Smurfs from around the world

Smurf collecting is a worldwide hobby and one of the nicest things about the hobby is that you get to meet people from many other countries around the world. Sometimes we only meet online on Smurf forums but there are Smurf Fairs happening in different parts of the world which create a wonderful opportunity to meet likeminded collectors. And also, language seems to have no barriers when it comes to Smurfs! The Smurfs themselves were quite happy to use the word "Smurf" instead of many adjectives and this only helps their international appeal!

In the English language we call these little blue men "Smurfs" but they are called many other names around the world.
