I am having such fun here, sorry...... I have got to go out shopping now, so I will leave you with another clue. You now have to read my posts with a Slavic accent to get the full measure of the clue. You think Croatia is corrupt- we taught you. (but it's not Russia Ribaric)

Slatkica, I think it will be more fun if I do not reveal the country/ or maybe countries of my slavic origin at this stage. A clue is we can understand you better than you can understand us....... Wasn't the country of your Slavic origin obvious the moment you created your account on this board? .

Oops, Ribaric already answered but I assure you I knew you were Polish the moment I saw your nick and heard you mention your Slavic roots. .

Still getting ready to go shopping- a gal can't rush these things......
A round of applause for those who twigged...... Now about that thread Polish women- who put up that video of big Bertha from Poland. We do not look like that.
But back to Croatia and why I chose to live there. The fact that I chose to live in Cro rather than go back to my roots- is an endorsement of the safety of the country. And Slavs love Cro- no doubt about it.

And Slavs love Cro- no doubt about it. Isn't Poland as safe as Croatia? I'd guess sun and sea had a bit more importance in weighing your decision. .

Used to be. I can only speak about my friends' recent experiences in Warsaw. This might be an exaggerated account as I have not been to Warsaw, but my friend has a flat there: you have to cab it everywhere after 7pm because of the risk of getting mugged- men and women.
If I were to live in Poland- I would live near Krakow and near the mountains in the south. But Cro has the added advantage of being right in the centre of Europe, close to Italy. There are a few architectural similarities between Zagreb and Krakow- the same architect designed the theatres in both Zagreb and Krakow. If you want to see Poland at its best, go to Krakow.
But back to Cro....has great architecture, great central location in europe, beautiful coastline, cabbage salad (hee hee)....... and always something to moan about.

This might be an exaggerated account as I have not been to Warsaw, but my friend has a flat there: you have to cab it everywhere after 7pm because of the risk of getting mugged- men and women. High crime rate usually stems from very high poverty or too pronounced social differences. Possibly the social differences are very visible in Warsaw where all the newly formed elite of a 40 mil. people have concentrated. I wouldn't expect such things to happen in other cities in Poland. Croatia is probably lucky for being too small. If I were to live in Poland- I would live near Krakow and near the mountains in the south. But Cro has the added advantage of being right in the centre of Europe, close to Italy. There are a few architectural similarities between Zagreb and Krakow- the same architect designed the theatres in both Zagreb and Krakow. If you want to see Poland at its best, go to Krakow. I know, I saw the pictures of Krakow theater. But back to Cro....has great architecture, great central location in europe, beautiful coastline, cabbage salad (hee hee)....... and always something to moan about. What do you mean by great architecture? The only architecture that holds any value is at least 500 years old. And cabbage salad, eeek! .

Why thank you Capio. Seriously though, the last time I went to Krakow- my jaw was on the ground at the amount of good-looking people (Slatkica, you would definitely appreciate the views, if you know what I mean !- lol). Krakow is a very trendy young city as it is a student town. JP you would love it, as my Cro professor from Zagreb used to live in Poland on and off and loved it- easy adjustment. As for eating cabbage salad in Cro- come on, I have Polish genes and it is anti-cancer!!! Jp- I was told by my Cro professor about Zagreb theatre and Krakow theatre having the same architect. I just googled it and I do not think that is right- even though they look so similar.

I vaguely remember an Internet discussion about these two theaters where architects threw rocks at Krakow theater claiming it had no artistic value, unlike Zagreb theater which supposedly has some. I think it was also mentioned that architects were different. Ok, I managed to find the discussion. I says HNK was made by Fellner and Helmer from Vienna, while Krakow theater was made by local architect Jan Zawiejski. Then comes a long passage explaining why HNK is stronger, meaner and bolder than it's Krakow counterpart.... Whatever, they look almost the same. .

Sorry folks for us going on about Krakow and Zagreb theatres, I know it may be zzzzzzzz to a lot of people on the forum. Last post honest about these 2 theatres but it is interesting if you live/have been to Zagreb and have also been to Krakow. To put what JP and I have been saying into context, here are the 2 theatres (see if you can see the difference): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croatian_National_Theatre_in_Zagrebwww.krakow-info.com/slowacki.htmI can actually see the meaner side of the HNK!! PS JP- Zagreb might have been voted one of the most boring cities, but so was Warsaw. So you are in good company, hence go to Krakow.

PS JP- Zagreb might have been voted one of the most boring cities, but so was Warsaw. So you are in good company, hence go to Krakow. These days Zagreb is at the height of it's boringness, since on summer it traditionally turns into a ghost town. Actually I find it's current state quite refreshing because most of it's drawbacks are gone - gone are the traffic congestion, noise and pollution, I can easily get from point A to point B in 15 minutes or less. Today I spent a few hours in a park which is 5 minutes from Trg and is a piece of total wilderness where you can walk uninterrupted straight from the heart of the City to the Sljeme summit... And we felt we were alone there, the first person we met after 10 minutes walk was actually an acquaintance... It seems I like boringness. Am I turning boring? Should I crash on Zrce party for recuperation? .
