Off to Slovenia!

[GommeInc]

Righty ho, I am off to Slovenia as of tomorrow (11am ish) till Saturday evening sometime.

When I get back, I'll give a report on it. I didn't even know it existed until the Eurovision, and when the tickets were booked :P I'll even put up photos of the trip showing some of the scenery and whatever is famous there. So, I guess you could use this as a discussion about Slovenia :)

Have a nice week. It'll be fun to see what has happened in the UK in about 6 days :P

Peace out.

I was going to comment that i was going to the same place.. but seeing as im kinda going WITH you anyway, it kinda looses its effect o.0

Oo, I'm actually from Slovenia :) where excatly did you go? Ljubljana? Koper? or all over Slovenia o.o since we are like uber small you could easily visit whole country. I'm glad we're getting more and more tourists lately and people will actually know where Slovenia even is. Bet our language confuses you ;) but have fun and enjoy it, it's beautiful country.

Kinda off topic, but is 'Anze Kopitar' a big idol in your country? Or do you have no idea who the hell he is? Just curious.

Of course he's a big idol for people that like hockey :) but yeah I know who Anže
is, he is pretty famous here. I mean people that watch sports would know who he is for sure.

Ah okay thanks, just wondering cause he was the 1st slovenian born hockey player to make it to the NHL, so I was thinking that if he was so big in Slovenia that it might inspire more people to try hockey or something.

have a nice time :)

I'm sure he did..it's great achievement for such a small country. I'm personally more into basketball and I was really pleased when first slovenian basketball player got into NBA. We got quiet few there now..like Nesterovič (playing at Toronto raptors atm I think), Brezec (playing for Charlotte's), Udrih (playing in Spurs). I don't know that much about hockey tho ^^ Anže was a lot on the sport news tho awhile ago.

I'm amazed this thread has comments :P

I went to Bled and stayed around Lake Bled most the time. It is extremely beautiful and the weather is more random than England. It was warm in Ljubljana and when we got to Bled it slowly started to rain, but that's not random, I got side tracked. A few days in it was really warm and when we were off to River Raft, it started raining THEN started hailing. Very odd weather there, but really nice when it was sunny.

Me and Mentor/Carl found a few magazines in the airport when we were departing and we read about Slovenia and found it very interesting. The airport news and the Renault Twingo were the ones that stuck out.

Anyway, I recommend it. It's peaceful, calm, quiet and un-touched in a way. I personally find it better than hell whole Britain. The pools have bands which collect how much money you;ve spent so you pay it back at the end and food and drink is about the same price and cheaper in some cases.

The language is realyl weird, I was of the opinion it was a French/German/Italian hybrid language, not a unique one :P All I remember is Hvala!

Yep Bled is so nice..it is actually my fav part of whole Slovenia. Did you go to the island in middle or?

regarding weather, it's been changing a lot lately because of what we've done to the nature..(not us I mean world wise ofc) before we did have quiet a steady normal one. Like certain months rain, certain sun..now it's all messed up. It's really hot here at the moment :( you should of come to Maribor, so much better then Ljubljana :D we had a festival here, it ended yesterday..too bad you didn't come, we had like concerts and fireworks and stuff.

I told you the language is confusing..and it's hard for people to actually learn it. Don't you know what zdravo is also? ^^

All I know is that they like to chuck random Js into their words :P Loads of people knew basic English, thankfully.

Yep, we went to the island in the middle, although we were pushed for time so we could have another go at the mountain tabogan ride again. We did loads of things yesterday, or tried to.

We rowed over to the island twice, which is hard work seeing as i have next to no idea how to actual row :p We only stayed for 5 days though so we didn't really get very far, seeing as we crammed most stuff in to the last 2 days due to the rain at the start. Still it was fun and id want to go back :)

Plus the language was very confusing since the way the words are said doesn't really resemble how there spelt, or at least it seemed that way to me o.0 *remembers trying to translate the days on the news channels weather*

plus "zdravo" ? not a clue O.O

Also, as a question, Is pizza the only food you can get in Slovenia? or is that just around lake bled?

We saw a chinese restaurant on the way out of the Lake Bled, but you don't like that :P It seems Pizza Restaurants dominiate the Lake Bled area, but that is most likely down to the area Slovenia is, next to Italy etc.

Zdravo- hello but we got more greetings maybe they used dober dan? or pozdravljeni? :D days would be Monday- Ponedeljek Tuesday- Torek Wednesday- Sreda Thursday- Četrtek Friday- Petek Saturday- Sobota Sunday- Nedelja..just so you know in future ^^ and we pronounce all letters differently from english so.

Pizza..Gomme already explained that one. We got some nice dishes, did you try gibanica or štrudelj? they're so yummy..

[GommeInc]

I got sick of pizza :P During dinner on the last night, I had a salad followed by pizza, and my body just stopped taking it in, I wasn't sick, but my appetite just vanished. So I won't be eating italian food for a while I think.

We found out the days of the week in a dictionary, but the info channel had the first 3 letters, so we worked around that for weather.

You sure your not off to see the wizzard?
