Sorry I'm a sucker for nature scenes and this is nice as always.
I prefer english over croatian, I get all irritated when I see a user using a croatian version of operating system, and then there's the internet where majority of communities are english based... The best thing probably is that in Croatia foreign language movies, TV shows and such are not synchronized to our native language like in most European countries.
And here I go ranting
I just didn't really know the preference.
Yeah! I have a turkish friend who learned english slang so he could watch
"My name is Earl" lol.
But you live in croatia..... how's it like?
It's alright (living here), stuff's expensive, but I guess it's the same everywhere.
I have dreams of traveling, I want to see the world, to me places hold meaning, people who grew up at a certain street corner are tethered to that corner for life, because, even if they hate it, they'll never forget growing up right there, and passing it each day.
I figure going to new places means new perspectives, life's an adventure.
I haven't even met my mother's side of the family in Thailand. I grew up without my asian and italian counterparts.
I'm going to meet them in Thailand this summer when we go, a graduation present from my grandma.
So I guess that's why I'm interested, I figure if you live in Croatia, it's different, maybe not in the everyday activities, but in the stories you have to tell, because don't forget: a country may be the identical to another, but its people will always be unique.
It's cool you're part Italian, that kinda makes us part neighbors
From my point of view:
Croatia is struggling within, it has a lot to offer, especially to nature enthusiasts like myself, yet somehow I feel nature in it's raw form is very neglected here in favor of concrete. I live in Split, the second biggest city in Croatia that's settled on the south, on the coast. It is my home, and even though I think I know it like the insides of my pocket I constantly get surprised by new unexplored places it has to offer. Split is actually a peninsula, with a pretty big (and green) hill (a very old and very ex volcano as I've been taught) on the far end. It's my favorite place here, green pine forest mostly surrounded by Adriatic sea. It's also one of the few unchanged places here, everything else changed a little (or a lot) and it's just not the same for me any more. I cling on to memories, and am nostalgic a lot, so I guess I understand what you mean with "places hold meaning".
I haven't traveled much either, hope to do it more with my significant other, but right now we're just struggling to survive. I have seen Italy a bit, and Slovenia (both neighboring countries) and am still exploring Croatia.
I would love to see Thailand, my father is a sailor (is there another, more modern term for that?) so he's seen a lot of the world and passed a few impressions.
Have fun with your family in Thailand, I hope you have a great time
I was reading about how modern day Greece inhabitants who grew up in the Islands while todays generation was still growing loved nature, and how they saw that the new upcoming generation was becoming Americanized and they started to favor the modern things, buildings, technology, more then their rural utopia.
It's really kinda sad.
So I see your point.
Croatia sounds beautiful!
Florida is... well Florida, it's hot all the time and traffic is terrible in the summers (It took me two hours to drive to my house today. Usually it takes me thirty minutes. lol)
But when you live here, breathe here, and just stop to see what's really around you, you feel like your the only person here.
The beach, for me, is just 55 steps South of my home. Walking those steps for eighteen years; the path is ingrained in my head. It really makes you feel special knowing that something so close to you could be so far away for others.
How even though the tourists come and go, I know they don't see the nature that I see when I look at the beach.
Italy is another one of my dream countries lol.
My grandmother is native to Naples, I want to visit there and Rome!
and now I want to see Croatia as well!
Oh and the word sailor is still modern
And thanks! I know I will!
