Originally posted by robbie carrobieVery strange. Slovenians are, unlike rest of Yugoslavs, like dwellers of an isolated village in Scandinavia. They don't trust foreigners, and pretend not to know English. They insist on Austrian boarder dialects with a lot of Italian loanwords. They have Lutheran working ethic although they are 99 per cent catholics. They are compulsive obssessed with cleanlyness. You can't see a single piece of paper on the street. Grass field look like in a cartoon, geometrically perfect, almost sick green, clean, but it seems no human foot ever walked there. After 18:00 local pubs are full of grim, silent men who suck beer in themselves like thirsty desperate passengers in Calcuta. They play Austrian card game called "snaps" which means brandy in German. They get drunk very easily. Have no sense for humor. Easy get involved in fist fights when drunk. On the street they piss on traffic signs and sing false. They like buckwheat porridge with bacon and onion, and sausages. They are stingy and prefer others to pay bills in pubs and beer houses. Not talented barbers, however, more like butcher type. They think all other Yugoslav nations are lazy gypsies.
what was it like?
