Today I ventured into ‘Carniola country’ the Northern Slovenian city of Maribor. I’ve been here before but this was the first time with this blog in mind and I think the last time I visited was 2003 so it was nice to see improvements and changes since then as well as the wonderful old town [...]

SNOvenia: You can run, but you can’t hide
Posted in Slovenia (SLO), Video, changing times on January 25, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Well it finally happened. It was inevitable yet it seemed that it might not happen. Christmas came and went, New Years, first 10, then 20 days of the year, it seemed the whole month would pass with Autumn-like weather. I even entertained the thought that perhaps I might not get to experience snow in Slovenia [...]
Turbo-Fed?

Ok, it has been kind of a slow week and I do not have anything profound to post right now as I was a few days visiting in Austria (that is not a Zone nation) so I will not write about that trip here.
I did find this trivia clip of Kevin [...]

Well, it has officially happened and the Slovenian Tolar (or SIT as it is often referred too) is officially retired from every shopping till and wallet in this country as of today.
Today a friend and I were down town Ljubljana and had some SIT left that we thought would be good to get rid of [...]

Well, I’ve been reading and keeping up on different Croatian blogs and just came upon a great news story that the old Hotel Lav (Lion) has been renovated (at $150 million no less) by the Le Meridien group.
When I was staying with friends in the Split suburb of Podstrana in 1999 I lived slightly up [...]
Veggie-Tech

Today I was walking down the street on the outskirts of Ljubljana this unusual sight caught my eye. At first glance it looks like your average urban garden plot complete with high voltage lines and all but what caught my interest was the dangling CD-ROM’s off the trees.
I know the all to common sight [...]
Better Days: A Drive By
Posted in Slovenia (SLO), Video, changing times on January 9, 2007 | 1 Comment »
This is a clip I took today driving in the very rural parts of Slovenia, we got way off the beaten path and were driving through these little villages so I caught one on my camera video as I was not driving today. We did eventually make it back to the [...]
