A Little Humor. Check out the photos for Croatia’s version of off-street parking; makes using the sidewalk a challenge, especially when you come upon the dumpsters on the sidewalk too!

The apt. building was built in the 1960’s. The electrical outlets in our apt. are few – so we rigged up a way to keep more than one kitchen appliance plugged in at a time – but can only use one at a time or the breaker switches pop! Plugging and unplugging all the time seemed dangerous because the wall outlet is loose and the voltage here is 240, not 110 like in the US. So far, so good; but we’re keeping our fingers crossed anyway!
Going to the Cinema. Sometimes the local Cinema shows movies in English with Croatian subtitles. It’s a good way to see the Croatian language while hearing the English. We can recognize some of the words! Saying them is another matter! The best part is we don’t have to sit through commercials before the movie begins and it costs less than in the US. Shhhhh . . . don’t tell them!
