In Croatia






If you can't find the sun in Finland, you might need to figure out some alternative options. The solution this time was one week trip to Croatia. Since the beginning of this holiday I was very surprised how familiar Croatian language sounded, I mean similar to Russian. I was absolutely exited when I noticed that I actually understand some words like milk, butter, pharmacy, beer, wine, good morning and so on... The roots of slavic culture with matrjoshka dolls can be found here too. There is only one thing missing – Cyrillic alphabets. I wouldn't have been surprised if I would have met even more Russian tourists here too because they can travel to Croatia without visa. I was trying to study some more Russian words while resting on the beautiful beaches of Makarska. That was my homework from the Russian course. If it felt sometimes too difficult you could always go to refresh your mind with snorkeling or swimming...
