Day 2: Get yourself comfortable

Dobar dan! (Good day)

This is the first day in Split. I was met by a student volunteer in the local committee in Split. We walked from the train station to the student dorms where I`ll stay during my training. We talked about everything about Croatia and Split. Here is the summary of our topics.

1- Split is a small city and you can walk easily from one side to the other.
2- Split girls are more beautiful then Zagreb girls. All you have to do is being cheerful to be with them. :)
3- Pizza is the cheapest food in town. You can buy a pizza for 40 Kn and it is much bigger than the biggest pizza in Turkey.
4- There is a national drink in Split called Rakia sounds like Raki but much different than it.
5- Croatia is just the same as Turkey in many ways. They also have a very strict bureaucracy, for example we walked the way from dorm to police station -about 20 mins- twice to get one more paper.
6- On sunday every shop is closed except cafes. People are stuck in their home on sunday which means the city center is empty.
7- They also suck with TV Series -yes we suck think about the prime time series in Turkey. They`d like to watch American series like House, Lost etc.
8- There was an election on sunday. A capitalist, a communist and a fascist were in the election and the capitalist wins this time. The former major was a communist by the way.
9- There are some brilliant bands doing some underground music. The most popular songs of one of them is "Your daughter is a whore!". :) Well... OK!
10- Croatia also have a poor economy. They already sold all the Croatian companies -just like Turkey ha?- They have lower paychecks but they are happy. :)

So this is the summary of our conversation. Tomorrow I`ll blog about my first day in the office, adventures with the police department and that fucking rain disturbing the citizens of Split.

Bye!
