    Life in Croatia isn't drastically different than life in Canada, but there are many little things that I've started doing, and somethings I've learned, as a result of living here for the past 9 years.
    Have any other expats started doing any of the same things? Leave a comment below and let me know your experiences living in Croatia!

      Sasvim prirodno. Tako je to i kod drugih naroda i jezika. Npr. ABBA , svedska grupa koja je dobila reputaciju po svom skolskom engleskom jeziku za razliku od grupa iz engleskih govornih zemalja. Poznato je da su nastavnici u svojoj nastavi engleskog jezika u Brazilu koristili ABBA-ine pjesme. Za svoj jezik ni ne maris, ali kada ti je strani jezik onda se trudis da ne pogrijesis i da sve tocno izgovoris. Vrlo logicno.

    Engleska rijec "floor" ima jos i znacenje 'pod' (podloga po kojoj hodas) pa je otud logicno da je prizemlje 'prvi pod'. Ali hrvatska rijec 'kat' nema to znacenje, mi za podlogu po kojoj hodamo kazemo 'pod'. Za nas rijec 'kat' jednostavno predstavlja uzvisenje, nivo, pa je logicno da brojimo katove od 'prvog uzvisenja'. Floor = surface on which one walks Kat = level above the ground

    I really enjoy your videos! It's very refreshing to see. I grew up in Croatia and moved to Canada at 10 years old. Since I don't live in Croatia anymore, it's nice to see updates and things that I kinda forgot about since I've left... plus, nostalgia. :) So thank you, your videos are enjoyable :). Your Croatian is very good too.

    I am hungarian, born and raised in the same culture, Vojvodina, then Yugoslavia. So, what I see is just our costumes from home and I always feel a gentle "at home" feeling when in Croatia (which was just a few times after my childhood). Moj plan je da najzad naucim tacno jezik i gramatiku, posto i to mi je "moj". Pozdrav iz Madjarske.

    Ah, yes, Croatians and their coffee.
    This relationship transcends consumption and enjoyment to represent a real lifestyle act that almost reaches religious levels. ;-)
    Although told from the opposite perspective of yours, Cody McClain Brown's "Chasing a Croatian Girl" does a wonderful job of illustrating many of your points; the best perhaps being his description of the drinking of coffee, above above all at the kakfic. This is always one of my major enjoyments every time I am in Croatia. Whether in Zagreb, Karlovac, Split or out on the islands whenever I have a few minutes (to endless hours) free I can always count on a kafic being within easy walking distance. This an experience that is Starbucks and co. do not even come close to achieving.

      Thank you, dear sir, for explaining us for ourselves so good!
      As a Croatian, I wouldn't explain it better.
      And for this video, I just adooore this dear lady and her family. I remember that my parents (I was born '84) never reffered about anyone as how many years some people have but the year they were born. I never tought about it as somethin weird, but when you wrote it (said) down, I do found that kind of awkward for someone.
      I just love your videos!
      P. S. You just used to "Vegeta" and now you need to unlearn it (hahha doslovno sam preveo "odučiti se").
      Also, there were times when they ("oni" as government, scientists, doctors [physicians]) taught us that cooking on the grease ("mast") is healthier than cooking on oil, but today is far from that, so cooking on grease (i think the term is "fat") is better than oil = "pečenje/kuhanje na masti je bolje, osobito seoska mast (mislim, ne kupovna; baka could have it) nego li peći na ulju".
      God, I love your friday fish (actually, one of my grandmothers who was atheist, always ate fish or any kind of seafood on friday, and especially bakalar [codfish] on Christmas Eve [which I hated as much as I hate janjetinu (lamb) so my father often described me as misplaced in birth hospital] - so the other part of statement is absolutely correct, and I love also your taste on manual (standard) shifter in cars and and and everything.
      So, in Split (southern Croatia, Dalmatia) is the same ;-)
      Much love!
      P. P. S. I just wrote this in (I don't know the word) dahu (dah - breath) so pardon my grammar.

      ​@@RoyalCroatianTours Although we all know, that the Turks brought the coffee to Europe since their second besiegement of Vienna, we are used to call it "naša kava" in order to seperate it from the drip coffee, just to prevent misunderstandings.
      Although...perhaps it's just a habit of Croats living abroad like me in Germany. Hmm....
      Do my fellow countrymen in Croatia really say turkish coffee rather than just "coffee"? *thinking...
      By the way....your vids are really veeery veeeery nice. I love em. :-)
      As I am a Vegeta-with-all-and-everything-eater, I am amused to see you with the mighty Vegeta-ahm..glass/mug/bottle, how to call it in english? Please help!
      Sjećam se, kad nešto nije bilo ukusno onda se uvijek netko stvori odenkuda samo da kaže: "Stavi malo Vegete, pa će biti bolje!" xD
      PS:
      Did you ever hear of the "Ajnpren juha"?
      I ate it very often, my grannies or later on my mother made it. The main ingredient was Vegeta. :D

    Will go to Croatia tomorrow (Zagreb)! Seems Sweden has more in common with Crotia then Canada and the US in some cases, we also have mostly standard gear (at about 80-90% of the cars), the first time I drove an automatic was at vacation in California. We also have sms parking and we don't count the first floor! We also love coffee but it differs from Turkish coffee, I think Swedish coffee, often with milk is more like American coffee. Swedish people are also more like American/Canadian, we like to plan before we meet our friends, often in calendars in our smartphones, because everyone is always busy.
