    Thank you for the tour. In Chicago we have a lot of rabbits running around the city. I love to see them.

      Aw! Rabbits are adorable. That sounds great! I didn't notice any in The Blues Brothers. I'll have to take a closer look.

    Sounds like a lovely city! I had never heard of a Nutria before, sounded like some kind of nutritional supplement, which I know now that it is not. 😁

      That's a great idea for a game show! "Nutritional Suppliment or Animal?" For 100 dollars: Ant Eater

    Chase Novak: Sounds like a "B" actor in a Roger Cornman movie.
    Luka Novak: Chase's half brother twice removed?
    Kim Novak (their Mom):must be proud.

    Any places you haven't lived?🙂 "Hanging out with rats". Not a bad thing. They are intelligent animals. In my language nutria is called Beverrotte. Try to say that. And you should smile more.❤ PS: is it any chance you can film the city/village you live now while making a reading vlog?

    • @Michael_Wertenberg
      @Michael_Wertenberg  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      That's a good idea. Beverrotte, sounds like a side character in a Victorian romance. Beverrotte never gets the man she wants; always ends up alone and bitter.

    The only Slovene novel I know anything about is Alamut by Vladimir Bartol.

      @Michael_Wertenberg  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I had never heard of it. Just looked it up on Goodreads. It has very high ratings and a compelling premise. It's now on my TBR! Thanks for putting it on my radar.

    You had problem communicating with neighbors :O ? I would say a lot more people talk English than German, except maybe older people (like older than 50yrs). We have English as obligatory language in schools since young age - like 7 or 8 yrs old.

      Yep, I was largerly around older people, it's true like my landlord and their friends.

    About Breed: Hmm. Lawless decaying weird nation on the outskirts of the EU? Obviously he meant Britain. An easy mistake.
    More seriously, I am loving these videos. Having been chronically ill all my adult life, I only ever moved out of external necessity, and travel by choice is not a part of my life. So all this is fascinating and fantastic to me.

    Paolo Cuelho's novel Veronika decided to die also takes place in Ljubljana (spoiler alert: the town is portrayed pretty badly, as a depressing gray Socialist nightmare).

      Baffling that Ljubljana doesn't get the love it deserves.

      How could that be? Are you a visibly jacked psychic?🙃Can you guess what another city could be? (2 of them are a bit obvious, considering I've talked about them in other videos. But I would be gobsmacked if you could guess any of the others)😀

      @@Michael_Wertenberg in the first video you mentioned a European capital with a population of 270,000. While I don't have the population of all European capitals memorised, I thought it would be either Ljubljiana or Tirana. Also, you seem like the type for it. An Adriatic type, spiritually speaking. Have you tried Rijeka or Trieste with a lesser-known work of Thomas Mann in pocket?

      @@GreenTeaViewer Very impressive deductive skills on display! Bravo. I've almost moved to Croatia several times. I don't think I'd be able to stand the heat, though. And Trieste: I prefer to live in countries where I don't speak the language; I like living in a bubble and unfortunately i speak Italian, so that might shatter my bubble experience. Do you have experience with those cities?
