I'm coming to Slovenia in May and there's nothing you can do or say to stop me.
It's may, how is it?
@@bradcoats5522 I arrive tomorrow 🙂
@@jebus56162 ❤ good
@@jebus56162How’d it go?
Bravo bravooo bravooo ❤❤❤❤😊🎉😊🎉
This was thoroughly delightful and informative. I love hearing about Slovenia. :) The bee thing was the biggest surprise. Very cool!
It was also a surprise to me as a Slovenian.
So, if I understand this correctly both the US and Slovenia can completely hide their tallest buildings in their deepest lakes. We have much in common. Thank you.
As a Dutch person, i'm very envious of your landscapes, flora and fauna.
I grew up in the Arizona desert, so naturally I am very appreciative of your warning about all the trees in Slovenia.
You do know trees scream when they are harmed. You just cant hear them.
@@xPumaFangx And when you step on their spines with your bare feet, the cacti laugh.
i have visited Slovenia. Loved it. I must have one of the most unique ways of entering a country for the first time. Staying in Italy en route to Montenegro to watch an England football game you had to catch a Bus from Venice to Villach in Austria. I started to take photos of the Locos on the station. The guard of my train wanted to ask me what I was up to. I told her I worked for the Railways and was interested in the designs. She came back and said the Driver of my train wanted a word. He thought I was a driver so invited me to share a Cabride into Slovenia through the mountain. I never told him I was only cleaner !
Heyy I am also from Arizona (Phoenix Metro area), and Slovenia is my favorite country! You're all awesome ❤
you can take your gun with you in case of you meet some tree
Do not visit Slovenia, if you want to lose your mobile phone. Reader's Digest "lost" 30 mobile phones in Ljubljana. 29 of 30 lost phones were returned.
My friend has lost her purse, a mobile phone, and a wallet in her first four months in Slovenia. All were found and returned faster than it took her to realize they were gone.
OMG. Iam Slovenian and this is good and bad at the same time. Slovenia is my homeland.
Don't visit Slovenia if you are on a diet hahahaha I went to Slovenia and tried Slovenian food and I cann tell you that I would never stop eating there hahahaha
Slovenia is great country, this video is absurd if your worried about losing your phone then go to america you’ll lose it quick.
@@SlovenianMappingBruh you know what parodies are, right? 💀
Slovenia is absolutely beautiful. I love it.
Ja
That is true maybe she hate it but I don’t
@@davidbartolic6572 true/and same I LOVE ITT
Yes but what country isn't beautiful?
Ty❤
"The deepest cave in Slovenia is Čehi 2. I don't know where Čehi 1 went but, here we are." Thank you, Barbara, for this in-depth reporting.
I now want to visit Slovenia. I'll keep an eye out for Čehi 1.
"Deepest cave", "in-depth reporting": very good! 🙂
Your dry humor in this vid was brilliant. Hilarious, Barbara. Nice job!
I love it too😀👍👍👍
Affirmative!
Fun fact: Nebotičnik (English: the Skyscraper) in Ljubljana was the tallest residential building in Europe, when it was built in 1933. 🏢
Wasn't it just Yugoslavia and central Europe?
@@GabrTM probably not, but slovenians are slavs, and like most of slavic countries, even when we are first in something (not counting sport) the big ones usualy take that from us. for exampel first parachute was made and suscesfully tested by croat Faust Vrančić in 1617, first pen by Slavoljub Penkala, not sure was he croat or slovenian. Nikola Tesla was croatian serb, but T. Edison bhought or stole most of his stuff and presented them as his.. West Europe was never invaded or occupaied by Turks, thanks to polish and croats, but no austrian, german or hungarian will ever admit that, even with historical facts and evidence, they will say oh they were part of our empires so tehnicaly we defended ourselves.. many more exampels.. even when it is proven some slav was first, big ones will say oh no it was not, even thou there are evidence... that is the curse of small nations..
@@boredutopia that doesn't matter, im saying biggest in the region of central Europe and Yugoslavia not nationalities
@@GabrTM and i am saying maybe it was the first biggest in whole europe, but usualy when something comes as a first from small countries and nations it usualy gets crossed as nope, some other biger country was the first.. so there is posiblity that it was first tallest building in whole europe...
@@GabrTM so quick google check says this Nebotičnik is a building in Ljubljana, Slovenia, originally designed as an apartment tower. The Art Deco structure was one of the tallest buildings in Europe upon its completion in 1933 and still remains an iconic part of the city today. In fine weather, enjoy the views from the terrace on top of the building. so yup it was first tallest residental building ever built in whole europe in that time.... internet is amasing, if you are not sure about something, you can always check it..
🐝Slovenia proposed a World Bee Day. 🐝 After years of efforts, it was finally confirmed by the United Nations in 2017. 🐝So, May 20th is now the World Bee Day. 🐝
BEATIFUL country. I want to visit one day
Stari hvala ti da babi američanko jebeš v glavo 🤣
I am blessed and honored to be from Slovenia. I love my home. 🌞
most beautiful country in the world ❤ (love from spain!)
I love spain
How can one get job in Slovenia?
I'm a Ukrainian and live in Slovenia for 10 months. When I first visited this country, I thought it was really good, much better than our. But didn't even thought locals would say not to visit it. I began studying in a school center, learning Slovenian. Really good and beautiful country, must say.
I think this vid is a joke
I'm Russian and I live in Slovenia for 8 years.
I was a kid and that was a great decition.
And + there's no war.
And it was quite easy to learn Slovenian for me even tho I'm Russian))
And btw not all Russians are bad.
I feel bad for you because the reason is probably because of the war as it did begin around that time I'm from Slovenia and have a Ukranian schoolmate he's been in my class for like 6 years now his name is Vladyslav.
Barbara is being 'zelo sarkastična.'
@@palpa925 ukrainians have different kind of humor 😀
My biggest dream is one day visit slovenia. I love your videos and humor / sarcasm.
Greetings from México :)
Mexico seems like a great country too definetley worth visiting.
Greetings from Slovenia!
You won't regret. BEAUTIFUL Country
Dont visit slovenia. Its the worst country ever.
@@Nik-6675SLOVENIJA I BALKANIJA IS THE GREATEST HAHA!
@@lsadin2457 Don't mix up Slovenia and Balkan, Slovenia is not a Balkan country.
Entertaining as always, made me smile. Thanks, from middle America.
Slovenia: It's like a minecraft map you're not allowed to interact with.
I cracked a smile or two. Seriously in awe of the beauty of Slovenia.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you are amazing . You got a fan from Nigeria... your video just wants to make me come over there just for laughs
I'm gonna visit it for those 11 reasons. Thanks for this fun video Barb. You're awesome!
Super cool! Thank you!
Thank you for the info... And the laughs 😄
So basically, you have fresh air, lush greenery and vast scenery. Don’t threaten me with a good time!! 😊
I am dying. This is brilliant. Love it Barbara.
Great stuff!
Love the delivery, very informative
I love it how you give emphasis on respecting the nature. Some tourists just don't have respect for nature and its inhabitants. Definitely will be in our family's bucket list!
You are awesome!!! I am coming to Slovenia this summer, and watched this video to prepare. You really showed me how great your country is!
:) :) Visited Slovenia and attended a Laibach concert. The People where nice, the land is great, the Band is a Legend.
do you know that Laibach is an old name for Ljubljana which is a capitol city of Slovenia, i bet many Slovenians don't know that fact and im not even Slovenian.
@@lovezg4126 Hi; yea i do know that, but only because i read a little bit about the history on the band Laibach. It says something like, they chose that name because it was forbidden under Tito.
If you are a real communist you like Laibach! SLAVA CCCP!
Love it already 🥰
Love your dry sense of humour. I am fascinated by Slovenia & definitely top of my destination list & my favourite colour is green so perfect.
Amazing video😊. My grandmother was slovene. She taught me the language ( the way she spoke). Than I attended bilingual elementary school ( italian/slovene) near Trieste. As a family on sundays we used to go on small excursion in Slovenia. Usually on the sea side ( Portorož, Izola etc) or to the woods in Karst. I remember once we visited Ljubljana. ( I was about 8 or 9 ). My father asked me to translate him what people said. I realized that it was very hard for me to understand the way people speak in the capital. It's so different from the coast😱😱😱. I was so embarrassed 😂😂😂
What’s up BarbiGirl! 🙃
Whoa! Over 60% of Slovenia is forest! Sounds amazing! Short buildings are cool. Bees are cool & honey is 👌🏼. Camping and just chilling is fine with me. 🙂👍🏼 caves are cool. 👍🏼 Deep water doesn’t bother me…I’ve been hundreds of miles offshore on many occasions. I’m 6’….I’d fit in fine. 😏
This video was epic! You had a very April Ludgate (Aubrey Plaza) vibe, like in Parks & Rev. I love that show. Ron Swanson is my spirit animal. 😏
Hope you’re having an amazing day Lepa! We got tornadoes, 60+ mph winds, and thunderstorms coming in. 🫤
at 60-mph,.....we said, it's a bit windy ;) ....(From Slovenija-Vipava walley)...it may go more than 100 mph-good air comin' ;)
What a great video. Keep going, I have had fun watching you
oh my. what a place. how
I would not want to go
there. thank you for
highlighting these
terrible dangers.
you may have
saved my
life.
Loved your video 😂❤ I am visiting Slovenia in August with my 2 sons and i found your video doing research. It really made me laugh. Greetings from Germany!
Love it 👍🏻
i know this was a joke video Barb. years ago i stumbled on your channel because i was thinking about moving to your country. eventually i came to the conclusion that the high cost of living wasn't going to be sustainable for me. Ljubljana is just as expensive as my hometown here in the states. i ended up buying a house in Tbilisi, Georgia in the beginning of last year. ive always wanted to visit your country though. it looks so beautiful!
Ljubljana is more expensive because it's the bloody capital other towns are cheaper.
That was absolutely hilarious .. and you did it so dead panned … lol glad I’m the opposite of those !! Except maybe the zip lines lol hvala Barbara more reasons to visit again 🇸🇮❤️🇸🇮
haha! Brilliant. Thank you for this video!
Sooo different and refreshing video, thanks
Sorry Barb. Slovenia sounds pretty awesome to me. It is such a beautiful country. I hope to visit some day. Thanks for one Sassy vid!
You are a doll! Love your dry humor.
I smiled the entire video, thanks. You come from a beautiful country....
You have a wonderful sense of humor, and you made me laugh several times! You made Slovenia look fantastic, and I hope to visit some day!
I remember the schooltrip due to diploa back in 1999 to Ljubljana - we went to a cave nearby, was very cool - first cave i didn't feel claustruphobic...
btw funfact Barbara: in Switzerland, "Glatt" and "Lustig" means the same, but never for the same person; glatt means funny, but also means "slippy" or "icy", so if you fall down, and someone says "s'isch glatt gsi", it can mean: if a bystander says that: it was funny (to watch), if it was the one who kissed the ground says it "it was slippery" ;-)
That's funny.
But what if two people slip and they both say it?
@@Nik-6675 well, it depends: it they refer to themselfes - it was slippery. if they talk about the other person - funny...
Watching the replay!
Cool info
most excellent video!
Very funny! We finally got to visit Slovenia last summer and really loved it.
I have plants for attract bees too, but I need them to pollinate the flowers because they attract the hummingbirds, they are my real goal because I love watching them eating from the flowers.
Awesome video... great job
This was educational and funny to watch. Your delivery throughout was like you had "lost a bet and someone just off camera was forcing you to complete the video and constantly prodding you to say everything in a way that you didn't agree with."😂
I always enjoy your sense of humor. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS AND ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS!!😇👍👍
Loads of trees?
Lakes?
Sounds like I'm coming camping this year
I haven't laughed this hard in a long time... "Thank you !" * Excellent video and very informative, and "Thank you" for sharing the video... ' Semper Fi " Mike in Montana, USA :)
Satire! I love it!
This video was stellar, I am so glad I fell onto your channel. Seriously, you make deadpan an artform....
I've visit it in 2017 the region of Nova Gorica...
Beautiful countryside villages and an amazing landscape, But I went to play on a "RAVE" party at the Soča Valley... 😁
I really need to visit Slovenia..
its really interesting the way you describing your love about Slovenia..... love to hear you again
🙂Slovenian coast od indeed short but not 26 but 48km.
About 5 min by car!
Very clever video. Well done. (will be visiting Slovenia in August).
I like the way you round the metric measurements to the nearest meter but then calculate the equivalent in feet to 3 decimal places
I hope someday I can swing a trip. Gotta see where my family came from.
yaaassssssssss LOVE IT
Great, you almost convinced me! This is superb, please do something similar.😀😍
He he he… love it! Really enjoyed your video :-)
Sounds like a Disney theme park but real.
Watching this high was a good idéa! :)
Same here 👍
exception presentation and sense of humour . one of the best I have seen online . bravo .
Yes, you succeeded in making me smile. Thanks
You made me smile 😎
The combined network of ziplines in Slovenija is considered the longest in the world. Have been on them twice. In Žalec, Slovenija, there's a beer fountain in the heart of their hops growing region. You purchase an empty mug and can sample all the craft brews in the country from various fountains arranged in a semicircle. Barbara was spot in about all the different dialects. Went on a tour and our driver was unfamiliar with the area so he stopped at a local tavern to get directions. Came back a few minutes later and stated he didn't understand a single word of the inn keeper, less than an hour's drive from Ljubljana.
I cried until my tears fell like rain, Slovenian rain, wet, very very wet.
You forgot the main reason not to visit Slovenia 🇸🇮 Barbara is not in the country but away on another traveling adventure.
Odlično!
I'll still come back as soon as possible 🤪
Slovenian Tourism Board: "We need to attract more tourists!"
Barb: "Will work for beer!"
Due to an unfortunate misspelling (in English, for reasons best to not think too hard about) the tourism board attempted to pay her in bees.
I worked in Aviation for several years. I was a student pilot long ago, although I never stuck with it long enough to get my private pilot's license. I have flown in open-airframe and open cockpit aircraft. I LOVED ALL OF IT.
All that said: _"Skyscrapers"?_ I HATE being IN tall buildings.
I even HATE being NEXT TO tall buildings.
Thanks!
this is one of the most informative and funny videos for the tourist. Thank you making it this interesting and informative
Super! 😂😂😂
Wow, im coming to Slovenia in august time and this has completely sold it. Cant wait
Nobody's gonna mention how funny she delivers her speech and the bathroom setting too😂
Slovenia seems really wonderful country and I see have many natural places i like a lot this
please dont we are racist
@@ilikekomododragons To jaz dvomim.
@@florjanbrudar692 jest sem
After watching this video, it gives me so much courage to visit Slovenia!!! I actually AM going to visit your country 2weeks later. Although I’m still doing homework for which buses I should take while staying in Maribor and also crossing border but scared of missing the local bus… etc, still very excited to visit the country with LOVE 🤍💙❤🇸🇮
Thanks for the Info Mam, I think I'll love it there 🇯🇲.
Barbara, a 45 minute drive along the coast is 45 minutes longer than a drive along the Czech coast. You didn't have to brag about it so much. :,-((
The Czech republic doesnt have a coast
Is this an old video, or did you get the year wrong in the Bee comment. ???
I went to Kranjska Gora when I was young, for the cold, white sliding and it was nice.
But it was the Yugoslavia then, so OK.
I drank some Slivovitz also.
Heyy What should we do on a Rainy day in Ljubljana?
Visit one of the many caves in the country.
I have to admit you really managed to pull my leg with the title of this video 😁 Found it among my TH-cam recommendations today and thought, "What the heck - why would anyone in the world warn other people against visiting Slovenia?" - from my own experience a country with quaint old towns and cities, a really fantastic, magnificent nature and very nice and friendly people. Well, by way of checking what the "reasons" for the warning might be, I learned a number of new interesting things about Slovenia (about bee-keeping, for example) and was pleasantly reminded of what a beautiful country it is. Thanks!
Title is bait.
On the topic of bees, slovenian honey bees referred to in the video aren't assholes so you don't need to kill them most of the time. However, If you have ever had to run like hell because the wind blew a hive out of tree onto your car while you are washing it or you discovered an underground nest they decided to make in your garden when just tilled three weeks early, you may want to kill one or two bees or the hundred chasing you around and trying to kamikaze you to death for a mile before leaving you alone. Seriously, I am chased around at least once a year. Usually its the damn yellowjackets here in the US though, which are wasps not bees. Every year, early fall-ish. How dare I move my trash can to the road and back? I have to constantly get rid of them either by wiping out the whole colony or getting the whole colony to move. And they will just swarm your ass on sight. At least bees usually are provoked whether you did so or not like the hive falling from a gust of wind. Yellowjackets not so much. Males can't sting but there are a lot of females and they just attack. Just kill those find the colony and wipe them out with gasoline dry ice poison low grade explosives maybe a pound of tannerite. Maybe catch a raccoon and let him munch down on them. The worse thing about them outside trying to murder you is is they'll get rid of your other pollinators. If you see them around a hive, they are trying to kill the honey bees off. So pick the right side in the pollinator war. Choose the fuzzy ones.
I just received a call from 🇸🇮 so I came here to see where this was…. I want to live here. ❤
OK, one serious question. I have never been to a bear country to hike before. And next year I will be hiking in Logar Valley/Robernov Kot/Bohinj Lake area in May. Also going to see daffodils in Jesenice. Should I be worried about my safety?
Really funny video 😂 We will visit Slovenia this year 🤩
Such dry humour. Love it.
Great reason to watch Barbara, her sense of humor.
I just misread your channel name as "The Batman Horvat" and now I think that needs to be a series on your channel.
You are very funny 😅❤, i'm going to Slovenia for few days in about 2 weeks, i can't wait, yes i love trees and bees!🎉
what happened to proper counting?
Well, despite your glowing endorsement of Slovenia, we're going to visit! :-)
Loved your video - very funny. Thanks!
