    I suggest you consider renaming the blog to “The Glory of Serbia”. Due to the fact that ex-Yu category almost “outweights” entries about Slovenia, it might be more appropriate.

    Maybe the fact that Slovenia was part of Yugoslavia for 70 years has something to do with the many ex-Yu posts?

    In the meantime, a quick googling of this site reveals these results:

    “Serbia”: 21 hits
    “Slovenia”: 237 hits

    Not exactly time for “The Glory of Serbia” quite yet. But thanks for the kind comments anyway.

    Please do mind, that being 70 years part of Yugoslavia is only 5% of 1.400 years of Slovenian history. Slovenians voted for independence from Yugoslavia 13 years ago.

    Looking at the last four entries, it seems the blog is about life in Yugoslavia, not Slovenia. I do not know why you so often write about ex-Yugoslav republics if the blog is supposed to be about “life in Slovenia”. Do you live in Fužine? ;-)

    Don’t mind Valuk, Mike. You’re doing an awesome job and the google search proves Valuk wrong anyway, but sometimes it’s hard to face the facts for some people.

    I would like to hear your take on attenting a firemen’s party (gasilska veselica), that would be interesting :-P.

    Googling of this site also reveals these results:

    Serbia: 21
    Yugoslavia: 237
    Croatia: 237
    Slovenia: 237

    Huh?? Something wrong with Google or did you actually mention Yugoslavia, Croatia and Slovenia together on 237 pages?

    Presumably something is wrong with google.

    I do get your point about Yugoslavia being a small part of Slovenia’s entire history. However, the smell of Yugoslavia is still very much in the air. Whereas the Romans left some ruins and the alphabet, Yugoslavia still has an undeniable, living presence: witness the current staple of politicians, the architecture of the cities, even many of the current political issues — the border dispute with Croatia, the erased, the debts of Ljubljanska Banka — all are inexorably tied together with the former Yugoslavia.

    And, no, I don’t live in Fužine. I live in Jesenice.

    Now I get it why you still feel the smell of Yugoslavia in the air. I thought it was either you live in Fužine (part of Ljubljana) or in Jesenice, since both have an above average population of the so called “Southerners” (Južnjakov, that is people from other republics of ex-Yugoslavia). :-)

    Heh heh, Valuk, turn the sarcasm detector on.

    Look at the three weather report images on the left. Any subtle rays of apprehension shinning into your skull yet?
