    Tamboritsas/tamburice are also common in parts of southern Slovenia, particularly in the regions of Bela krajina and Kostel. AFAIK, the instrument has its origins in Anatolia.

    The tamburica video isn’t working at the moment I’m afraid. Could be that mighty Google thinks it might be copyrighted or something. :) I told my friend who uploaded it to check what’s wrong, so hopefully it might be back online soon.

    That’s odd. Google Video seems to be running okay. Did your friend take it down perhaps?

    No, it’s still there. I read in some forums that this error message (The video is currently not available) means that the Google Video editors temporarily disabled viewing of this (particular) video. This might happen because of copyright issues, or something else. I didn’t put the video on the net, so I can’t check the account for messages, but hopefully my friend should do that by the end of the day…

    Moral of the story: Ljubljana looks like Calgary and has 4 attractions.

    Um, ok. *laughter*

    Not really. But it’s fun to verbally masturbate.
