So this fine, Saturday afternoon I found myself sitting in a cafe in Zagreb, Croatia, drinking coffee and listening to some croatian man have a heated debate with the cafe guy/barmen

Try the rakia/slivovitz or whatever they call it. It's plum brandy.

Yes I know all my recommendations are for booze. But you're in the Balkans! 70% of plums there go to making plum brandy.

Haha, yeah. The thing is I just get given alcohol and told "this is traditional!" so I don't know for sure what it is I amhaving. Although I think I had some plum brandy in Slovakia.I think.

Passport stamp?! Jealous! I only have like three of those.

Gonna be honest, all I know about Croatia is that Dr. Luca from ER is from there, and he is smoking hot. I know, what insight I have. -__- It sounds like something from a movie!

There was a war there in the 90s, you know, Bosnia, the Serbs, Croatia, the breakup of Yugoslavia...

It was preeetty big.

Ouch, way to make me feel stupid >

Ack, I was teasing. D: I actually didn't know much about the war like at all until I got here, either. I only knew somehting about it because my dad's army friend was there at one point... SORRY!
