It was like being back for an hour.

Yesterday I searched online and found the address for a place called "Balkan Grille". It's located in a town called Tukwila, which is a somewhat ghetto-ish area a bit south of Seattle. I went. A tiny multi-color building, red blue yellow, all the blinds pulled. I enter, and every Balkan male eye at the bar whips around to see the random blonde

Thats awesome!
The only thing Croatian around me is a church. All the Croatian restaurants and stuff are in another sub-city, which I can't get to cuz I ain't gots no car.

Oh, that's a bummer... Yeah, this one's like 45 minutes away, so chances of me getting there often are slim to none, but at least it's there... Which city do you live in, anyway?

[applechaos]

Toronto, but all the good places are in Missisauga.

your croatian is very good :)

you'll come visit croatia some other time?

[radianreverie]

Hvala lijepo ;)

Oh yes, next summer from June-ish to August, I hope, I'll be back in Croatia. And chances are, you and I will end up meeting again through Jana, pa se vidimo!

[mayah]

you seemed like a really nice girl, 'tho you mostly spoke with jana when we met... you have that nice american smile:)

i think it was brave of you to come here in croatia by yourself, and that this experience will help you in life a lot... being by yourself, helps you grow a lot,and being in forein country makes your horisonts wider. i'm glad you liked it here,and that you'll come again :)
