Ljubljana, Slovenia II

I decided to go home earlier than originally planned. I was going to stay an extra day here, but because of off season, I realized that the tours are not running anymore. I could still go on my own taking a buss to different tourist places, but I’d rather go home and relax before the next long trip.

Last night, I went to this restaurant where they server Slovenian traditional food. I was not sure what to order, so I let the waiter pick one for me. He recommended the deer steak. Ok. I haven’t had a deer dish before, so why not. I ordered. Hm… the dish was great with cherry sauce with lots of cherries. But I felt bad or sorry for deer. I have no problem having beef steaks, but deer steaks. When I think about it, deer is much cuter than a cow. They are totally different animals, just the way they are input in my brain. Sorry cows, you are not that cute but tasty.

the atomosphere in Ljubljana is similar to Italy. I’ve been to Austria only once, but Ljubljana has similar architecture to Austria (Ok, I’ve been to only Salzburg). It makes sense though because Slovenia is right next to Italy and Austria. At night, the walk along the river is pretty nice with lights. It kind of reminded me of Amsterdam, but the difference is that Amsterdam has orange or yellowish lights where as in Ljubljana has white lights; Small difference, but it does make some difference as a whole.

A chandelier hanging down from sky in the middle of a square. It lights up at night, too. It’s pretty neat!

One of the things I liked about Slovenia is the people. They treat guests very formally. I cannot speak for the service in restaurants, but certainly at work, I got treated very well. For example, I was asked often if I wanted another cup of coffee. I think it’s pretty nice.

Bye-bye Slovenia. I don’t think I will be back other than for work.
