ZG calling..

Here, the weather during the Easter holidays was quite cold, so it actually was an effort to take a walk outside. Luckily, had enough time to watch some of my favourite series: Six feet under, Game of Thrones, Sopranos, ..

Made a list of the places where I have to do some academic research - among these is the NSK (Nacionalna Sveucilisna Knjiznica | Nacional and University Library), which is quite huge and impressive. Maybe I’ll take a photo of the place before the library, it is filled with Croatian flags - looks nice, especially when the sun is shining and thereby highlights the strong colours of the flag.

You can take a virtual walk inside:

Not bad, ain’t it?

Had awful dreams, woke up too late and after a fast breakfast rushed to the bus station. Few minutes later, I took a tramvaj (=tram) to the centre and saw some ticket inspectors entered the tram - of course, that reminded me that I forgot to buy tickets! The inspectors slowly came nearer and one almost approches me - when the tram - THANK GOD!! - stopped at a station. So I could get out, prentending to be cool and not caring ..

So .. don’t forget to buy bloody tickets, folks.

BTW, in Zagreb you can also buy tickets by sending a text message to the number 8585 - I would, if I hadn’t left my mobile  phone at home. Typical for days like this.

Arrived and made aquaintance with the notorious Croatian bureaucracy which is as awful and lame as ever. Zagreb, however, is a pleasant surprise - as always..
