Lots of construction in Zagreb

There’s a lot of construction going on in Zagreb. I pass 6 active construction for houses on my 15-min walk from the main street (where the grocery store is) to the top of the hill (where our apartment is). Not only is there a lot of active construction going on, but there’s a lot of stagnant construction as well.

There are many unfinished churches and houses in and around the city. I suppose people run out of money.

Big superstores are gaining a lot of popularity in Zagreb. In comparison to the U.S. these stores resemble regular-sized grocery stores. So from U.S.-standards, they’re not really big, but the normal grocery stores in the city are very, very small. They are often the size of a poorly arranged WaWa, but with less convenience ;)

There’s a big superstore, Kaufland, opening up behind our friend’s apartment in the East part of town. Unfortunately I don’t know what kind of store it is because the website is only in German, but we shall soon find out.

Z’nuff for now.
