What I’ve been up to
Nothing too exciting, but here’s an update anyway. Thanks to Dinko for the indirect idea of doing this kind of post :)
- Getting official permission to stay in Croatia. Well, it took me 3 days, over 450kn (about $75), a lot of waiting and running around to finally get everything in order with the Croatian government. Gotta love bureaucracy.
- Preparing for the 5K race in Velika Gorica, Croatia. This Sunday I have my first 5K running race in almost 10 years. I used to run a lot and I loved it. Now, I’m very out of shape and I don’t think I will do well. I hope to at least finish and not come in last.
- Playing lots of Bela. It grows on you. Tihana and I will be expert professional players by the time I return to Philly.
- Studying Croatian. I need to do this every day. I try to force myself to read ahead in my books, watch Croatian shows, and do exercises. Now I really need to get that conversational aspect down. I know more than I think I do.
- Visiting Samobor. Last weekend we went with some friends to visit Samobor, a neighboring town. It’s really pretty and not as small as I thought. I want to go back when the weather is nicer to see the old ruins ontop of the hill.
What’s coming up…
- Redoing my site. The age of my site and the ideas of fellow bloggers have inspired me to make some much needed and well overdue changes to my site. And I think I might experiment with free-tagging myself and my stuff :)
- Visiting Venice, Italy. Dinko and I have a trip to Venice in a few weeks. It will be great fun. It’s closer than we thought.
- Visiting Pula, Croatia. Idemo ca! Very exciting. Our friends have offered to take us to Pula for Easter weekend.

Make sure you get to Rovinj when either in Pula or Venice. There are buses from Pula and a ferry from Venice. Absolutely lovely place. It’s in my top three cities of Croatia. So glad to have seen it last year and regret not making it there two years ago.
