Hi Kelly-Baby, my dear, my only one 😀

I think you mean the song, which goes: “Dalmacijooo, moja Ruzo prozvala. Dalmacijooo, sva o zlata i biserea, Dalmacijo, tebi pismu pivam ja, pismu ljubavi, s juga i sjevera”?

Am I right?! 🙂

Streetracer – I enjoy Croatian music, but I don’t remember the names of any of the songs. We always try to sing along at Hajduk games to the most popular song that is sung ALL the time, but I don’t remember what it is called. I am sure you know it – It seems to be the song we hear everywhere – at Hajduk games, outside cafes, and at parties.

Hey, very cool to read this. Funny in a way too:)) That’s what’s Croatia like! And I can just imagine how the differences must feel to you if even I do feel them, having in mind that Lithuania is very much a like to Croatia in many ways so I don’t get surprised so often:))

I know your last comment was directed toward mom about extended vacation. Just remember your dad never stated such a statement. I know better. As usual, I enjoy reading your blog. After 39 yrs of working, I look forward for weekends but like my weekend beginning on Friday. Kelly — I think that you will understand my last statement.
Hope everything is going well for you and Jay.

How fun to read about your experiences. As a stay-at-home mom I dont’ have this point of view. I do agree with payment being tricky. You know that store skandal on marmantova? they haven’t paid rent in months and is probably going out of business. 25 days of vacation, wow, back in the States I would have had to be with the company for over 15 years or 20 if that, to have that many. I was going on my 5th year and I was going to get 3 weeks, woohoo!

Ah, the differences sound awesome. I love the amount of vacation days. That’s a huge help when you are living somewhere where it is easy to travel. I bet you still feel bad when you are sick and can’t make it in. I don’t know if that ever goes away. I agree with work is still work. Even traditional artists and gypsy types are like that. You can’t do things day in and out and not need a break. It is part of the human condition to experience new things, to relax, to just be. YOU GET CRAZY CLIET REQUESTS? I didn’t know about these. I NEVER get crazy client requests! Ha.
