[jofa]

I was told that it would be nice to write few words about Croatia. ...wich is my homeland.
will try to keep it short.

Now you probably wonder where the hell is Croatia?
- Croatia or Republic of Croatia is a country in Central Europe and Southeastern Europe. It's settled between Slovenia, Hungary, Serbia, Bosnia & Hercegovina, Montenegro and Italy on oposite side of Adriatic see.

Who live in Croatia.?
- Easy one. Since 7th century Craoatians.

Language?
- Craotian. One of slavistic languages that all sound the same to you, but very diferent to us.

History?
- Just read this if you are interested:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croatia

Climate?
- I live in Zagreb, capitol of Croatia. Zagreb is in continental part of Croatia. Croatia is a mixture of climates, Mediteranian along the coast, Continental on the north, Highland climate in south-centered, Temperate climate in Istria region and Subtropical climte around Palagruza archipelago.
In practise it mean wee have hot summer, and cold winters.

What is Croatia famous for?
- indented Adriatic coast, Tie (originaly called kravata), Turism, History, War, Nikola Tesla, Penkala, Dubrovnik, Amphitheater in Pula, National park’s & Nature park's, Blue sea, gastronomy & enolgy.....

Must see & do by me: Nature park of island Mljet, walk the Dubrovnik walls, Nature park Plitvice falls, Krka falls, see old Zagrab centar, dive at Kornati archipelago, rock climbe in Paklenica, eat food prepared under “pekaâ€

Nice introduction.

I have actually been to Dubrovnik. Very nice city. I love those old cities, with the original walled in cities intact.
