34 topicals about Slovenia :-)

Lo he encontrado en un blog en internet, es muy gracioso. Son una serie de mitos acerca de los eslovenos. Siempre un poco exagerado eh? (varias frases sobre el alcohol) Y que conste que el autor es un esloveno! :) No se me ofenda nadie, por favor!

I have found it in a blog, and it's very funny. They are a list of topics about slovene. A little exaggerated, but it has something of true :-) A Slovene is its author, I took it from here.

21. The majority of your friends are also your relatives, even if they aren't your relatives; because you refer to their parents as "teta" and "stric”.

34. You're still laughing your ritka off because you know every single one of these are true.

One of the topics...

Yo creo que en algunos puntos se han pasado y es un poco exagerado...Pero bueno, la verdad es que si redactasemos la lista de topicos españoles tendríamos para dar y tomar y seguramente no exageraríamos...!!!


Y por ejemplo, lo del vegetarianismo creo que no es nada cierto. Yo no soy vegetariana, pero lo cierto es que la comida de este tipo en Eslovenia es bastante más accesible que por ejemplo aquí en España. Para empezar, el tofu de soja vale como una cuarta parte de su precio español.

**********************

I think many of the points are exaggerated...But, well,actually the spanish topic list would be longer and probably we wouldnt exaggerate anything!

And what about vegetarianism. I think it isnt true at all. Im not vegetarian, but certainly this kind of food in Slovenia is more accesible than in Spain. Firstl, soja tofu costs in Spain four times more that in Slovenia.
