What a great vacation! beautiful country! The natural landscape is beautiful, so many historic land marks! A great example to the rest of the former east block, how people can rise up over poverity, and ethnic problems to create wealthy democratic nation.
No, I stayed away from the capital, I toured the safer parts of the country, like Bosnia, Kosovo, ect. As much of a nice country as Yugoslavia is, i'm not going to deny that the capital has a high crime rate.Did you get to see the king? I understand he sometimes opens the windows to his castle and gives a short speech if there's a lot of tourists around - surrounded by bulletproof glass, of coure.
The Yugoslavians were so lucky when the fellow was available to take over as monarch; one of few men all sides could agree on. Seems like they needed something like that after Tito. It wuld have been utter chaos without him. Even the monarchists of this board have to admit it was good that a few countries had gone away from monarchs, so that this man was available from a respected royal family.
That is indead interesting, imagine learning two alphabets in kindergarden!I have an online friend in Ljubljana, she says it's pretty nice over there, but also kinda boring and whatnot. I have a lot of interest in South Slavic stuff.

OOC: WWWWWWHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! This was going so good!I must admit I was a bit sceptical when Charles Windsor was offered throne, but it turned out for good. One must wonder what kind of impact he would make if the Communist hadn't abolished British Monarchy in 1949.

There was nothing to stop him joining the party as an ordinary citizen and make his way up the ranks. A lot of the former nobility did that. Why look how successful citizen Spencer has been in her roll as ambassador to the South Indian Confederation.
