travel woes

[abka]

Gah I am stressed about this :( I'm getting a little homesick despite having some nice days here. A couple days ago Slavica and I went to Bundek, a park in town. The next day I wandered around by myself (which was really nice). I sat in a park, read a book in a cafe, went to the 19th-20th c. art museum, and met up with a friend (Zeljko). It was really relaxing. Yesterday I hung out at my BIL's again. They had finished s. 2 of Flashpoint (but gave me the rest of the eps) so we watched movies: Transporter 3 (I will watch anything with Jason Statham no matter how bad--like Crank, this was definitely worse than Transporter 1 and 2 which were pretty entertaining), and Wolverine (which was interrupted by hearing from D. about travel suckage). Today I think Slavica and I are going to see my SIL at work (she works at a bakery) and then swimming? I think? My comprehension's getting better but it's still hard when they talk really fast. Last night Slavica stayed at my MIL's and tonight I'm staying at my BIL's (like a big extended sleep over :) )

Oh Zeljko tipped me off to a great firefox add-on that will show me the croatian dictionary entry for any english word and the english definition to any croatian word that I hover the mouse over. It's really cool.

Also I had forgotten that people still wear fanny packs in Croatia! I saw several in the last couple days, one on a woman directing traffic (so an official fanny pack?), one on a young guy (it was black but looked like would expect), and then a more fashion-y one on a woman (like a clutch and a skinny belt were melded together).
