- Buying conditioner is a small task in Slovenia.....You'd THINK it would be beside the "sampon" right? Well NO that's too easy.... the "Balsam" is located with the body lotion as a hair mask...But here's the fun part...You totally get tricked on your way in BECAUSE you are shown a pack of two together and you THINK you are getting a Sampon and a Balsam but to your surprise you are get two flippin sampons!!!! Ahhh so now I am stuck with 7 bottles of sampons and no balsam.... AND to top it off...Jamie has banned me from buying anymore hair products till the end of the year seeing as I never bring home what I need. If anyone wants to throw me some Balsam...I clearly won't be mad.
- NEVER order hot chocolate in Slovenia/ I am guessing in all of Europe because you will literally get 8 melted chocolate bars (small heart attack) in a mug...NOW if you are a chocolate lover, power to you! The Sloves call our Canadian hot chocolate "Cocoa". Jame and I have learned this the hard way more than once on our late night strolls downtown. Its SO upsetting.
- Soup is not sold in a can. I was beginning to think they just didn't eat soup here... that was UNTIL I found the aisle filled with little packs I thought were packaged spices....The only downfall to this IS...I can't read the instructions. So... I just find the numbers and hope they mean add that much water. So far so good...small pro.
- Dryers and Microwaves are not mandatory. I have become an oven heating stove top PRO! I mean its super annoying BUT I am no longer afraid of putting tin foil in the oven!! As for dryers... our landlord told us our washer was also a dryer....well....turns out its not because i've literally tried everything....So we bought a huge trying rack instead....before I got introduced to conditioner, you could actually get a sand paper scrub with my crunchy towels!!!!
- Washers do not have cold water..unless mine does and I just don't know...So seeing as the water is boiling hot...I've made a few mishaps in the laundry/bathroom.
- Tipping really is a Canadian/ American thing...they don't even give you the option when you use a card so you awkwardly have to tell them you have no change to tip them....
- Red warm wine is probably the best thing that's ever existed next to KEBABS...for those of you who haven't had a kebab I can even explain how heavenly they are.... Jamie and I go for kebabs at least once a week...pretty much a gyro but 1000 times better.
- Patios stay open in the winter!!!!! Almost every bar in Slove has little blankets and heaters on their patios so they stay open all year around....is there anything better? Oh ya....hot wine.
- I really miss Franks Red hot sauce :(
- I have a small crush on Slovenia....
Heres of few Slovenian words I have learned/ will throw out in a jumble together if I've had a few drinks...
Hvala = Thank you ( pronounced VALA)
Prossim= Welcome, Your welcome/ they use this one a lot I think it has a million meanings...
Dobro= Good
Dabo dan= Good afternoon ( pronounced DABERDUNG...I swear thats how I hear it)
Juio= Hello
Pivot= Beer
Opprosti= Sorry
I'm sure theres tons more stuff but I'll keep it at that....come visit, we can chat about it more!!!!!!!
