It Is Not How It Seems



When you speak with people, actually you can never be sure
when a person in front of you is telling the truth and isn’t making something up. It can seem nice that people, who you ask, always will answer you and try to help you even when you aren't asking. Last days it is clearly seen when asking for some help or getting some information. When you ask for some direction, usually you get some advice where to go, ask someone else or a simple answer that the person you asked doesn’t know.
A bright example from other culture was from a bus driver.
You think that his profession is the one that surely should tell you the right direction where you want to get? You are wrong. Even asking a simple question like how to get to the center he can tell you exactly the opposite direction. Not even mentioning the people who simply don’t know how to get there or where the place is, but always answers to the question like they know. You ask a restaurant worker where some club in his building is and you already believe that he knows. When you go just 50 meters further, you see that there isn’t that place. Asking the same question to the fast food worker it is said that the club has big sign. She mentions that she is not sure, but still she says that going from another side this sign is clearly seen. Later you can find out that this club has another sign and it isn’t big.
Even the International Office worker, who has the duty to help as it turned out forgot to give instructions about one place and next time you went there, looked like you are stupid and forget to read the instructions. Even when you said that there weren’t any given, she looked like you are stupid. After that disdainful look , she said that you can deal with it today. After walking aeound the city and killling the time for a few fours until the opening hours, it turns out that the place isn’t even open this day.
The lesson is that you cannot trust anyone and think on your own, because you are on you own and actually you will help only the ones, who know how it is to be in such position and how it is to fail and be pushed away.

The Taste of Childhood

Image
For me personally, the most nostalgic time was when my childhood memories were formed. It was from the early to late 90’s. The previous century had a special taste, which was for children mainly based on different sweets which were hard to resist. Sweets are often a nostalgic piece of memory and although you can’t get back to the time that’s already passed, you can reminisce by treating yourself to a piece of candy or sharing it with other people who might be interested in it. It’s also easy to compare what’s available on the market nowadays as opposed to what was available when I was a child. Despite the fact that Latvia got its independence from USSR in 1991, things that were available on the market were mainly made in Russia or by Russian recipe. It took a couple of years until more and more sweets came from the West. A similar situation was also present in Slovenia, which got its independence from Yugoslavia in 1991 and it took years from that point for sweets from other parts ...

Dress Code and Attire in Slovenia

Image
When you live in a foreign country, it’s only natural to pay attention to how people look (the way they carry themselves, how they dress, etc.), so in this article I will discuss the dress code(s) and attire in Slovenia. Slovenians are similar to other Europeans in how they dress. A lot of people read press which spreads the western beauty and fashion standards - women like Vogue, Glamour, People, Life & Style, Cosmopolitan and men usually opt for FHM, GQ, Men’s Fitness . The Western influence is present in markets, stores as well as in other places where clothes are sold. Besides the influence from the West, also the climate, history and the activities people do have impacted the way Slovenians dress. Slovenia is located in the Central Europe, where the climate is quite warm. The Alps and the Adriatic Sea play a big role in setting the climate, which differs from region to region. At the seaside, there is the sub-Mediterranean climate, and there is the Alpine climate in the ...

In Memoriam: Uroš Mozetič

Image
Uroš Mozetič: Ko sem prepeval vstopne molitve Na koncu časov, na podaljšku sence senc, ko ne bomo govorili več o smrti, ne da bi premišljali o življenju, kdo bo sploh še pesnik? Razširjeno metaforo bo pogoltnil živi pesek bolečine. Prihajala si, komaj sem te videl: hodila si med kapljami dežja. Govorila si kot ta, ki objokuje smrt usode. Ko bi ljubil ti nebo tako, kot sem jaz ljubila dež, bi bil še zmeraj najin prostor brez spola in števila, ki se prazni? Tebe, to že vem, vznemirja skupni vrt, vklesan v štiri vrste kamnov. Namakajo ga štiri vode. (Kot veličastva očakov na dolgem oblačilu, kjer bo nekoč počival svet.) Na koncu časov. Ne boš se sprehajal po njem, če ne prešteješ zrn peska in pesek ure se v tebi ne ustavi. Globino sebe boš izmeril skozi štiri vode. Spočiješ se na štirih kamnih. In ko boš rekel: Vzemi to telo in mi ga vrni, ko ga bom resnično vreden, bom prinesla prvo vedro. Noč za nočjo, trikrat zapored, žalosten boš, ker boš izgubljal žalost. Žarek tème ti bo osušil ...
