Super video. Thanks for sharing. I remember when Yugoslavia broke up in the early 90s. It was a mess, but it looks like (at least Slovenia) has bounced back beautifully.

[@vanzz5077]

Well even in Yugoslav times Slovenia was few levels more developed in comparison to other regions with Croatia beeing next. Plus there were no wars on Slovenian territory apart from 10 day skirmish. What you saw in the news about Yugoslavia never really applied to Slovenia.

Oldest building is Bosch House that was built in 1528. Buildings are from eras of Art Noveau, Baroque and Medieval. Ljubljana castle is from 11th and remade in 12th century. Great vistas.

[@mrgreenelander4952]

David reminds me of me, when I traveled solo through Europe back in mid 1981. Back then there was no social media whatsoever. Just magazines of Europe on $10 per day kinda stuff. TV was all in local lingo, no BBC or international channels nadda, nothing. Crazy memories from that time having met some James Bond type personalities. It was the cold war era. But David walking in the rain somehow? brought it all back. The running shoe problem in Budapest? Man I paid US $110 for a pair of Adidas, and that was back in 1981. Walked a million miles through Europe, and the investment was worth it believe me. Love the David

A normal price for two pieces of genuine Bled cream cake in store is 6 €. What you saw there was a very poor, low quality fake that also tastes accordingly.

Ah ok! I don’t feel that bad anymore and the one I ate was very high quality.

[@dreamthedream8929]

Hi David, great video. I have been thinking of visiting Slovenia, have not been. Perhaps this summer, looks like a very natural country with great old architectural. The capital sounds like a city of the size that i would like, not too small and not too big. Huge cities can be overwhelming for many people. Speaking of population and demographics its interesting to note that in colombia this increase in population has been a thing of the more recent times. Starting in the middle of the 20th century the population started to go up quite a bit in some cities in colombia. For example if you would go back to 1950 medellin actually had a similar population to Ljubljana now. Now medellin is similar in size to rome, thats a lot of increase in population! Other cities around the world are more steady in population without such major changes

[@ashabikehf4724]

Slovenia is one of the most beatiful country in the world! Ljubljana is the cleanest city in the world!

Watching your latest European series and I must say, I’m rather enjoying this vlogging style of covering a whole lot of different areas in a single video unlike what most vloggers seem to do these days and that is 20-30min of covering the same area or activity 👍🏻 enjoy both but this is refreshing

In case you didnt know (and I dont think you do) when you go to someones country you attempt to say words like "thank you", "please", "yes and or no" and "Hello" in their language at the very very very least.

[@tamaslukacs3173]

5:20 the system lists the names of the stations. But it is not easy to match the written words with the spoken words. The Hungarian writing style is unique, as is the language. If you don't know it, it will be very difficult. However, I see that the passenger information monitor system is partially working. At the train station, calculate the prices with at least a double multiplier. HUF 550 for a small bottle of water is a lot. 6:10 asset protection warning. The train staff can mostly filter out problematic passengers. However, he can only remove them from the train if they do not have a ticket. If this can be found out before boarding, they will not even be allowed on. The crew of the train coming after them is notified of those deposited in this way, so they can be quite efficient. De ez nem mindig sikerül. Ezért bemondják, hogy vigyázz a dolgaidra.Azokért te felelsz, nem ők. A busz csatlakozás egy vonatot pótolt. Ha jól emlékszem éppen le volt zárva a vasúti pálya javítás miatt. 7:36 Door opening sound signal for the blind. It also sounds when closing. This is a basic thing for the latest type of railcar.

[@user-mh7ek6ud8e]

Made me look up Slavic history... Commonly, Slavs had a flexible lineup of spirits/fairies, not 'deities', as symbols for different aspects of life. For most of them Slavic spirit of love is Lada, not 'Živa'. However, there are no known rules about their names so a spirit or a fairy, which may be a better word for them, may have been called differently in different parts of the ancient European landscapes. Fascinating, our old Europe. Keep travelling!

[@valentintapata2268]

Živa is always referred to as a godess, not a fairy. She is a Slavic godess of life and fertility connected with summer, spring water, sowing and reaping (agriculture). Živa usually holds an apple and a few ears of wheat. Lada is a diferent godess, that of love, matrimony and children.

[@kristjanmatelic6478]

Živa for the West and South Slavs is an epithet of the goddess Mokosh for the East Slavs, not Lada.

[@user-mh7ek6ud8e]

@@kristjanmatelic6478 Thank you for the info. Just note that I did not talk about Mokosh. That is a different goddess to Lada. I merely made a comment on David's word.He said that Živa was a godess/fairy of love. Mokosh, by the way and according to my sources, a Mother Goddess to all other goddesses/fairies, and is the same for the East Slavs. Lada is one step below. Not the same goddess/fairy. I have also discovered that Slavic and German pantheon have the same roots - again, the info came from a history-oriented academic page I was looking at the other day, not from some prick and his garage. History that we do not know, but should, is super fascinating.

[@kristjanmatelic6478]

@@user-mh7ek6ud8e Alpine Slavs/Slovenes/Carantanians were the first Slavic people to accept Christianity from the West. By that time, the Church was so powerful that it did not bother to write down the Rodnovery belief system of the West Slavs (Slovenes are a genetically West Slavic group, but today speak a more South Slavic language), so we don't know much about the gods of Slovenian ancestors. Živa was the most important Goddess for the West Slavic group and Mokosh was the most impotant for the East Slavs.. and also the highest mountain of Slovenia (coat of arms on the flag) is called Triglav, which is also the name of the West Slavic three headed deity, however there is no written evidence that the mountain was named after that god, but you can imagine that the Church was doing everything to erase anything connected to the pagan past.

[@user-mh7ek6ud8e]

@@kristjanmatelic6478 Agree, the church is intentionally destroying, and already has destroyed almost everything of, our past. I personally do not call our history a "pagan" history any more. I am learning how to appreciate it with every day that passes. Our ancient view of the world was then and is today, superior to the current religious hallucinations. Agreeing that the fairies/godessesare just a symbolic, or metaphoric if you wish, description of wonders of the nature around us, living in harmony with the nature is the best thing we could aspire to. Our survival depends on nature's health.
