Is it Freaky Friday yet?
I stumbled upon a video of some lovely American ladies sharing their experience with living in Slovenia. Since I happen to be a born and raised Slovenian I decided to watch it and share my input. Some stuff I heard surprised me. What cultural shocks have you experienced, if any?

The stockings thing reminded me of my first time in Germany. I arrived late at night and was offered beer but declined as I was going right to sleep. Upon awakening, my friend's family, including children, were all sitting at the table for breakfast with beer. I was given a beer without asking. I looked at the kids drinking beer for breakfast. I was being pranked because of a preconceived mentality that Germans drank only beer all the time.

What I love about Slovenian is that despite it being such a small country it really still has everything you could possibly want from a country. Slovenian has the mountains with rivers and lakes as well as beaches on the ocean it has small villages but also bigger cities all with lots of rich history there really is nothing at all that this country is missing and because it is that small you never have to travel for eternitys to get from one point to another it really is just a few hours to get from the mountains to the sea or to its beautiful capital by car.

Slovenia is fantastic and even though the country is so small, there are clear regional differences. At my grandmother's house, you always got a lot of polenta, pasta and risotto in addition to potatoes. Something that is fascinating is all the dialects. as a child I mostly spoke Slovene with my grandmother, so when I'm in or around Nova Gorica I still understand what they say reasonably well, but in some other parts of the country i more or less need an interpreter..

I am an American DC who lived in Slovenia in the late 90s in Kranj and practiced with an orthopedic surgeon in his private office. I had a lot of friends there and my American girlfriend and I were the first American couple to be married in the Republic of Slovenia. We were wed at Bled Grad. It was arranged by my great friend Marjan Strukjel. That resulted in the castle beginning weddings there. So I consider Slovenia as my second country. I was very saddened to learn about the floods. Knowing how the villages are located in narrow valleys in Gorenska, I am horrified to think of how they might have been ravaged.

It may be an age thing but my family used to use the phrase, "Tvoje Jajce bo zmrznizale" all the time. And that was gender neutral becuse it could refer to your ovaries or your testes. I've been in Canada for over 47 years so I cannot confirm if that phrase is still used. I don't know about just a piece of paper but sitting on the ground without a blanket, towel or jacket was a big no no. So I think there is some partial truth there.

Slovenia, along with Czech Republic and Poland rank among the top European countries I would want to visit. It's not a coincidence that they all happen to be Slavic nations as I have always been quite enamored with these cultures and people. Their way of life, music, landscapes, and weather just have a way of immersing myself into the childhood stories and games I was always fascinated with. And while a lot of that pertains to Europe in general, there is a distinct aura that surrounds these nations.

I'd say if you're in LA (or a lot of major cities) you don't really have that sense of connectedness to other Americans. But if you're in a rural area there is a very strong sense of being American. When I was a kid in the 90s and early 2000s, there was a much stronger sense of Americans being bound together as well everywhere. That's diminished partly because the Internet has enabled greater international connections and more atomized media consumption. However, there's also a strong sense of self-loathing among many Americans today, particularly in the cities.

These girls were LDS missionaries who had church missions in Slovenia. They would have knocked on a lot of doors. I saw these same two on another KZbin channel. Same video clips. As to the naked men comment, I think that girl probably never actually looked down to confirm the guys were totally naked. She even implied that. Her eyes would be focusing on the guy's face when in doubt I'm sure. When I as an American heard her comment I interpreted it that way because I never in a thousand years would believe Slovenians answer the door naked as a common practice. Both girls were very positive about Slovenia because it is a wonderful country after all!

I really like your video because I have been to Slovenia on holiday. In August 2007 I went there for a week hiking in the JuliaAlps, staying in a mountain village called Kranska Gora.I had a very enjoyable time. I was with a group of people, mostly Brits like me. I found it beautiful, the forests of fir and beech and the very impressive mountains. The Slovenian people I met were very friendly. I visited Lake Bled and Lake Bohinj , both beautiful. While riding a chairlift up one mountain, I was lucky enough to see a Beech Marten crossing a forest track below me. A lovely sight ! I found Slovenia to be a delightful country, and would like to visit it again.

I dreamt we were in a car driving through the Balkans and she was like showing off places and sites and we ended up driving through an old war torn village that looked like some place in Bosnia or Kosovo or something that had been abandoned for many years. Thats all i really remember and yes i too find it a bit strange that some random dude in Wisconsin is dreaming of sight seeing in Europe with a KZbinr.

That sitting on a cold stone / concrete thing must be a universally Slavic thing - down to “catching a wolf” - because this is what my grandma was telling me, and I was born in Poland… Is draught (przeciąg / prepih) also a number one killer of all children, according to Slovenian grandmas? 😊 I think by "no clothes" she means short pants... European shorts for men can be much shorter than the "below the knee" short pants Americans wear and if it is a hot summer in the country, I might totally wear just short pants and nothing else. Americans being as weird about human body as they are might interpret it as "no clothes", because even though they occupy multiple climate zones down to subtropics, they still want to dress as if it was Northern England and it was 3C outside and 16C inside the house. In fact plenty of Americans indeed set the A/C to 66F/19C, rather than just dress more summer-like, even if it is 104F/40C outside. Anyhow, because I am from Northern Poland (Gdansk, as north as it gets, the same latitudes as Denmark), you will not see me wear a lot of clothing when temps hit over 29C, and that is because I already got used to the hot weather here. I had a German neighbour who just moved from Germany to South Carolina and one day in May, when it was only 23C outside and I was still wearing long sleeves, I met him wearing VERY short shorts and a VERY thin undershirt, complaining how incredibly hot the weather is... 😆😆😆 I am sure he was a hit with local ladies... 🤣🤣🤣

Ok, soooo, I really enjoy these videos. I'm from Slovenian roots as my paternal grandfather and grandmother lived in Iska Vas just south of Ljubljana. I have never been to Slovenia but hope to visit in 2024. I must do it sooner than later as I am now in my 75th. year on this planet. I'm having a hard time encouraging my wife to visit. She doesn't like long international flights, but I believe visiting my ancestor's homeland will be worth the effort. Now I must find an affordable local/Slovenian tour guide to accompany us around all parts of Slovenia. I must also be sure to visit Iska Vas for at least 2 half days to see if some of my ancestors still live there.

Sitting on cold ground - yes, we have that in New Zealand - scientifically proven and expounded by various great-aunts to cause ... hemorrhoids. They never mentioned stockings. Didn't have children either. Apparently the husbands-to-be were lost in the war. Some were later found in Australia, but no one talks about that.

I traveled to Slovenia this summer with my family. We had great time. The people were friendly and take pride in lowering pollution. The streets and countryside were absent of trash. Plus my son caught a trophy size Marble Trout.

I live in Slovenia and it is such a beautiful country, I have made some amazing friends. The first village i lived in was very welcoming. BUT the village I live in now is polar opposite! There are many alcoholic older men, who are very verbally aggressive! They walk around in their underwear with belly hanging out 🤮 such a shame to behave like this to a single older woman. Luckily I do have a couple of lovely neighbours. The previous village I was involved in all community activities but here, I now keep to myself.

I think the nakedness is referring to people walking round in minimal clothing in the summer, so topless men and women having bra or bikini top on. no fully naked naked. might be wrong but i think its that.

Home n my add schnapps .. and the people I’ve met have stayed friends and we get together every time I visit .one of my American friends that lives there said if you walk around with no shoes outside you will get sick ( according to the older Slovenes )
