You guys need to visit Croatia!

[ruthabagah]

This place is amazing! I have been working with a company based in Zagreb for almost 2 years now and was finally able to visit them this week after quick stops in London and Paris. I am enjoying every second of it! The people are great and they all speak English, the food is cheap and amazing, the women are particularly beautiful. I won't have time to experience the coast, but my 2 American buddies living here (both us air force retired) who married Croatian women, swear it's the best place to live for expats.

Bonus point: I visited a "secret" bunker from the Cold War era, buried underneath a park in old Zagreb. The place hosts parties and it's still fully functional. No pics, because you are not allowed to bring a phone in it due to the risk of triggering some demolition charges still embedded in some of the walls....

Mrs BG and I have talked about taking a trip to that part of the world and down into Greece. It's a part of Europe neither of us has been to. Probably won't happen for a while, though.

Sounds like a good time! I have only been as far east as Berlin before the Wall came down.

Have to agree with you Ruth, have been to Zagreb and Split, would love to go again.

Much of Eastern Europe is beautiful (especially for those of us that love Colorado) ... it saddens me to think how wonderful Eastern Europe could have been if the commies never came to power.

Not quite Croatia but close enough:

Spent some time in Eastern Croatia when I was working for Uncle Sam.

It is beautiful. A lot like Germany but more "wild." Yes, the women are very attractive.

This is Eastern Slavonia, near the Croatia/Serbia border. Hopefully they've cleared the mines out since 1998! [panic]

I spent a huge amount of time there from 95-01. Lots of time in Zagreb, Split, Sarajevo and Tazar working for Uncle Sam.

Beautiful country and good food.

One day I would like to return just to see how things have changed.

Yugo in 1986 on a motorcycle was one of my better trips.

[Monky]

Want to bring a few of those women back?

I getting ready to move back to Germany and the Balkans is on my list of places to visit while I am there. My wife has a good friend from Kosovo who keeps asking her to visit. Last time we were in Germany, Czech, Poland and Hungary were some of the best places we visited.

Clearly the earlier statements of quality were significant exaggerations.

You actually go to parties that trust people not to bring cell phones or you might blow up. brave man.

[zteknik]

Yes it is a beautiful place. Spent some time there on deployment.
I really enjoyed the food, local food that is. Reminded me of moms home cooking ;)

Went to the party last night in the bunker.... was the only one without a phone. I guess I was the new guy last night! Flying back today but already planning next year vacations here, even if I have to spend a shit load of money....
