    Absolutely unrelated, but you mentioned being from Slovenia and it reminds me of a kid I work with (in the US.) When he was 4, I showed him a map of the world. Out of all the places on it, he zeroed in on Slovenia and asked, “What’s that?” I told him, “That’s Slovenia.” Something about your country caught his attention, I can’t explain it.

    The kid’s an information sponge. Ever since then, when I mention things about the rest of the world (countries, flags, time zones, etc.) he becomes curious about Slovenia.

    So yeah, your country has a special place in a random little boy’s heart. I just wanted to share that.

      I hope someone gives that kid some potica. It’s an amazing Slovenian bread made by spreading a nut paste mixture over a large piece of dough which is then rolled up and baked. My Dad is half Slovenian so I grew up eating potica every Christmas.
