Croatian houses

Many houses in the country side are not finished and the reason behind it is that it is not a necessity. Nevertheless, there are many houses that are being finish now a day, and these houses are very colorful.

To me, it was different looking at all these unfinished houses around the finished ones.

 

One of the first words I learned in Croatian was sutra = tomorrow. The Croatian people are happy people, they have no worries, no rush, everything is sutra.

 To give you one example:

The gardener came on his riding lawn mower to cut the grass that was over a foot high already. He cut half of it and left. At that moment I though he was going home to get something, however, 3 hrs later I asked my host:

 Me: do you know when he is coming back?

Host: in 2 or 3 days

Me: but he is not finish

Host: it is enough work for today, he’ll be back

And that it is the reason that most houses are not finish. They are good to live in, the outside it is not a necessity.

Near the rivers most houses have stork nests on the chimneys or telephone poles, they were so cute…. You cannot see it on the pictures but the stork was feeding her babies….

One more funny thing: as you can see in the photo, the parking lines are for perpendicular parking, however, everybody parks diagonally. 

 

Just different customs that for me were funny but for them is normal. 

Still, beautiful country and hopefully one day I will return.
