im sad bc my country sucks so heres a thread of my culture to make me feel better
/// a
thread
no one cares but idc so



There are a few things i rlly like abt slovenia so letsgo

Kurentovanje - so this is like a annual carnival event to “drive away” winter at the start of spring. Kurenti would swing bells and do a lil dance or smtg. the costume is heavy asf
Jurjevanje - its a event specific for a small region in slovenia, it basically celebrates their culture. the green thingy in the middle is called Zeleni Jurij. He’s like this mythical man who kills dragons and snakes lol
PUST - so in slovenia we dont rlly celebrate halloween buuut in spring we have a lil holiday, idk whats it meaning is but depending in what region u r in it can be scary LOOK AT THAT, THERES A VIDEO ON YT OF IT MOVING ITS CREEPY.
So in the time of pust we also eat this. Its not traditional food (at least i dont think so) but yeah
k so this is Bled lake, its not this pretty irl but its still amazing. A sign of true and lasting love if u get married in that lil church is carrying ur bride up the 100 stairs to the reception
its rlly straight but kinda cute

Slovenia is also v known for this horse breed called Lipicanci. They’re born black then they turn white as they grow . Dont ask me why cuz idk
K so we have a lot of beautiful caves like fr fr, this is škocjan, i was actually in it
its a lot bigger irl and there were lil bats


OKAY BUT POSTOJNA IS AMAZING NOT JUST CUZ THE CAVE IS BEAUTIFUL?? BUT CUZ THERES THIS LIL HUMAN FISHY IN IT, ITS SO CUTE. also u can ride in a lil wagon around the cave wjsjsj
so theres this myth that this fucker is supposed to wave his tail as u walk pass if ur a virgin wnssn
The country is still very much corrupt and un-advanced so yuh thx for coming to my ted talk
