Very interesting, i didn't know that. But don't tell this the italians.. they go crazy its the same debate between Croats and Italians about the Birth Place of Marco Polo. The croatians say that he was born on Korcula.

a guy opens a thread about austrian-slovene relations, and what does he learn?

- burek is either Bosnian or Turkish
- pizza is from Prekmurje
- our brains are washed-out
- slovene economy is in a terrible shape

[Ronald34]

no problem hofburg.

If you want to bring 2 nations closer, you must first get to know with their culture.

I know both cultures very good

For example the "Oberkrainer" Blasmusik

When i go to Portoroz i drive via Spielfeld and Maribor - Celje - LJ - Postojna - Koper.

Yes, Bonisdorf/Kuzma. I've never crossed the border there, only at the tripoint with Hungary (on foot, of course).

Trubar, Gallus, Prešeren, Grum, Ipavec brothers, Plečnik, Kosovel...


Oberkrain "culture" is just an excuse for getting überdrunk and do stupid stuff and sing stupid songs.

Culture for me is identification with all things belong to the homeland where i live. So in the case of "Volksmusik" Slovenian and Austrians are very similar.

And there are many other things, landscapes, alps, and i personally think that also the mentality between austrians and slovenians is not so far as many people think.

Okay Slovenians are Slavic, but as you know many austrians, which now have "German" Names have slavic routes, and also there are Slovenians with german names (Neuberger, Unger etc.)

I hope i didn't say anything wrong now

And I don't think Slovenes are genetically all that Slavic. I'd say there're many Germanic, Latin (and some (Finno-)Ugric) genes in us.

Ronald34 the reason we are so similiar with austrians is that because we once were living in the same country and then we were heavily germanized by Austria. Sorry for my English.
