[edit] Burek
Regardless of whether bureks are Slovenian or not, the fact is that they are certainly widely available throughout the country (and I recommend the little joint in front of Ljubljana's train station). So please don't delete this... instead, feel free to add 'really' Slovene food.
Now, the Central vs Eastern Europe debate is another thing, I happen to agree with you but please continue the discussion under Talk:Europe before making any changes. Jpatokal 05:47, 16 Nov 2004 (EST)

[edit] Cyrillic and Russian?
Cyrillic alphabet, while it was taught to "middle" generation (parts of Yugoslavia used cyrillic), is not used anywhere, so people have mainly forgot it. Russian language was not taught, and while it is also a slavic language it deviates quite a bit. Some basic words are common (across many slavic languages), but don't expect too much.
So... this info doesn't seem too useful, and can be deceiving.
[edit] Advertisements?
An inside tip would be Adam Ravbar beer, which is usually hard to find anywhere except in their small brewery (located in Domžale, a town about 10 km north of Ljubljana). Is this allowed here? I mean... it's not some very popular beer. Never heard of it until now. OTOH, one can find smaller breweries here and there.
- "Allowed"? It's a free
countrywebsite, and it does say that it's an "inside tip". Jpatokal 12:53, 25 September 2008 (EDT)
[edit] Talking badly about...
"Slovenians also (like many Europeans) don't like American foreign policy, their way of living or habits, so be careful when you discuss European-American relations. Most people lived a good life during the socialist era, so try not talk badly about Cuba, Venezuela or Russia, since Slovenians tend to be pretty sensitive to this subject."
This is somewhat oddly written. I've lived here for 23 years and never got into a heated argument with people about any of those countries. While Slovenes tend to have a better opinion about Russia than for example, Czechs, Poles and other nations which had direct contact with Russia, the vast majority really doesn't have either a very positive or a very negative opinion about Cuba or Venezuela. I think this part of the text is quite unnecessary. 94.127.29.247 14:12, 24 April 2009 (EDT)
- Agreed. Respect sections, unfortunately, tend to attract a lot of silliness. Please feel free to remove/reduce any other silliness you see. --Peter Talk 16:31, 26 April 2009 (EDT)
