As I was walking around Klagenfurt yesterday and today, I've grown to realize how big the cultural difference is.
People say it's all about the country and the customs, and how you get use to them and how well you implement them. When it comes to Austria, it seems that everyone's on the same page.
People start slowing down when you're still pretty far away from the zebra crossing. They let the pedestrians pass and then slowly keep going, but only once you're on the other side of the street.
In Zagreb - if they even stop - they'll brake hard, then wroom their heads off and then, once you're a centimetre away from the car, they'll skid and zoom away. It's not different countries - it's different worlds!
Not to mention the people who honk. I'd seriously introduce a system by which one gets his license taken away. I've got so many examples, but the worst one is when there's a traffic jam: cars crammed together in three lanes, no one is able to budge, there's dozens of cars in a row and there's one smartass who keeps honking. Like that's gonna change the situation.
He's in a hurry and eager to be Superman, but I'm just in the wrong place at the wrong time and shall thus loose my sense of hearing?
Sod off!
People who honk at girls passing by. At cyclists driving on the lane, as they're supposed to. People like that.
Instant loss of their driver's licence. And then you'll ponder upon your culture and attitude. Fuckers!
I'd wish for a magic stick which would make them take the tests again, along with a programme to fix their courtesy and anger management issues.
Fuck you!

Suosjecam. Isto mi se desilo u Spaniji. Sama na prelazu. Masa auta prolazi. Odjednom svi stadose. Meni upitnik iznad glave. Dok covjek iz najblizeg auta nije signalizirao da predjem, nisam znala sta da radim. Zbunjoza totalna.
