Ogromne su razlike zivota u Kanadi i Hrvatskoj i ja, nakon 10 godina provedenih u Kanadi, definitivno smatram da je zivot kuci puno ljepsi i opusteniji i namjeravam se vratit! Mislim da je svakome ljepse gdje je rodjen I pase mu mentalitet na koji je navikao! Gledavsi iz Hrvatske, ljudima se mozda cini da je uvijek bolje negdje vani, al vjerujte nije to bas tako! Nije sve u novcima i zaradi, puno vaznija je kvaliteta zivota I unutarnji mir! Kanadska te opcenito sjevernoamericka kultura zivljenja bitno odudara od nase! Oni na prvu ruku djeluju simpaticnije I uvijek se smiju, al je to sve vise povrsinski I ti nikad neznas njihovo iskreno misljenje, hladniji su i distanciraniji puno! Kod nas uvijek znas na cemu si, jer kazemo sto mislimo i iako mozda djelujemo drsko i ozboljno, mi smo takvi kakvi jesmo, prirodni! Ovo za restorane je stvarno istina i zna biti iritantno za ljude iz nasih krajeva, dolaze svako malo I pitaju jel sve u redu, nemozes na miru ni jest 🤦♀️😝. Al to je njihov mentalitet. U restoranu ili ducanu cesto vode small talks, pa pitaju “ How was your weekend?, What are your plans for the weekend”😂😆, sto je za nas prilicno cudno i to definitivno neisputujes strance koje si tek sreo 🙄😂. Al to sve pitaju tek tako, da ih uopce nezanima vas odgovor! Kad dolaze u goste, nedonose vam nista, a kad vi idete kod njih, morate si puno puta ponijet vlastito pice! Sve je to cudno i tesko se na to priviknuti! Meni definitivno vise odgovara nas stil zivljenja I uzivanja u zivotu! Zime su uzasnooo duge i depresivne! Hrana nema ni priblizno dobar okus, jer je sve zamrznuto i nije svjeze, kruh se neda ni usporedit! Netko moze zivjeti s tim razlikama, ali emotivniji I senzibilniji ljudi se tesko nose s tim! Sve je to od osobe do osobe I adaptacija nije laka! Moja obitelj i ja tu definitivno nismo nasli svoju srecu I gledam ovo kao ogromno iskustvo i vise sada cijenim nas zivot I mentalitet definitivno!
@@robertmakovhrib I to je super. Nismo svi isti! Mene politika nikad nije zanimala, niti se njom bavim! Meni npr. fali moja obitelj, jer smo muz, djeca i ja sami tu, a vrijeme brzo tece I nemozes vratit izgubljeno! Mislim na sve Bozice, Uskrse I rodjendane provedene daleko od obitelji i na mnoge clanove koji su nam preminuli, bez da smo se stigli vidjeti! 😢😒Po meni su te stvari puno bitnije od komfora, novaca i bilo cega materijalnog!
Prije cetrdeset godina dva prijatelja iz Zagreba dobili smo ponudu za posao u Kanadi. Otprilike nakon skoro godinu dana sredili smo sve potrebne doktorske preglede i ostale peripetije dobili potrebne papire i dosli u Kanadu. Slijedci dan na poslu doznali smo detalje koje prije nismo znali i nakon posla pocela je diskusija sto sada. Placa niti blizu onome koje smo ocekivali + porez na to malo. Isto po trgovinama lopovska posla pokazu manju cjenu a onda nadodaju jos i poreze. Znaci racuni uvijek veci nego prikazani. Da se vratimo odmah nazad ili da ipak ostanemo neko vrijeme sa nadom da ce sve biti nesto bolje. Otprilike nakon godinu dana prijatelj se vratio ja nisam. Bio tamo u Hrvatskoj desetak puta u posjeti ali ipak ostao ovdje u Kanadi. To znaci tamo se sve promjenilo a promjenilo i mene ovdje. U mirovini mozda u posjetu ali vracam se ovdje u Kanadu.
Većina toga sto si napisala za kanadu može se precrtati i na švedsku .. jedino sto je meni puno bliže i logistički lakše doći do hrvatske. Nije u soldima sve , i ja sad nakon 5 godina isto gledam da se skrasim na nekom sunčanom otoku i uživam u životu @Anks
mlijeko se i kod nas prodavalo u vrećicama prije devedesete. prije toga postojali su i piramdalni tetrapaci. a kad sam bio vrlo mali i staklene boce koje su se vraćale.
More accurately what is now sold in plastic bottles as fresh milk, with short expiration date, back then was sold in bags, or more rarely in glass bottles. But you had pasteurized milk with long shelf life in Tetra Pack, not all milk was in bags. In fact where I live those bags with fresh milk would always sold out in the morning so if you came later all you could buy was milk in Tetra Pack. As I recall pyramid shape Tetra Pack was very popular in the 80's for some reason.
Yes, we did! Sirela with green letters, my parents cooked it before they gave it to us kids, it had very thick coat on the top from the fat once it was cooked😂
Yes i remember those. Especially when, as a kid, i would put it in those metal shop baskets that sometimes had broken/sharp edges and it would rip the bag just a little so when i get to the cash register it just leaves a mark on the floor or on the counter :)
Where are you getting this disinformation from !!?? That there was not milk, but only in plastic bags, until 90's .. Jeasus christ... Have you been caught with, Kolinda's syndrome perhapse ?
@@RoyalCroatianTours u both have great energy and sarah is amazing i am croatian in netherlands and watching many of ur vids and u always smile and have happy eyes. I am watching now as i eat my medolino in the morning. And no i am not a kid i am 40yrs old grown ass man 😄
Me and my boyfriend (he is croatian) would love to visit Croatia thanks to your videos :) we live in Canada and it would be a nice expirience knowing your background
In Canada:"hey", how are you doing?" Answer:" hey! " Croatia:" hey, how are you doing? " Answer:" oh, not so well my kidneys are killing me, my hearth, my back. I've got this bad urinal problem and I gotta take the sample to the doctor"😂😂😂😂They say all the grose things to you that you dont want to know. You just said hey
I’m living in Germany Kao Hrvat I uzivam vas gledati. Nemogu da vjerujem Kako si brzo I dobro naucila nas jezik skore bez. Naglaska. Na kraju „ brzi zivot“ je strvarvo van Hrvatske. Mi volimo uzivat a to zna biti I nasa mana.
Sviđaju mi se vaša videa i vi kao obitelj. Nekada je i u Hrvatskoj mlijeko bilo u plastičnim vrećicama, samo ste vi mladi pa se toga ne sjećate, a u doba mog djetinjstva tamo 60.godina mlijeko se prodavalo u staklenim bocama. Lijepi vam pozdrav!
As a Croatian Canadian, I love these videos. We visit every summer and it's nice to find Croatian content. So impressed with how you picked up the language.
When I tell people I’m Croatian they say, oh so do you hate Serbia then I say I don’t hate I just don’t like their government and the bombing and Yugoslavian war
Maybe something in the middle would be great - the waiter is there to help out when you need something or want another order of whatever. Totally ignoring or going overboard for a tip can be equally annoying
Nije ni bilo drugog ni drugačijeg mlijeka, tetrapak je došao tek poslije, a te kesice su stale u plavim niskim plastičnim kutijama, "kašetama", aaa koje su uvijek smrdjele jer bi se uvijek neka kesica probila i mlijeko bi kapalo, odatle onaj dio texsta o kapanju po nozi, grupe, Daleka Obala u pjesmi "Boginja" 😁
@@jurejuric1439 To nije istina. Ja sam odrastao u 80tima i tetrapak je bio posvuda. ""U Jugoslaviji je od 1967. godine počela proizvodnja tetra-pak, a nekoliko godina kasnije i tetra-brik ambalaže." "Danas (1986.) se u industriji mleka Jugoslavije utroši oko 8.000 tona tetra-pak i tetra-brik ambalažnih materijala za pakovanje mleka i proizvoda od mleka." Citati su iz ovoga: Praktični problemi u korišćenju tetra-pak i tetra-brik ambalažnih materijala u mlekarskoj industriji Jugoslavije* Dušan MARKOVIC, dipl. inž., Ivan MADAREVlC, dipl. inž.
@@slavkopejic3140 Ja sam tetrapak mlijeko u mom lokalnom dućanu prvi put vidio mislim negdje početkom 80-ih godina, ili krajem 70-tih, za mlijeko u plastičnom vrećicama pisao sam u vrijeme od početka 70-tih pa do početka 80-tih, tada su se počele pojavljivati tetrapak mlijeko i jogurt u pakovanjima od pola litre trokutastog oblika, prije toga u Splitu toga nije bilo, garantiram, tadašnji sok "Dvojni C" koji je bio jedini tako pakovan a da si ga mogao ponijeti na izlet, bio je u pakovanju od nekakvog mekog aluminija, ali to nije bio tetrapak, popiješ, napušeš i skočiš na njega, sve curice vrisnu, BUUM! 😁 Ako je to i bio nekakav Tetrapak, to ona nije bila tehnologija kakva je danas standard.... aaaa što je tadašnja štampa sve pisala, to zbilja ne želim ni komentirati.....
@@jurejuric1439 A pardon, posto ste odgovarali na post u kojem pise "nekada do kraja 80-tih godina" i rekli da je tetrapak dosao kasnije tesko mi je bilo zakljuciti da u stvari mislite na rane 80te. Ako nema kartona nije tetrapak. Znaci dvojni c i sl. sokovi na slamku ili npr. oni Fructalovi sokovi od litre, sto su se u kutevima otvarali, nisu u tetrepak ambalazi. Sjecam se piramidalnih pakovanja, no bilo je i kockastih kroz cijele 80te. Stovise ovo svjeze mlijeko u vrecicama bi se ujutro rasprodalo pa popodne ne bi bilo druge opcije nego kupiti trajno mlijeko u tetrapaku.
@@slavkopejic3140 Daaa doista je bilo tako, poslije 80-te i dalje, stariji ljudi su rano ujutro kupovali mlijeko u vrećicama jer je bilo jeftinije, puuuno jeftinije, ali ja sam mislio na vrijeme kada je bilo samo mlijeko u vrećicama, (kesama), dakle kraj 60-tih i cijele 70-te. U doba kada se je Mesni narezak rezao poput salame a bio je pakovan u velikim metalnim konzervama a mirisao je koooo nešto predivno, ha ha ha, u vrijeme kada se je pašteta kupovala na grame i kada su se hrenovke prodavale u metalnoj konzervi i imale su okus mesa.... a ne soje! 😁👌
Hi I recently found your Channel and already bingewatched almost all of your videos. I just love Croatia and visiting the country. Can you maybe make a video about the Yugoslav Wars especially in Croatia? When i visited the last time i saw several maps of the citys and what was destroyed by the bombardment and i wanted to know more. Maybe you can include Dida as a witness? P.S. Keep up the great work. I love your videos :)
This is such a heavy topic here still, that unless you are very familiar about the person only then will you ask it: Even then, it can be though to ask. My grandpa took his war stories to his grave. Some of my uncles and neighbours spoke a bit about the time in the war, women are a bit more open about hardships of raising us in the basements, with limited supplies, etc. It is a trigger for many so we learned not to ask too much. I know my reply is a probably too late, but just in case someone else stumbles upon the comment...Museums in the war torn areas are your best bet for learning more about it. They either have an entire museum/memorial centre about it or there are specific displays about war in the area. I wouldn't count on personal testimonies too much.
@@TheLnGirl Well i think there is no too late :) thanks for your answer. It's been a time now since I visited croatia. I was there in 2019 before Corona. Hope I can visit croatia soon again :) I will definitely go to visit a few museums then.
You two are so cute! 💗 from California, USA. Just for my curiosity, I used to work with someone who immigrated here from Croatia. He was one of the founding members of "Bisera," the rock group started in the 1960's...one song was "Anuska," I believe. Do you know how major of a group Biseri was in the former Yugoslavia? Thank you in advance. 💗💗💗
biseri means pearls...there are some ethno bands and group bearing the name but i have never heard of it as a rock group...and i am 40y old so i would know about it cause i love ex yu rock music....cheers from croatia
Možda Ivan ne zna jer je mlad, ali nekad se u istim takvim vrećicama kupovalo mlijeko za vrijeme Jugoslavije, ja sam '78.godište i sjećam se takvih pakiranja mlijeka kao dijete
After this video I want to marry Canadian woman. The only thing I don't know is what I would do with my Croatian wife, with whom I have been married for 15 years :)
ja sam 82...mislim da je mlijeko bilo u vrecicama do 92.onda je dosao tetrapak......onaj koji si prstima rastvorila kutiju pa stisnula karton.....a kad si ga trebala zatvorit onda sa kvacicom krokodilkom
Ivan, you are probably too young, but bags were completely normal for milk in Croatia in the 70s and 80s. It was raw milk and had to be boiled before use. :)
BC doesn't have milk in bags, this might be a eastern Canada thing.I think there are lots of differences between the west and east coast. Vancouver is very similar to the Rijeka/Zadar climate.
Really nice and fun video 👍🏻 I wanted to suggest few vids back that you guys talk about Canada/North America (probably most viewers are Croats and they are interested). Maybe some "interview" from Sarah's family member or friend from Canada. And maybe one day you guys will shoot video(s) from canadian National parks, forrests etc. We know that Canada has beautiful nature etc. 😉
Part of our Sunday morning in Aus is eating breakfast and watching your video. The wholesome corner of RU-vid. Hopefully you will make a video about why you decided to raise your family in Croatia. It seems that Canada and Australia are quite similar so I think I already understand why, as I would have done the same.
I’d love to watch a video on why you decided to live and grow a family in Croatia vs Canada. What it’s like living in Croatia and raising a family there. 😊
Sarah,everytime i see your husband he reminds me on football player Milan Badelj,look him up and tell me if that aint hes long lost brother or something xD
😲😲😲 I just looked him up, and oh my goodness, that first photo on Google is identical! That's hilarious!!! He's definitely gotta be some distant relative!!
Um ... yes. We used bagged milk here a long time ago in Zagreb. We called them “žlundra” (a tough piece of meat that can’t be chewed). As an offset machinist in a printing house, we received a liter of milk per person for free in the "žlundra" every day during the "gablec". I drank it in hectoliters in my life ;-))
Imali smo u Jugoslaviji mlijeko u vrećicama. Sviježe mlijeko i stavljalo se u plastični stalak. Jako slično ovome. :) Dukatovo mlijeko je to bilo. Samo ukucajte Mlijeko u vrećicama SFRJ i vidjet ćete slike
Nice video idea, showing the other way. Am assuming Ivan loves my home city Burlington. Its not as good as Zagreb, Karlovac and Sveti Martin but the best in Canada at least ;)
Canadian winter when is up to - 10 was my favorite thing. You can walk around without hat and gloves with unzipped jacket . I could survive Canadian winters because of moments like that when in few days temperature is tolerable and not always -30 or -40
😁😁😁 Mujo moved from BiH to Canada and started keeping a diary ... August 12. We moved into our new house in Canada. I'm so excited! It's so beautiful here! The mountains are beautiful. I can’t wait to see them covered in snow! October 14. Canada. It is the most beautiful country in the world! The leaves took on all those wonderful shades of yellow and orange. I drove through nature and saw a couple of deer. They are so graceful! These are the most beautiful animals in the world! This must be heaven. I love Canada. November 11. Remembrance Day (Canadian public holiday). Deer hunting will begin soon. I can't imagine anyone killing such a wonderful animal. I hope it snows soon! It's so wonderful. December 2. The first snow fell tonight. I got up and saw everything covered with a white blanket. It looks like the most beautiful postcard! We went outside, cleaned the stairs and the driveway and then huddled (I won!). When the rake passed we had to clean the gate again. What a wonderful country! I love Canada! December 12. It's snowing again tonight. The rake passed again and buried the gate. It's really beautiful here! December 19. Snow again tonight !! I couldn’t get the car to go to work. It’s really wonderful here, I’m just a little tired of shoveling. F**k rake again! December 22. This white shit was falling all night again. Got blisters from shoveling and my back hurts. This monkey with a rake seems to be hiding behind a corner and just waiting for me to clean in front of the gate. Idiot! December 25. HAPPY CHRISTMAS! A little more shitty snow. If I ever like the hand of this monkey driving a rake - I'll kill him! It bothers them that they don't sprinkle more salt on the road so that it melts sooner. December 27. It's snowing again tonight. I haven't been out for three days except clearing the snow whenever the rake passes. I can't go anywhere, the car is stuck in a snow hill in front of the gate. And it's cold! They say that another 30 centimeters of this shit will fall tonight. December 28. The prognosis was bad. It fell half a meter. If it continues like this, it won’t thaw until summer. The rake got stuck and that hoof came to me looking for a shovel. I told him I had already broken six shovels by cleaning that shit off the door he had loaded and I almost broke it off his head. January 4. I finally got out of the house! I went to the store to buy some food and when I came back I hit the deer with the car. $ 3,000 car damage. Those monsters need to be killed. They are everywhere! Why didn't the hunters kill them all this fall ?! May 3 I drove the car to the mechanic. It's amazing how rusty they are from the F**** salt they sprinkle everywhere. May 10 I'm moving to Florida !!!!! I've had enough! I can't imagine how someone normal can live in that F***** Canada. 😁😁😁
@@oskng hmmm ja se toga ne sjećam, a imam podosta godina, bilo kako bilo, tema me zaintrigirala i pitao sam mamu koja ima 80 godina, ona kaže: U Splitu je bilo zelenih i plavih kesica mlijeka , plave su bile pasterizirane a zelene nisu, nikad nisi znao koje će mlijeko ujutro stići u dućan, nekad jedno a nekad drugo iznimno obje vrste, mama kaže da je bilo i mlijeka u boci, ali si morao vratiti bocu za uzet drugu, rijetko se ko" htio sa tim zahebavat, pa su svi uglavnom uzimali kesice....
A question for north americans- can you ask your server to not come to your table for the next 30 minutes for example? Or until you wave them? Or sort of negotiate half an hour of piece without it being rude? Would that be weird?
what is not mentioned is that that visit of your waiter serves a specific purpose. if you receive your food and you're NOT satisfied with initial presentation or first bites you can RETURN the food, no Qs asked and replace it for a different thing from the menue. after that visit it gets harder and more complicated if the restaurant is busy.
@@optionmaster221 really? That would be considered very very rude in Europe if you did it just because you didn't like what you ordered. Here when you return food it is usually because something is wrong. Maybe meat is undercooked, or overcooked or too salty or you find some weird stuff on your plate. And usually the waiter will apologize a lot and not charge you the food of course. Sometimes even the chef might come out if something was seriously wrong with the food. And everyone is very embarassed. On the other hand I can see how it can be very convenient to be able to return food if you ordered something and changed your mind or just didn't like the food, it would have definitely saved me some regret. I guess it comes down to not wasting food in general and just being less wasteful with everything. I haven't been to America or Canada but I have feeling that that is what people mean when they say "consumerism", the fact that you are using a lot of everything and throwing it away after. Food, electrical energy, water, plastic, oil, clothes, electronics, garbage... I might be wrong but I feel like returning your order seems like an extension of this mindset. Everything is expandable. But then it might be a phrase that everyone says but in reality it might not be like that. Who knows, I will find out if I ever visit :)
I was born in Croatia and moved to Canada when I was 5, and I've only ever visited Croatia in the summer, so I don't remember what winters are like. Hearing that winter in Croatia is done by February is music to my ears. I wish that were the case in the GTA.
@@richard_from_england333 still better than snow in May in Canada. I've seen pictures of flowers in full bloom in March/April in England. Lucky Brits 🙂
You would be surprised, but in Osijek (largest city in eastern part of Croatia - Slavonia) you have Drive-through Pharmacy. I was surprised when I saw it for the first time, few years ago, but yeah... it's there :-)
Pozdrav Sara! Ovdje u Križevcima je od 3.9.-6.9. Križevačko spravišće! Mislim da biste trebali doći malo posjetiti! :D Ako budete dolazili mislim da je najbolje za vikend! 😁
During the war we had that kind of milk in the bags but it was just milk powder mixed with water. Because it was less expensive and less wasteful during those difficult times.
Darko Ivan je mladi Hrvat koji se malo i nikako ne sjeća bivše države SFRJ ali mi koji smo malo stariji ce sjećamo da je i tada kod nas mlijeko svježe bilo pakovano u plastićnim vrećicama tako da mni nije ćudno što i danas u Kanadi ima mlijeka pakovanog u takovu ambalažu.
They still do milk bags in Canada? Never seen that here in the US. I had seen that when vitising YU when I was a kid. As I grew up it seems coffee cups on this side of the Atlantic have kept growing in size. I got a cup of coffee at a Dunkin Donuts drive-thru the other day, got an XL, which is 24 oz, or 680mL 😂
But he means sitting down and having the coffee, not take away. Take away is not a thing in croatia at all. Food maybe in the last 15 years, but definitely not take away coffee
So... I'm from Varaždin and I have a friend who's from Zadar. The first time I was in Zadar visiting, we got out of his apartment (that's situated on the tip of the peninsula, some 100m from the sea organ) and to the start/end of the main street on the peninsula, the Kalelarga and he said to me: OK... we're meeting a friend for coffee in a cafe, we have to be there in 30 minutes, OK? I said... yeah, sure... how far is it? And he said: about 500m. After some exchanged looks he continued: don't make me drag you down! We have to walk there at a pace so we get there as agreed. I started singing Eddy Grant's "California style" but changed it to "Kalelarga style"... he thought I was nuts 'cause I sang it almost all the way and MANY times since, every time we walked the Kalelarga... because that's how you walk the Kalelarga... summer time.
Another great video. Here are some differences I would like to add: 1) everyone is a larger size (hence the need for SUVs, large coffees & meal portions),....2) the way people dress to go outside (lack of style (PJs are ok to go to the bank) while in Croatia you don't go to your curb without makeup & heels....3)in Canada when you enter a store, you are greeted "hi how are you?" but that's it, while in Croatia, as soon as you enter, you haven't even seen the entire selection at the deli counter or where you have to order,and the person asks "Izvolte" and seems frustrated if you ask to "just look first".....4) refunds at stores. Here this is the norm, slowly very slowly it's beginning in Croatia but not yet the norm. I remember while we were on a Disney Cruise 14 day across the Atlantic, there was a Croatian working in the gift shop (lots of croatians work on cruise ships). During the last night on the cruise, I came to this gift shop Croatian employee with my new purchases I made within the 13 days on the cruise hoping to bring them home as gifts, but because they couldn't fit in my luggage, I asked her for a refund. Up until now, we chatted everyday but this time, she was so frustrated and said "You Americans (Canadians)---why do you buy when you want to return the items? and said other things in frustration. This shocked me that she had this attitude......5)"price matching" in Canada at grocery stores....While in Makarska I asked if there was price matching because Konzum offered the same item as the store I was in (not Konzum) a lower price...."can you price match?" They laughed and said "No way, go to Konzum and get it"...6)Parents in Canada feed their families packaged, prepared foods (anything quick) instead of cooking. Cooking is not the norm here...as quick meals are the priority instead of healthy meals.....7) rein checks at grocery and electronic stores for sale items....if something is on sale, and out of stock, a grocery store will issue a rein check valid for 14 days or 30 days so that you can get it for the sale price when it is in stock again......8)pizzas at most pizza places in Canada are not tasty but made with shortcuts and additives; Pizza is eaten (even if the piece of pizza is enormous) with our hands, while in Croatia it is tasty and with knife & fork/personal pizzas....9) Canadian grocery is not as delicious as in Croatia---for example, a tomato, an egg, bread, a chicken or veal, all taste almost plastic or tasteless here......9) you don't see children walking anywhere outside by themselves here in Canada. Every time we visited Croatia during summers, I was sure to send my daughter to the Konzum with a list of things to buy & money to teach independence. She went alone. Here? That's a huge no no, and frankly, children lose a lot when not given responsibilites and to go alone to the store, to visit a friend, etc......10)kids don't play outside in Canada during summers...where are they? This is one of the reasons we went to Croatia every summer since my daughter turned 4......11)there isn't the same respect for police officers in Canada as there is in Croatia......12) there is more theft in Canada---especially auto theft from people's homes, from stores,.....13) in grocery stores, our produce is written in "per pound" while at the cashier, you pay in "per kilogram". I have always asked why is this like this? Some stores are considerate and write both prices at the fruit & vegetable area, but most don't....why they do this, nobody knows, nobody can tell me as I ask managers, workers, everyone...how do we know we are paying the sale price for the item when it's in another unit? (so frustrating).......14) calling call centers (for internet, tv, phone, airline) you call by phone and someone in a 3rd country (India, Philippines,etc) answers the phone---Canada is not hiring its own people for the call centers......15)at the airport you are expected to arrive 3-4 hours before your flight if flying to the US or International, while in Zagreb, Split, Dubrovnik you just arrive 45min before and you are fine......16) during Covid (August 2020), we travelled on 3 airlines in one day with a HUGE difference in service: Croatia Airlines, LOT airlines then Air Canada. Both Croatia Airlines and LOT airlines had full service during the flights, with flight attendants polite and masked. Air Canada? The flight attendants stood in front while we were all seated, and threw us bags to catch in the air across the entire airplane (there were only 10 passengers, but still), as if we were playing baseball because they didn't want to catch Covid, and weren't require to do any work/service during the 6 hour flight from Toronto to Los Angeles. We didn't see them at all after the throwing of the tiny bag. What was in the bag? Mask, water bottle, hand sanitizer in a clear bag. No service, no flight attendants in sight for 6 hours. 17) Anyone who comes to visit, is shocked at what they actually see life is like here----very boring and monotonous that "no wonder one gains weight from the stress here" Yes, there is stress in Croatia, but it's different. 18) If you have money in Canada, you don't show you have it most times while in Croatia, even if you don't have money, you still manage to buy the latest fashions and look perfect. .....19) smoking: hardly anyone smokes here while in Croatia it's not frowned upon.....20) Emergency Room in Hospitals: In Canada you wait 12-18 hours to be seen, and treated as a patient while in Croatia, when I broke my leg, and was taken to Karlovac hospital, I was seen immediately. They even took an Xray immediately. In and out in an hour with a cast on my leg while in Canada I would wait hours hours hours. 21) donations---every time you check out at a cashier at grocery stores or Costco, you are asked if you want to donate to the hospital fund, to animal shelters, to this and that. ......22) our cars are all being eaten by salt ---they put too much salt on our roads for 5 months winter (Nov-April) of the year, and if you don't wash your car everyday the salt begins to eat away your vehicle.....23) we celebrate Christmas, and Easter with national holidays for all religions, but not everyone celebrates. We also have a day or two off for Government workers on Remembrance (Veterans') Day, but most people don't know why they have so many days off.....24) Everyone in Canada says "Excuse Me" or "Sorry" even if they didn't do anything to justify the need to say this.....25) when you purchase produce in grocery stores, you rarely know where it is from (if written it is in tiny tiny letters)......26) We don't have tellers in banks or government offices including post offices with plexiglass shields (excluding Covid). Also our bank doors open freely in and out, while in Croatia it is a timed release. These timed release doors should be in Canada as well...........27) in Canada everyone lines up naturally for everything, there isn't any swarming for items........28) you will never see anything for free on holidays as in Croatia when they serve fish for the community, or bean stew.....in Canada that is unheard of............29) coupons in grocery stores, and McDonalds points cards for free coffees in Canada......30) Credit Rating extremely important and taken seriously in Canada for paying bills on time, to obtain a mortgage for a house......31) in Canada most homes are bought with a mortgage as a first time buyer and not through inheritance as in Croatia.....There are so many more examples of Canada is different but this is enough

KFC has a drive through at Plodine near Most Mladosti in New Zagreb. Very slow and disorganized compared to McD, at least when I've been there. Also RBA has several bank locations with what they call "drive-in šalter". RBA Siget has one.

As a Canadian, I haven't seen bagged milk for sale in decades. Also, it never snows in May. I'm in shorts starting in mid-April. Thanks for not calling it ice hockey!
@@chrishanzek8930 I totally understand you buddy! To call American football by another name, simply because it is played much more with the foot than, let's say, European football, would be ridiculous ... wait a second ... ah! Nevermind! For the same reason, we in Europe call it Ice hockey (or in Croatian "Hokej na ledu") to be different from... some other hockey. 😂
