Split, Croatia

We heading to Split yesterday. It was about an hour bus ride to the main city. You can catch the ferry there too for the same price and the same amount of time. Split is a big city. Costly. I'm subconsciously looking out for other Asian. Lots of German. It's only 2 hours plane ride for the so it makes sense that they come here. Summer is Croatia high season because majority of the German takes their holiday at the same times. Summer. I forgot what the other season was but for June-August is a crowd.

Split is mainly shopping city. Metropolitan. For the young people, it's has a night life. So far, my nightlife is zero. We left there around 10pm since we saw our ferry. The buses stop running at midnight back to Trogir.

While we were in Split, we met 3 Turkish men going down the church bell tower in the plaza of Split. Within 1 minutes, they asked to take pictures with us. Of course, one common question is "Where are you from?". They don't believe that I'm American. So, I told them that I'm Singaporean. I'm been making up different ethnic just for the heck of it. Everybody here either know Chinese or Japanese. So, I figure if I give them other ethnics that would expand their knowledge base.


While we were heading out of the church, I guess we were in a middle of a wedding ceremony. Croatia wedding ceremony at the most popular tourist church with fireworks, singing, and dancing in the middle of the plaza. I wish I could have taken pictures but due to the fireworks, it was smoky and cloudy. Really fun! That was a great unexpected experience.
