Ljubljana


A quarter of million people live in the the capitol city of Slovenia. It has a medieval heart with some new additions of Roman and Soviet Architecture. But the most obvious attraction is the castle on top of the cities hill.
The Ljubljanica river slopes through the city center and trees on both side make it a beautiful sight. Tourists and locals alike love to sit down in cafes along it.
While waiting for a train, I witnessed  a funny scene. In the morning I saw two guys and one girl sitting in a cafe drinking beer. Obviously they have been drinking all night and now sat along side with working people that ate breakfast. They were playing their own music, drinking more beer and the girl was kissing one fellow like a dog would eat a big chunk of meat. It was apparent that everyone else in the cafe was disturbed and annoyed. The scene went on for some time until the two guys got into a loud argument culminating in bottles thrown, screams and punches. The waiter tried to kick them out, but one guy was already on top of the other one and gave him punches into the face. The girl disappeared. The winner of the fight also walked of, leaving the looser with blood in the face next to the breakfast eating folks. One cigarette later the winner showed up again and walked towards the looser. He helped him up and they shook hands and walked off.
