i’m 28!
“it’s my party
and i’ll cry if i want to
cry if i want to
cry if i want to
you would cry too
if it happened to you!”
this song has been stuck in my head the whole day. it’s the same thing year after year: i only remember it on my birthday! :)
this sounds strange, but i’ve actually been telling people i’m 28 for a whole year already… my brain somehow didn’t get used to 27, and skipped ahead. i didn’t mind. 28 sounded better than 27, the way even numbers always seem to. very chinese, now that i think about it!
anyway, to do something different today, we drove to murska sobota and had gibanica, slovenia’s national cake, disguised as a birthday cake. it’s quite heavy, but i enjoy the mixture of flavours:
and as you can see, i got a drawing tablet from paulo as a bday present, and put it to good use already! :)
the julian alps, around kranjska gora, and through the vršič pass.

if it was my home (country)
ifitwasmyhome.com is a little google maps mashup that lets you visualize the bp oil spill by superimposing it on your current location.
these things are always tricky to visualise, for lack of reference points, but this map shows a very concrete term of comparison: slovenia. the whole of slovenia is engulfed in that stain (plus big chunks of italy, austria and croatia).
for us living here, and exploring this country, it surely puts things in perspective.

if this country was a colour, it would be green. deep lush slovenian green.
Slovenia belongs to the most forested countries in Europe. 1,185,145 ha of forests cover more than a half of its territory (forestation amounts to 58.5%). Most Slovenian forests are located within the area of beech, fir-beech and beech-oak sites (70 %), which have a relatively high production capacity.
these are impressive numbers from the slovenia forest service.
