Good job on your video. Look like your 3 years have been quite the adventure. Greetings from Greenville, SC. I lived overseas in several countries, so I always appreciate other people who love travel!
Hi, a local resident here, I used to live in Maribor for some years, but we mowed out a bit last year, so living in countryside close to Maribor right now. It really makes me giggle how you pronounce the name of our city - Merry Boar 🐗... Really? 🤣 But it's cute. Well I can assure you there are no boars around our city, and there aren't that many in the outskirts either. And they aren't that merry for sure. And for the cathedral part - yes, it's definitely authentic. I was playing my guitar alongside a choir in that church which sang during the services at the time when I was living there and I can say it's really a great community there. I'm glad that you liked my home city and wish you many happy adventures in the future.
Nice to see y'all again, one more place I need to visit where I haven't been before. Thanks for taking us along, love your videos and can hardly wait for the next one.
thank you for your comments about my hometown, but what you saw is only 20 percent of what we have, thank you, come to the Lent festival, it starts on Friday 😉😂
New subscriber here and a former Yugoslav (seeing your vids of my hometown of banja luka brought me here) - any plans on re-visiting Bosnia at all while you're in the Balkans?
Thats not entirely true - our history dates back to the 6th century. Yugoslavia was a collective of balkan states who allied for survival purposes, but we always knew that we weren't one country and understood the borders between the ''states'' of yugoslavia. Before it, slovenes spent about 1500 years under others' rule, except for 33 years in the 6th century when we had our own kingdom, but we always had a sense of our own identity as slovenes!
@@daniel.septembre False, Primož Trubar called us Slovenes in the 16th century. And even if that were true, just because we didnt have a word for ourselves doesnt mean that we didnt have a cultural/ethnic identity seperate from others
Hello :) I'd just like to correct your pronunciation of the city Maribor. You pronounce it like "Mary - bor", but it should sound more like "Mah-ree-bor". Slovenians stress the first syllable, people from Maribor tend to stress the last syllable

Not this time, but we hope to be back sometime soon!
Fun fact: Slovenia is one of the youngest countries in Europe. It was used to be part of Yugoslavia and gained it's independence in 1991.

@@lavikmee Nope, we did not have the identity as Slovenes, since the word for Slovenia was created in the early 19th century.

Nope. The first syllable is the one that is stressed the most. But sometimes we stress two syllables in a word, so MA-ri-BOR.
