Streak Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Wow Bojan, those are some beautiful mountains. Looks a lot like the mountains around here. Especially the Uinta mountains. We have lots of Swiss heritage up in the Heber valley/Park city area. They settled in those places because it reminded them of the Alps they had left behind. It's also nice to find out more about the places the military rifles (picked-up a Yugo SKS this winter) I've collected have come from.

Rattler Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 You can give an officer a map, or a set of binos, or a compass, but never any of the three in combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bojan Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 ~S~ Bojan, So whats the ratio of males to females out of that 2,000,000 ?? LOL If I have understood you correctly you are asking about females. Well there is 51% female and 49% male population. Since you like girls, I have enclosed photo of miss 2007.

Enforcer57 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 It's times like this I wish My computer could see shots posted within the site. I rode a Slovenian made Tomos moped for about a year, and they are very popular (though not many are seen) and well made. They also make the engines for BMW motorcycles, as it was found they can hold the tolerances better than BMW can. I want to get another one at some point.

Bojan Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 Postojna caves There are many caves in Slovenia, but this is the most famous one. I have visited it many times. The funniest part I remember was when I brought a friend from Korea. Close to the end of the tour he became brave enough and touched one of the vertical stones. He was deeply impressed by the touch and said “I thought this was made from mud†Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bojan Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 Versatile Slovenia. Last time I have showed the Alpine part of Slovenia with hills and mountains. This time I am going to show the flat lands of Slovenia called Prekmurje. Prekmurje is the easternmost region of Slovenia. It borders Hungary to the north-east, Austria to the north-west, Croatia to the south and the Slovenian region of Styria to the south-west. It is named after the Mura River, which separates it from the rest of Slovenia (a literal translation from Slovene would be Over-Mura or Transmurania Prekmurje is an agriculture area known for different food crops and wine yards. The most famous Prekmurje product is pottery and “prekmurska gibanica†Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
