Warm greetings to all Slovenians and especially to Jan88, with whom I just had a very nice hit (my first one, and also the first one in my town; and the first one for Jan88 himself). I guess he's not an active user on the forum, unless he does so with a different username.
Let's hope it's the first of a series

Tutkorajn salutojn al c'iuj slovenoj kaj specife al Jan88, kun kiu mi j'us faris belegan trafon (mia unua trafo, la unua trafo en mia urbo, kaj la unua trafo de Jan88 mem). Mi kredas, ke li ne estas uzanto de la slovena forumo, krom se li uzas alian nomon.
Ni esperu, ke c'i tiu estas unua el serio

Unbelievable, user BoSSCoReLLi found one of my notes.

Congratulations for him/her and I'm very very glad to have a hit with your country

I'm also very happy with our hit! A great surprise! Hope there is more from where it came from

I was thinking of that too. Maybe I will follow my note within a few years. I have to wait until my sons are old enough.....

Hey, I'd like you to hop onto the International Game on the Off-Topic forum. Here's a link: http://forum.eurobilltracker.eu/viewtop ... sc&start=0 .
I'd really like to see something in Slovenian there, as that thread is a magnificent way of learning new languages.

Rad! (Hoping this is the correct form - na žalost ne govorim dobro slovensko, I've been trying to start learning it for a few years but never seem to find the time

).

I'll visit tomorrow (Saturday) with my girlfriend; we'll come by train and check out a few sights and shops (is Kruh-pecivo a good kavarna?). And find a place where they serve good beer (is there anywhere especially good, which is also open early? - we have to leave by early evening; but we'll come again soon).

Two further questions:
Are there any specialty shops for chocolate(s)?
Where can I exchange some notes

? Are any banks open or is there an exchanger at the train station? Or anywhere else?

You can go about 15 minutes from train station (right from big S) - left to Europark-big shopping center across Drava (Drau) river. There you can shopping, drinking, eating, lift money from Geldautomaten ...

A bank left near big red church (partizanska street), near the Tito's bridge is open at saturday from 8-11.

sure thing

No. I (and my parents) am from Lower Austria originally, I've only lived in Graz for the last seven years.
One of my girlfriend's great-aunts lived in Sotina (near Murska Sobota?), that's about all of my connection to Slovenia.

No hit in Maribor today, but what a fine city! Especially the mestni park - I like that one much more than the Stadtpark in Graz.
And the icecream at Ilich was very good - and huge!

We had a great day mostly just looking at the usual tourist sights, and will visit again as soon as possible; and I finally have a reason to really start larning slovensko, as I don't want to always be asking "Ospotite, govorite nemško ali angleško?"

Nice to hear that you have good impressions from MB. I studied there and I like it much more than Ljubljana.

A small correction: "Oprostite, govorite nemško ali angleško?"
