have with the entry last time I temporarily more or less everything know from my experience with Japan (except for some minor details and the mysterious report on the Summer School) wrote. I have therefore decided to abuse my Japanese blog and write here about my experiences in Slovenia, because like most of you know, I thank AIESEC, hired three months with a company in Ljubljana and so all goes well, then Vienna (Oh God, Vienna!). Two things about it: 1 Since I work full time my entries will appear rather unregelmäßg, and if the weekend and 2 more As Slovenia is culturally not really so different to Austria, the items will also be rather shorter.
So today as only this: Slovenia and the territories here were really too long, with Austria, for they have taken over our bureaucracy (with 45 years of communism have certainly not helped even). Just as in Austria you must fill out countless forms, submission of documents to visit several offices (located at different ends of town) and to mess around with other, perform with due only to a simple notification registration, and maybe get a tax number. The difference, as so often, officials are in the majority much more polite and friendly and can do much better English. Nevertheless, here also probably a branch of the family feared the species' Beamtus Austriacus " nested. Zoologists estimate that this particular subspecies 100 years ago entwicklte in this region and, despite efforts to eradicate the last 20 years, some cards hold amazingly resilient. I too am one (or better one) met: grumpy, despite politeness and friendliness on my part, uncooperative, and refusal to speak a single word out of their own language. Makes you really feel low supplicant and sincerely be unwelcome, it may end his fault but please once again and "creep". Well, so what, until now, fortunately an isolated case.
Oh, and why this phrase as title of the entry? Well, I've seen on the titling office again: "As an alien in Slovenia ..." (My god, deja vu!). However, there is apparently only rarely and not as in Japan the "normal" name, it is also the Office's Department for Foreigners "and not" Alien Registration Office.
And no, this time I can not get such beautiful alien registration card.
interesting (and funny) facts / opinions about Slovenia:
Krain, the Krain is called one of the five historical regions of Slovenia, consisting of Gorenjska (with Krainburg as center), Inner Carniola (centers: Idrija and Postojna / Postojna) and the common Dolenjska and Bela krajina area (with Ljubljana as the center), where Ljubljana is situated almost exactly in the middle of the three areas of Carniola. In earlier times there were also Mitterkrain, later added to Unterkain and Istria as subdivisions. Also comes from an earlier period (around the first turn of the century) the term and territory of the Windisch Mark, which represented a large part of today's southeastern Krain. As a historical description (although, already part of Carniola) it was used until 1918 (see title of the Great Emperor of Austria). The Krain in itself is already in the late 10th Century, as Mark mentioned, and 1346 appointed to the Duchy (of interest to some people: In the 12th century besaßen die Spanheimer/Sponheimer Teile des Gebietes unter anderem Laibach). Nachdem es als Teil der Illyrischen Provinzen eine Zeit lang zu Napoleons Eroberungen zählte, wurde es im Kaiserreich Österreich zusammen mit Kärnten, Istrien, Görz und Gradisca zum Königreich Illyrien gemacht. Nach der Revolution 1848 erhielt es den Status eines eigenen Kronlandes, gelegen zwischen den Österreichischen Küstenland, Kärnten, Steyer/Steiermark und Kroatien-Slawonien, und sein Wappen (blauer Adler mit rot/goldenem Brustband auf hellblauem Grund) teilte sich den Bindeschild mit jenem Kärntens. Nach 1918 kam es (ohne seine westlichsten Gebiete) zu Slowenien, welches wiederum im SHS Königreich aufging. Im 2. Weltkrieg some of Italy struck, and later return to Yugoslavia (with the western areas), it has belonged since 1991, the Republic of Slovenia, but not represent a separate administrative unit. However, it has to be clear today, a regional identities have also clearly visible in the dialects (like all historical regions of Slovenia).
