An American in Zagreb
• I was born in America but I have been
living in Zagreb for 10 years. It is very nice
here in Zagreb. There are a lot of nice
churches and a lot of caffés. Most of the
people are very kind and friendly. Even
though I love living here in Zagreb I look
forward to going to America every
summer.
People in Zagreb
• Everyone is very nice
looking and into
fashion. They like to
have fun. The part
that I dont like about
them is that some
people show off a
little too much, but I
guess you can find
people like that
everywhere.
When I came to Croatia from Germany, I was 6 years old. The first
place I visited was Umag in Istria. I spent two weeks of holidays there.
During that time I visited a lot of famous cities along the Istrian coast.
Just to name a few, Pula , Rovinj, Poreč, Novigrad, Labin, Rabac and
Opatija. I was also in the inland of Istria and visited old cities like
Motovun and Grožnjan and Buzet. After the vacation I moved to Zagreb
and had to start school. Zagreb is the capital of Croatia and it is a very
active city. Zagreb has 1 million citizens. There are a lot of universities
and museums. They have a beautiful Opera in the center of Zagreb. In
comparison to Germany the houses look older and the streets are not
as good as in Germany. There are famous places in Zagreb like Trg
Ban Jelačić – the main square. There are some big shopping centres
like King Cross, Importane and Kaptol. There is also a big park with an
artificial lake called Jarun. Zagreb has so many places that even many
Croatian people don’t know the whole Zagreb. It is great to live here.
