Dobar dan! U ovoj reportaži, želim govoriti o svojim zadnjim danima u Zagrebu.
hrvatsko narodno kazalište
Croatian National Theatre
Jako sam tužan što napuštam zagreb, osjećam se kao da sam ovdje izgradio nevjerojatan život i upoznao sjajne prijatelje. Zagreb je predivan grad. Kad sam prvi put došao, nisam očekivao da ću tako uživao ovdje, navikao sam živjeti u prevelikom gradu Londona ali sad vidim kako Zagreb ima svoj čar i iako nije najveliki grad u svijetu, ima predivnih ljuda koje su, iskreno, fakat više zanimljivi i simpatični nego ljudi u Londonu (sori London).
Ovog tjedna, počeo sam pakirati svoje stvari – zapravo nisam donio puno iz engleske jer iako se 6 mjeseci osjeća kao veliko razdoblje, nije potrebno donijeti sve što imaš! Mislim da mi je zimski kaput najviše trebao kad sam tek počeo živjeti u Zagrebu u rujnu. Sada, vrijeme je bolje i ima više sunca ali tijekom mog zimskog semestra ovdje u Zagrebu, nisam nikad u životu doživio takvu hladnoću! Znam da ako se vratim u Zagreb jedan dan, došao bih tijekom ljeta ili proljeća.
Stiglo je proljeće u Zagrebu i grad je proslavio održavanjem festivala svjetla. Festival je trajao pet dana osvjetljavajući zagrebačke zgrade poput narodnog kazališta festival svjetla je jako popularan i puno ljudi su došli gledati predstave. Bilo je jako lijepo vidjeti toliko ljudi kako vani uživaju u zgradama i arhitekturi s prekrasnim svjetlosnim predstavama -pokraj kojih svakodnevno prolazimo. Osjećalo se kao zajednica i bilo je tako zanimljivo vidjeti kako grad je koristio stare i nepomične dijelove grada za stvaranje nove umjetnosti.
Kao što sam rekao, stvarno je tužno napustiti svoje nove prijatelje pa smo otišli u restoran na zadnji ručak i posilje toga smo išli na piće. U restoranu sam naručio tradicionalnu hranu: čevapi. Mislim da su mi se više svidjeli ćevapi koje sam jeo u bosni, ali i oni u ovom restoranu su bili ukusni.

In the bar after lunch
Baš sam sretan da sam došao u Zagreb i doživio pravi hrvatski studentski život. Ako bude moguće u budućnosti, želim se vratiti i naučiti više o radnom životu u Hrvatskoj – pogotovo sada kada bolje razumijem jezik.
Good morning! In this report, I want to talk about my last few days in Zagreb.
I am really sad to be leaving Zagreb, I feel like I have built an amazing life here and met some really great friends. Zagreb is a beautiful city. When I first came, I did not expect I would enjoy it here so much, I was used to living in the big city of London but now I see how Zagreb has its own charm and although it’s not the biggest city in the world, there are amazing people who are, honestly, much more interesting and lovely than people in London. (Sorry London)
Light Show
This week, I started packing my stuff – I actually didn’t that much from england because although 6 months feels like a long time, it’s not necessary to bring everything you own! I think that what I needed the most when I first came to Zagreb in September was my winter coat. Now, the weather is better and there is more sun but during my winter semester here in Zagreb, I hadn’t in my life experienced such coldness before! I know for sure now that if I return to Zagreb, I would come during the summer or spring.
Spring has arrived in Zagreb and the city celebrated by holding a festival of lights. The festival lasted 5 days illuminating Zagreb’s buildings such as the national theatre. The festival of lights is really popular and lots of people came to see the performances. It was really nice to see so many people out enjoying the buildings and the architecture with the beautiful light shows – that we all pass by every day. It felt like a community and it was really interesting to see how the city had used old and unmoving parts of the city to create new art.
Like I said, it is really sad that I am leaving my new friends so we went to a restaurant for a final lunch and after that we went for drinks. In the restaurant I ordered traditional food: Ćevapi. I think that I preferred the ćevapi I had eaten in Bosnia, but the one in this restaurant was also delicious.
I am really glad I came to Zagreb and experienced a proper, Croatian student life and if it’s possible in the future I would love to return and learn more about working life in Croatia, especially now that I better understand the language.
