Postcards

(New Zealander’s postcard:)
Hi Dad - Greetings from Slovenia!
It’s cold in Ljubljana, but it’s a pretty town
Everything’s old here, like stepping back in time
Today I saw people dressed in animal costumes, waving placards:
It was some sort of animal rights protest
Yet there have a burger chain here called “Hot Horse”
Yeah - horse burgers - go figure…
I saw a wierd street sign today too
It looked like a paedophile leading an innocent child
What was that about?
Oh, and they have rubbish bins shaped like frogs
Because frogs eat waste? Really?
I’m just back from the Slovenian Riviera
It’s only about 30 kilometres long
You can see the town where I stayed if you flip over the postcard:
It’s marked with an “X”
I’ll be coming home soon - bye for now!

(Slovenian’s postcard:)
Hello Mum - Greetings from New Zealand!
I am at the other end of the world!
I have come a long way, but where are the hobbits?
All I see in the streets are drunken hard cases
The quality of education here is very low
People don’t know anything about history, culture or languages
They only speak English
What struck me the most is how I have never seen such green colours before
The lifestyle is super (sunshine, sea, surfing), but living here does not appeal to me
In Auckland they have places like “neighbourhoods” in America,
Where I never saw a single white person
But that doesn’t make me a racist…
And Auckland is quite different as big cities go,
with everything spread outwards rather than upwards
The distances between the regions are huge,
And there are no motorways linking them
Best wishes!
