      Zagreb is a different country!
      Everything in Croatia revolves around Zagreb or at least people living in Zagreb think. The whole country belongs to them, they're convinced. They always speed on the highways, and whenever there is a massive collision, you can bet your life at least one car will have Zagreb plates.
      You buy anything in Zagreb, and has to be delivered somewhere else, "Oh wait, that will be an extra".
      They always think they're superior to everyone else...like wtf?!!!

    Oh my gosh I can’t believe how so many of these are followed by my African-American family from the South! Especially the no walking barefoot/sitting on cold surfaces and placing your purse on the ground. We believe the money drains from your purse (figuratively not literally) if you sit it on the floor. Also, always look inside containers in the kitchen. You may think it’s butter in there but it’s turns out to be leftovers from dinner! Lol

    Soo spot on. I have experienced all of these big no nos when visiting my relatives in Croatia and laughed when I saw this video. As born and raised in Sweden, we are used to more cold climate and don´t see any danger by walking barefoot or sit on concrete during the summertime in Croatia.

    I LOVE this video!! My grandmother was Croatian and us kids got in trouble and often didn’t understand why. (Dad did NOT want us to learn Croatian!) This explains a lot! The 1st year of marriage, my southerner Mamma gave Grandma a purse for Christmas but neglected to put money in it! She was completely confused when grandmother was FURIOUS!!! Apparently, a purse given empty STAYS EMPTY!!

    Nice ! There is a rule to not leave any drinks in your glass unfinished when you are leaving home from your guests because you are leaving quarrel/disagreement in the house. To never go outside of the house with the wet hair because you will get the headache. To not look from windows when there is rain and thunder outside and to this day I still don't know why :P
    Oh the fanny pack I did get a lot of strange looks for it in Canada but I love to wear it . And also don't know where to with all my stuff with out one. Year ago when I was last time in Canada I started to see fanny packs being sold in the stores there so it's just a matter of time until they discover how awesome they are.

    I was once on the motorway in the UK - having driven over from Croatia with loads of stuff - and whilst filling up with petrol took a swig from what I thought was a water bottle. It wasn't. Instantly about five times over the limit. The whole cold/propuh obsession is unbelievable, though. My Croatian wife and I now live in Zambia, and she's still obsessed about having the children in jumpers, always wearing their slippers, etc. even if it never drops below 25 degrees.
