    If you sit on a cold surface and there's a draft and you have a wet hair and you are eating something cold, you are 100% guaranteed to die.

    Hi Tristan! I am from Croatia and I will try to explain to you where you are wrong.
    1. When a person finishes some craft school, such as hairdresser, carpenter, car mechanic, if they know they craft these people earn more money than those who finish high school and college.
    2.When you order water in Croatia, you will get plain water. I have not in my 40 years of life experienced someone asking me what you stated.
    3. In Croatia, vacations last 10 to 15 days, at most.
    4.True, You were right about this one.
    5.The small sinks you describe are mostly in hostels or apartments for tourists. In Croatia we have signs for bathrooms of normal size.
    I personally and everyone I know prefer the big ones.
    6.The truth is that most windows in Croatia look like that, You were right about this one.
    7.Croats don't go out with wet hair when it's winter outside, because they would catch a cold just like an American would catch a cold when he went out in the cold with wet hair.
    8.Croats are a proud people in every way. You were right about this one.
    9.True. You were right about this one.
    10.Croats leave their homeland for other countries not because they like it, but because the economy is a disaster and because there is a lot of corruption and economic crime

    The wet hair is cause in Croatia it's windy very often, and specially when it's cold, going outside with wet hair may result in you getting sick. The rumors about the face freezing is to my knowledge a very rare case when the cold does something to your neurons which distorts your normal resting face a bit or something.

    My friend, you are too young to feel rheumatism, weak kidneys and sinus disease. I hope you will live long and prosper but one day if you start to feel those things remember your wet hair and cold surfaces where you sat when you were younger. Body remembers..always..and one brief story..for example ... One of many events .. I was out with friends and we drank and had fun until late at night. I fell asleep under the window in the room and did not notice that the rain was falling through the window carried by the wind over my head. The next morning I couldn’t turn my head. the stiff neck lasted for a week. explanation? Grandmother knows. never underestimate the power of drafts, no matter which side it comes from

    There is a huge reason why we love our cities so much. How old is the oldest city in the States? Your civilization is 300 years old only… Think about that for a start. My last name originates from 15th century in my hometown. Origin is important for us. Croatians settled in this region in 7th century, which is 2400 years old civilization. So, your roots are maybe not that strong as ours are. ;)
