ESN Zadar

Kult pub
Kult was my favorite pub (if you can call it like that) from the first day I stepped foot in it. It gives a perfect homey atmosphere, although I still don't know anybody there. I don't go there so often, mostly because my friends change coffee bars every time we go for...

Experience in Zadar, Croatia by Valentina
What is it like to live in Zadar? Would you recommend it? What is the city like? It's great! I am not originally from Zadar but from the north of the country so to live on the coast for 5 years is just perfect. I would definitely recommend it to everyone who is thinking...

Handball championship and other girly stuff

Coming back home for Christmas
Here I am back at home with my family. Returned to my roots, to my old house, old room, same old people and friends. Same all, but still different. Some things never change but a lot of them do, especially when you're away. I had an interesting journey from Zadar to...

Bojan - The tale of Mr. Thirsty
Once upon a time, there was a young Macedonian boy, of a regular appearance, somewhat funny haircut, but all in all perfectly normal. He was shy, well behaved and did not stand out from the rest of the inhabitants of his city. People rarely noticed him and there was...

Happy birthday, Bojane
My dear Bojan, I know you won't be reading this tonight and probably not tomorrow, maybe not even the day after that, because knowing this is a big event and it requires a big party and a lot of alcohol, you'll get sober enough to read only in a couple of days. If it...

Back in Zadar
The whole last year I spent in Brno as one of the crazy people who left their country, their friends and family to study at a university where none of the professors speaks their language, to live with a person from God knows where who was made their roommate by some...

Train-to-Prague party
The ending of January and beginning of February was full of goodbye or see-you-soon parties. A lot of people were leaving, some were staying but also saying goodbye to those they will probably never see again. It was sad and it still is, but everybody was trying not...
