When visiting Zagreb in the past year, Colleen and I saw very few Asian tourists, but on this trip there are clearly many more. Our tour guide says that they are mostly Koreans! The reason is that there have been very popular Korean TV shows filmed in Zagreb, and as such there is a direct flight to Zagreb from Seoul to bring show fans who want to see filming locations! I had noticed Korean written on a sign outside a store, and I had been surprised then to see that. Now I know why. The tour guide says he’s given them tours, but they don’t want any talking, just bringing them around the city as quickly as possible so they can then get on to the next city on their multi-city tour.
I visited a Zagreb museum covering technology for the blind, which the tour guide hadn’t heard about! It covered different types of “readable” text technologies, including Braille, which won out, as we know. Interestingly, there was once a knot-based system for the alphabet, similar to the Incan communication method from hundreds of years ago (of interest to my fellow Peru travelers).

This is a great T-shirt:

Today’s dad joke: What do you call the innermost part of an apple from Seoul that has existed for an indefinitely long period of time?
South Core-eon!
Today’s limerick:
Zagreb is a city better than most
Despite it not being along the coast
There are many sites to see
Which are low cost or are free
All the same, locals are not prone to boast.
Today’s travel quote (I’m feeling this one):
No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow.

That tshirt is funny! I guess I don’t have many preconceived notions about the Swiss? All the others are spot-on.
It would knot be easy for the blind to read using knots.
Uh oh, getting into the dad joke game! 👍
Ah, neat – definitely calls to mind the many quipus we saw in Peru!
