Američki travel blogger Gabriel Morris posjetio je Karlovac –
doduše, nakratko i ne baš pripremljen, no iako se posjet od
dva-tri sata u nedjelju ujutro i to još na Veliku Gospu ne može
baš nazvati profesionalno odrađenim poslom pa ima i dosta
faktičkih netočnosti, kao i propuštenih osobitosti i izostanka
informacija, rezultirao je ipak – zanimljivim videom.
Iza pomalo “grubog” naslova krije se, pak, lijepa priča, koja je
oduševila i njegove mnogobrojne pratitelje. Važnu ulogu svakako
su odigrali i lokalci, koji su svi redom vrlo ljubazni i
susretljivi, pogotovo trojac koji ga je pozvao i na piće, ali i
izgled grada, jer u nizu komentara stranci ističu kako je riječ o
prekrasnom i šarmantnom gradu te najavljuju da će ga posjetiti, a
primijetili su i da je grad vrlo čist. Pravi hit im je i poznata
karlovačka trojka, koja se istaknula ljubaznošću, ali i
duhovitošću, no i poznavanjem gradskih turističkih aduta.
Tu je, nažalost, i loša strana, Zvijezda, koja je i autora i
komentatore rastužila svojom “dotrajalošću”, a na svima nama je
da i mnogobrojne pohvale shvatimo upravo kao motivaciju da se
ozbiljnije krene u uređenje stare jezgre, jer ako se strancima
grad jako sviđa i uz prikazivanje ratom i nebrigom oštećenog
povijesnog dijela grada – što bi tek bilo da i Zvijezdu uredimo
onako kako smo uredili parkove i zelene površine?
Evo i najzanimljivijih komentara:
– Cool Croatia! Whether its the national parks, or the
islands, or a historic old-world village or a provincial town or
city Croatia screams cool. Couple that with a population that is
as cool as cool can probably ever get then effectively what we
have is the coolest country inhabited by the coolest people
anywhere.
– It’s cool how in other countries people invite a stranger
to have a drink and talk. Extremely Rare in the USA.
– Very charming city in beautiful Croatia
– Nice to see that drinking locals know more about the US
and US history than most Americans
– Great video Gabriel… We’ve been to Karlovac a few times,
but never stayed there… I should’ve said we’ve passed thru
Karlovac, but normally after midnight, going towards Poland…
but now I plan to stop there and wander around…
– Even with wounds it looks like very pretty city, and it’s
so clean!
– It’s amazing how even remote cities in Croatia are
beautiful, such a green city and they say what, four rivers? Too
bad it was Sunday morning maybe next time you’ll get some more
time. Thanks for the video!
– Charming little city, looks more central European, totally
different to the ones along the coast. Such a shame that
wonderful old town got damaged in the war, if I understood that
correctly?
– I really loved those gentlemen. What friendly people. It
was like you were all long-time friends, even though you never
met before & live in different parts of the world. Inspiring.
