Second day in Ljubljana

Today was a lot less busier than yesterday. Got up at 10 (yeah, still bummass...), went to the city museum where they had exhibition on the history of Ljubljana and the path to independence of Slovenia, and they also had a very interesting exhibition from Croatia called "broken hearts", it's a collection of items that people who got dumped sent to them, items that they got from their loved one, including a letter about the item itself and its significance in their eyes. Some were kitchy, but some had interesting insights.
Later I went to look at the faculty of mathematics in Ljubljana University (that's true). It was locked, but in the physics department I met a student with whom I talked for around 2 hours on student life here and in Israel, on the political conditions on so on. Learned some interesting facts about Slovenia. Did you know there is a 60 years old rivalry between the catholic and the communists in Slovenia, although now they have no real differences in their approach in goverment?
That's all. Now I'm going out to the city to have something to drink, and hopefully meet some interesting people. Tomorrow it's off to lake Bled early in the morning.
