Weekend in Strasbourg / Vikend u Strasburgu

I booked a hotel in Strasbourg as a birthday gift to Ensar. The hotel I choose is Graffalgar hotel and it was very cool because every room was designed by a different artist. We had one called Monsta, and the room was designed with wolves. The hotel was great. It was clean and not far from the old center.
Za rodjendan Ensar je dobio putovanje u Strasburg. Bukirala sam jedan jako cool hotel koji se zove Graffalgar i dosta je blizu centra. Interesantno je sto je svaka soba u hotelu dizajnirana od nekog drugog umjetnika. Nasa se soba zvala Monsta, a u sobi su bili vukovi po zidovima. Sobe su bile ciste i dorucak je meni bio dobar.

Strasbourg old town was beautiful. It had beautiful old buildings, cafées, shops and restaurants. These old towns are made so beautiful that thousands of tourists are coming just to see it. Today´s architect should maybe consider beauty also when making new quarters of same looking cage buildings that no one will want too see in 50 years.
Stari dio grada u Strasburgu je prelijep. Ima lijepe stare zgrade, kafic, prodavnicic i restorane. Ovi stari gradovi su tako lijepo napravljeni da na hiljade turista dolaze da ih vide. Danasnji arhitekti bi mozda trebali i ljepotu uzeti u obzir kad prave zgrade da ne prave samo kvartove istih, kao kavez izgledajucih, zgrada koje niko nece htjeti vidjeti za 50 godina. With child it is different to travel because it is not really like I can take Ada to museums (I would just run after her and would not see anything). Still I love to go with her because she gets so fascinated of other things then we grown ups.
We decided to take the sightseeing train, that she loved (at least a while), she also loved one of Europe’s if not even worlds oldest carousels and the boat tour was also highly appreciated.
Putovati sa djetetom je malo drugacije nego kad sam ides. Nije bas da mogu Adu po muzejima voditi. Samo bih za njom trcala i nista ne bih vidjela. Ali volim sa njom putovati jer postane fascinirana sasvim drugim stvarima nego odrasli.
Odlucili smo ici na kratki krug sa vozicem, Adi se (barem neko vrijeme) pravo svidjelo. Adi se isto svidio ringispil, koji je jedan od najstariji (ako ne i najstariji) u Evropi ili cak u svijetu. A i voznja sa brodom nam se svima pravo dopala.IMG_4227 IMG_4295IMG_4210
The bridge you see in the picture has a dark history. In former times criminals, especially the ones who had hurt (killed, raped, abused and so on) children and women, were put in an iron cage and than thrown into the water.
Most na slici ima tamnu istoriju. U davnim vremenima su kriminalce, pogotovo one koji su zene i djecu ubijali, silovali, maltretirali itd. stavljali u zeljezni kavez, kojeg su onda bacili u vodu.

Here are some of the things that I really liked and I am sure I will go back to Strasbourg for, at least, a tea.
Ovdje je par stvari sto mi se pravo dopalo i sigurna sam da cu se opet vratiti u Strasburg, ako nista barem na caj.

What do you love? / Sta volite?

A couple of years back I did one of the best things I have ever done for me. I went to a life coach. I felt quite lost and I had forgotten what I want and what I like at all. I felt caught like a squirrel in the wheel and life was just running away.
I’ll never forget when I was asked what my goals are and what I truly like and my brain just shut down. Nothing came up. I just felt empty.
I then got this exercise to do. Pretty simple…I thought. It took me over a month to fill it in.
Even years later I write down these things occasionally to remind myself of things i like, not to get stuck again.
Try it yourself!
Write down 50 things you love and do them as much as possible and you will become or at least stay happy.
A tip is to write it down in your cell phone and have a check from time to time. Good luck!

Jedna od boljih investicija u mom zivotu je bila da odem kod jednog life coacha. To je nesto poput terapeuta. Imala sam, prije par godina, fazu gdje sam zaboravila bila sta ja hocu u zivotu i uopste sta volim. Osjecala sam se kao hrcak u tocku bez ikakve perspektive dok zivot brzinski prolazi.
Nikad necu zaboraviti momenat kad mi je postavljeno pitanje bilo koji su mi ciljevi u zivotu i sta stvarno volim raditi. Meni se mozak bio samo iskljucio. Niceg se nisam sjetila. Maltene mi je sve bilo svejedno i osjecala sam se prazna.
Dobila sam jedan vrlo jednostavan zadatak…barem je tako djelovao…Trebalo mi je preko mjesec dana da ga zavrsim.
I dan danas sa vremena na vrijeme sjednem i zapisem ispocetka tu listu. Ucinite to i vi!
Napisite listu sa 50 stvari kojih volite.
Predlazem da listu upisete na mobitel da je sa vremena na vrijeme pogledate i da se podsjetite na stvari sto volite raditi i da ih cesce radite.
