    Zagreb looks quite provincial in comparison with Budapest. Zagreb is like Bratislava and far away from Budapest.

    Croatia has no big cities, even Zagreb is a small city. So this urban or rural definition is just based on local standards.

    Stears name is Csaba. It is because Csaba is protector of Szekely people, a Hun prince and son of Attila in Magyar mythology. Stears father was Csaba too, every second Szekler is named Csaba. I love Csaba name, but not this troll.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Csaba

    In Hungarian mythology, Prince Csaba was the youngest son of Attila, King of the Huns. A fierce and skilled warrior, he led the Huns to victory in all the battles they encountered over the ages. He is the legendary leader of the Székelys.

    But after Csaba's death, the Huns had no one to take his place. Seizing their chance, the enemies of the Huns launched an assault on the Hun kingdom. As they met on the field of battle, the enemy generals mocked the Huns, saying "and who will save you now that Csaba is gone?" But no sooner had those words been spoken, a bright pathway consisting of stars appeared in the night sky and Csaba rode down at the head of an army from the heavens. Csaba and his army routed the Frankish invaders and saved the Huns once again, and three more times he returned down the "Skyway of the Warriors" to defend his people. According to some versions of the legend, he was seen once more several centuries later leading Árpád and the Hungarians, a brother tribe of the Huns, over the Carpathians and into the land that is today known as Hungary.

    Consequently, the meaning of the Hungarian name Csaba (Csaba - "A gift from the sky" or "A gift from the heavens") is said to have been derived from this legend.

    Simon of Kéza and Mark of Kalt claimed that he was the legendary ancestor of the Aba clan; Mark additionally claimed that he was the legendary ancestor of the Árpád dynasty.

    Oh also; on my island they asked me if Stears is muslim from Bosnia when they heard his name since they are clueless about Magyar names and it sounded exotic and Turkish like to them :

    Ofcourse it looks provincial since it was provincial capital while Budapest was Imperial capital.

    Zagreb is a big city, and it has gotten too big in recent times, it's suburbia exploded in tens of kilometers in every direction. What is not big is it's historical core, because Zagreb was not a big city until 100 years ago and it didn't have large population.

    I live in 100k city, with suburbia over 200k, and we have all cultural amenities large cities have. Planning (maybe, not sure yet) to move to smaller town in near future togheder with Stears, which is on edge of Zagreb anglomeration.

    This is a dishonest tactic of yours that you repeat with multiple users after you LOSE A DEBATE and have nothing left to say.


    Are you quoting the manual now? I doubt that you are capable of writing a sentence like that.


    Look who's talking, YOU are the one harassing Frank and interrupting our discussion.
    Most people who grew up in countries where English was not a spoken language actually use a lot of "written-first" words in their writing because that is how they learned the language.

    Stop following me around and stop quoting me please. You are just proving your butthurt by bringing up the Google AI thing out of the context and also disrupting the discussion here.

    I already put you on my ignored list, but you don’t stop quoting me.

    That's because they had a lot of obstacles put in their way preventing them from keeping their language. People need to get over it and move on. It isn't affecting anyone only the Irish. It's like people want to shame the Irish for losing their language and ignoring the history of how it happened.

But I think Australia is still a safe country all things considered.

    That Dutchwoman got murdered by a man with 'psychological issues'. He didn't break in to rob her. He just was a nutjob who entered a house and murdered its occupant.
    Another terrible crime here that got lots of publicity and was a very high profile crime was the rape and murder of Irishwoman Jill Meagher in Brunswick.
