because I am always natural and honest (Longbowman can say it's true when we met this summer, which Im more than glad, one of the best ppl I ever met) , because I am natural and honest I will tell you somethin Dick about Yugoslavia and me lol: I was just a kid, maybe 4 years old, and when they were taking down Yugoslav flag in Zagreb in 1991 (on TV) I was crying haha.
I remember that, I swear, I was crying like you wouldn't believe, and my mum and dad were all great Croatian patriots so they were like; "why do you crying, what is the matter with you", but I was only a kid, I didnt understand what is Yugoslavia, I didnt understand what is Croatia or anything, I just understood I love Yugoslavia, and that I always played Yugoslav soldiers near house haha.
So my mum asked me nicely; "ok so you're crying there is no Yugoslavia flag anymore, which flag will you love now"? And I just said (removing tears lol): "Italian..."
Hahahahha
Not even a month or two after that, war happened, and I was totally into Croatian flag and soldiers ofcourse, but this just shows that ... hey, kids didn't understand anything, we loved Yugoslavia, not because of politics or whatever, it was just: Yugoslavia.
I dont know can you understand me on this lol

Visit Yugoslavia, as a tourist.
Many Western tourists visited Yugoslavia, as the country was neutral during the Cold War and had a good relationship with the NATO countries despite ideological differences.

Not only that it was neutral, but Yugoslavia founded movement of neutral countries, which is historic thing.
Tito was often in USA and giving advices to Nixon how to run USA lol.
Also he advised him more than once how to deal with Soviets.
Also Yugoslavia was the only communist country which said legendary: "NO!" to USSR in 50s.
Stalin was making threats that he will attack Yugoslavia because of that, but Tito said: cammon we are waiting.
Stalin just gave up, after that rest is history.

My mother spent 2 years working in Yugoslavia and her impression was this:
-Slovenes- very cultured and quiet people
-Serbs are kinda like Russians but way more hot-bloded.
-Croats are like Serbs but arrogant.
-Bosnians are pretty stupid villagers.
-Albos were discribed to be all dirty and poor "kinda like gypsies"
-Montenegrins are as big as lazy.
-No opinion on Bulgarians.
BTW what is the general opinion on Tito's rule in Yugoslavia? It seems that overall this guy gets a good reputation.
