Some random guy on the street of Sofia shouted "Konnichiwa" at me. Annoyed, I replied to him in another Slavonic language.

Tomorrow at 16:30 I will participate in a roundtable discussion on the history of Sino-Yugoslav/Slovenian cooperation at the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Ljubljana. Everyone is welcome!
