the American in Croatia

To begin with let me apologise for my last entry as I misinformed you in two ways.

Firstly, I know the African-American guys name- Fred. Secondly, he didn't land on Croatian ground in October 2005.

Now, let me tell you (this time without misinforming you) what befell him in November 2005.

Amongst other things he wrote his portfolio on www.creativehotlist.com/froyster
and if you happen to be intrigued to read it, do it. After all, he won the Graphic Design USA website award for www.comicspage.com
If you are a comic buff, you can find some hot stuff there.

What I simply cannot emphasise enough is his genuine interest in reading Croatian news and books (translated into English)as well as studying it actively. This is how moving abroad should be done- one has to know the basics about another culture and language. The rest will come to you once you've moved.

His stuff was also being shipped in November and he found a subletter for his apartment.

Finally, there was a intriguing sentence amongst his posts, which really makes one wonder:

"There is only so much you can learn in one place. The more you delay moving, the more time you waste."
