Hello, China!
 Dear visitors from China, I was very nicely surprised seeing almost 1000 visits to my blog from China in last two days. Thank you very much for visiting the Bookaleta blog. You probably found a link to Bookaleta blog at the Nina Wang's blog. As a reporter of CCTV6 very popular TV-show "World Film Report", Nina Wang with her team visited Istria a couple of weeks ago, and filmed her reports about a number of interesting stories here, including the story about the legend of the vampire Jure Grando from Istrian village of Kringa, or the story how Jackie Chan got injured during the shooting of the opening scene for his movie "The Armour of God", filmed in the medieval ruins of ancient Istrian town of Dvigrad. As Nina told me, four episodes of "World Film Report" dedicated to Croatia will be broadcasted at CCTV6 in March 2008. She interviewed me also, and, if she will not replace me with some more interesting material, you will see me on your TV screens. I hope that Nina's reports will attract you to visit Istria some day, a lot of interesting places and stories are waiting for you. My blog is mostly dedicated to Istrian cultural heritage and all kind of traditions, and to modern Croatian literature, specially science fiction. Unfortunately, posts on this blog are mostly in Croatian, and they are not understandable to Chinese visitors. If you'd like to find something more about Istria, here are some internet sources in English that you can visit: Istrianet.org - Site with a lot of data about Istrian cultural heritage, also with very detailed maps Histrica.com - List of Istrian touristic resources, with a lot of data about accomodation, towns, villages, etc. Istra-Istria.com - The official site of the Istrian county (regional government), with basic geographical and political data, and some useful bussiness information It could be enough for the start, and for more details, I'm sure that Google can lead you to every subject that you possibly could want to know more about. Again, thank you very much for visiting my blog, thanks Nina Wang for connecting us, and if you want to know something more about Istria, don't hesitate to leave the comment here, or to e-mail me. |
