hello again

I hate being sick! I'm currently sitting here with my tea and my tissue, and I'm getting really tired of blowing my nose.

I went to the supermarket looking for cough drops, but I couldn't find them. So, with my very limited Croatian vocabulary, I went for help. I'm talking very limited: "I am " I was asked if I was looking for tea, then taken to the honey. Then I amended my statement, "Do you have candies for (I used the word 'vrata', which, at the time, came out when I was thinking stop, but then I realized means close, or possibly door...oops) Finally, I was lead to the candy section, and finally appreciated the fact that many of the candies here are mentholated.

There's an underground mall beneath the train station here. The first time I went in there, I thought it was just a passageway with a few stores. Later, I noticed other hallways leading off of it. The other day, I went wandering, and it's like a labyrinth in there. The hallways lead in every direction, and there are even multiple levels in some places.

I had my first dream in Croatian! I didn't understand all the words and there were a few English ones mixed in, but there were definitely conversations in Croatian.
