In Croatia, right wing politicians are never called Republicans. Except when someone's making comments on US politics.
And people here can be actually quite loud and willing to talk to strangers (especially when they're trying to get laid), perhaps unlike in some other parts of Europe, which is why Croats often call Scandinavians cold and reserved. On the contrary, I sometimes see them as refreshingly polite.
You can't avoid talks about gay rights and 90's Civil war here, our politicians constantly remind us not to forget arguing about those things.
Football (soccer for Americans, we don't recognize any other) can cure all the problems, but also make many new.
A glass of beer, wine or spirit during lunch or welcome is not drinking. And actual drinking is acceptable every day of the week. Everyone's drinking here.
Beware of drunken Croats who try to get laid with you. They'll most likely just follow you and talk about themselves for a while.
Also, we might offer you with tons of food and drinks. And refusing can be seen as an insult.
Money and salaries are not taboo themes in Croatia. Only taboo theme here are Civil war veterans. And religion in some smaller areas.
