here's a little review, why they consider ljubljana to be
that high on the list:

What Makes It Cool: Plenty of students, clubs, friendly
attitude, economy on the upswing
Useful Phrase: I love you: Lubim ta

Hipster Italians would have scoffed at the notion of
spending a weekend in Ljubljana 10 years ago. These days,
the Slovenian capital has become a destination for plenty of
neighboring Europeans. The nightlife offers techno clubs in
rustic villas as well as mellow jazz bars. Ljubljana's
nearly 30,000 university students account for about a tenth
of the city's population. Slovenia has been one of Eastern
Europe's economic success stories. Pharmaceutical company
Lek, which is responsible for a good chunk of the country's
GDP, was recently acquired by Novartis at a 50% premium.
Perhaps best of all, though they are just as stylish and
beautiful as their Western European counterparts, yuppie
Slovenes have yet to acquire Euro-haughtiness.

i wonder who voted, cos i doubt many slovenians know of that
site/magazine...
tourists have been coming a lot in the past years...perhaps
some of them had something to do with this :)

capitol of singledom fun-place.

don't you ever get people coming into Slovenia trying to
talk to you in other related dialects? (serb, russian,
polish, czech, etc.)?

hmm, no...i dont really think those languages are that
simmilar - at least i cant understand any of those (perhaps
a word or two)
i only understand serbian, but this is only becuase we used
to live in the same country and i learnt serbian in school

if any of tourists come in slovenia we talk in english - how
weird is that hehe, but really there's too much difference -
its like english and german - some simmilar words and thats
it

Maybe if you were stranded on some island, you'd be
guaranteed to be single. Or maybe a city with lots of ugly
people, greate place to be single too.

your city sounds like a FUN spot. =0) i have to admit i
don't know much about Slovenia, but sounds like there's lots
to do!

i've been to 4 of those cities as well, NOT including
OTHER???? heheheh, i am VERY surprised an ITALIAN city was
not named, as well as GERMANY.....cos man those Germans can
drink some BEER, and are VERY FLIRTY (i've seen it for
myself!) =o)

INteresting schtuff!

and Nacho you are so ADORABLE......priceless.....ehhehe

i guess if you're into mainstream music (house, techno,
progressive and other shitty music) its ok, but we have very
little of clubs where i can hear the music i like...from
this perspective barcelona is unbeatable + many other
cities
i guess what most ppl like about ljubljana is that it is
almost in the centre of the europe and it is more relaxed
than any other capital city

btw, my new fellow citizen is Chris Eckman from Walkabouts
but in his case it was beacause of a girl hehe
