I Feel Slovenia
That’s the current Slovenian Tourist Board‘s slogan. My first run-in with the notorious hail that falls from the sky around these parts brought it to life quite vividly (as lorax reminded me) on Friday and also helped me make up my mind as to whether I should keep my car for another year.
The slogan, or brand, was introduced a few years ago. The official rationalization behind the slogan is here; mention of hailstorms is conspicuously missing.

Wow I didn’t realize how truly awful that I Feel Slovenia campaign was until I read that. Slovenian people have never sounded so boring and servile. This country has got to stop making the “safe” decision every time. Boooorrrring.
@Pirano: that hail storm sent me running… err, driving… under the trees off the road… never done that before. Interesting, finding yourself surrounded by other cars parked in the park alongside one of the main streets in Šiška…
@C: Servile my ass! How may I help you realize we’re extremely confident and aware of our greatness?
Yeah, Dr., it totally sucked. The loud pounding and huge chunks of hail were like a scene from a bad horror flick.
