Croatia votes to join the EU...and Puss in Boots in 3D

First, today Croats voted to join the European Union: http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/croats-vote-eu-membership-referendum-15414259#.Txxs-qUV2Ah.  We've had several conversations with people here about this.  All said that the Croats would vote yes, but one noted that joining was seen as the lesser of two evils.  Also, one person here mentioned that the vote would be divided by region (with Rijeka and the capital city of Zagreb voting yes), and another noted that many in rural areas were against the EU because they were concerned about the regulations that would be imposed upon them if Croatia joined.  This person gave the example of a farmer who sells his cheese on the side of the road and doesn't refrigerate it; that farmer evidently wouldn't want the food and safety regulations that Croats would have the follow if the country joined the EU because of the extra costs involved.

Second, to go back to the title...we went to see Puss in Boots in 3D today.  We thought that the movie was going to be in English with Croatian subtitles as with the other English-language movies at this theater.  But it turns out that the cartoons (and probably all children's movies) are in Croatian.  Oops!  We still understood the basic story line, especially with cats and other objects frequently flying at us.  Plus Alison had seen this movie a few months ago back in our hometown with a couple of friends.  I liked that this theater did assigned seating.  An interesting experience all around.
