On our way home from Dubrovnik not only did we stop at Mostar, but we also stopped in Zagreb to drop off Aunt Kathryn to go to the airport. After we dropped her off, we decided to go for a little while to one of the biggest malls in Zagreb, the Arena Centar. This is a really nice mall. It also has WiFi, which is always a big plus. In fact, for dinner we had Middle Eastern food with WiFi. Dad kept asking me to get sneakers, which also encouraged Caroline to get some. After almost 45 minutes of Caroline choosing which "Twinkle Toes" (light-up shoes) to get, I headed down to the Converse store and quickly got a pair of sneakers.

I definitely found a lot of similarities between this mall and American malls. For instance, this mall had a McDonald's and a KFC! There were a few differences though. There were less crowds and less sales (that last thing makes you want to go to American mall). But I have to admit that back in the States, we have to drive 20 miles to go to a very limited mall. In Rijeka and if we lived in Zagreb, malls would be a mile away.
I also want to add that as I write this post, Croatia is playing in Euro 2012--Europe's soccer (called football here) championship tournament. Dad and Mom are watching the soccer game (Croatia vs. Ireland) on TV. Our balcony door is open, and when Croatia just scored, we heard loud cheering outside along with fireworks, maybe coming from as far away as Opatija.
