There are many reasons why I love Zagreb. To begin with, I know next to nobody in the city of my birth. The few people I do know are acquaintances at best. Which is why I am free to roam hither and thither without any fear of bumping into people who would wish to talk to me or engage me in any other way. Next, the city boasts of a huge pedestrian zone in the center. This is very to my liking, for cars and motorcycles annoy me no end. If it were up to me, I would ban them all. On a related note, Zagreb is teeming with people who are fun to watch. Caricatures galore, as I like to say. Collectively, they provide endless entertainment for a recluse like me. Also, the Croatian capital is quite safe. Strange things happen every now and then, but the crime rate is so low that it can be lived with. Most important, my beloved lives in Zagreb. No matter what I do during the day, I know that I will be hugging and kissing her in the evening. Without her, this city would see me never again. Even if I stayed in Croatia, I would stick only to Motovun. All things considered, I indeed love Zagreb, albeit in my own peculiar way.
