Slovenia (July 08)

How ever much the guide books hype it up, Slovenia is a country most people have never heard of before. Therefore even I am confused as to why it was the destination for my summer holiday this year. As the following photos will prove, it was a stoke of fortune! In Slovenia, things are laid back and slow. You can walk on the tracks whenever and wherever you want. Everyone speaks English and beer is €1.50! Oh yeah, and the trains never get buffed. I was seeing panels from 2003 still running! The main station in the capitol (Ljubljana) was sea of colour where it was rare to see a train that was not painted. There was some really sick writers up on the trains with frequent appearances from Italian writers. To name but a few who stood out to me were ‘Files’, The ‘City Rats’ Crew and ‘Guns’ (Crew?). Files in particular had a legendary selection of panels ranging from a small production with some other writers to enormous whole cars. In all I took about 1000 photos just of graff and most of them were panels. I stayed in the Celica Hostel, which is a sweet place to go if ever in that neck of the woods. This post will be a two part section just due to the sheer number of photos!
