Zagreb's Ice fever!

In the past couple of years hockey got a new boost in popularity in Zagreb. The usual stadium is always packed, cheering is amazing, probably the best in the whole EBEL league. Our team - Medveščak, or as we call them "medvjedi" (en. bears) is now second in the league and has been giving us heart-attack finishes this year. Each January, the whole show and cheering moves to a 15000-20000 seat arena, for louder, bigger, better show and cheering - called Ice fever. Yesterday, we had another heart-attack-finish, where Medvjedi won in overtime, while austrian KAC was in lead for most of the match. The whole show starts off with a typical US themed player introduction with flames, music etc (other sports in Croatia haven't adopted the scheme yet). In the first photo you can see the Nesquik rabbit waving at us, and the second shows the player intro:

It's been a year and a half since my last post, I guess life, photo-laziness and random stuff got in way of my daily photo updates, and even taking photos. However, I've decided it was about time I got back to posting new photos of my beautiful city.

Most of the photos are courtesy of my Google Nexus S phone, but also, whenever I have time, I'll try to take the real camera out and give you some good shots.

So, here we go (going chronologically back from today), the Moon, Arena all lit up and Jarun's rowing path:

Ribs

Ready for New Year's celebration? Or have you already entered 2010? :) Pork and "french salad" (the French I know have never seen or tasted this salad so I don't know where the name comes from) is the typical New Year's Eve meal in Croatia. Following pork tradition, the photo of Arena and its rib-shaped architecture seems to be appropriate:
