Croatian Reddit Recommends Osijek to Would-be Foreign Residents
February the 1st, 2022 - Croatian reddit is a funny place on the Internet to be, with memes and jokes galore, as well as commentary on the political situation, foreign affairs, and advice on gaining citizenship to how to make traditional Croatian dishes. Croatian Reddit is also excellent for recommendations, and a Russian user asked the sub its opinion on the best place in the country to live, with an intention of making the move. One Eastern Croatian city came out on top.
As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, a Reddit user from Russia addressed Croatian Reddit users recently and asked which Croatian city was the best choice for him to move to. He and his wife are planning to move to Croatia, and he wanted to find out which part of the country has the best living conditions, whether it is better to rent an apartment or a house, whether he can survive on 2,000 US dollars a month and which city is quiet without being expensive. Where better to ask than on Croatian Reddit?
The city that received the most praise is the Eastern and often (wrongly) overlooked City of Osijek.
It's full of greenery, everything is accessible and close at hand, public transport is always available and punctual. It's cheaper, Croatian Reddir users say, than living in Zagreb and the cities down by the deeply desired coast, and it is still quite large by Croatian standards.
“Shopping centres, colleges, high schools, almost everything is a 15-25 minute drive away, even in the case of heavy traffic. In addition, according to what I heard, the rent in Osijek isn't insanely high,'' wrote one Reddit user.
Some said that the surroundings of Zagreb are excellent when you look at the ratio of costs and the proximity of the capital itself. Zapresic, Samobor, Velika Gorica, Dugo Selo - all of these are places that offer a more peaceful way of life, reports Vecernji list.
Although some said that Dalmatia should be avoided because it is depressing in winter and overcrowded in spring and summer, there were those who praised the surroundings of Split.
''Trogir, Podstrana, Omis, Dugopolje… Very cheap accommodation can be found there, and the sea is only a few minutes away by car,'' Croatian Reddit users say.

Croatian Reddit User Tells Fellow Redditors What NOT to do in Croatia
September the 2nd, 2020 - Reddit is by far one of the most popular platforms online. Its own slogan ''The front page of the internet'' speaks for itself, and Croatian Reddit is a place in which a lot of funny memes and posts are born. One Croatian Reddit user created a post aimed at foreigners detailing things one should NOT do when in Croatia, and it has attracted the attention of many.
As Poslovni Dnevnik writes on the 1st of September, 2020, RTL reports that the Croatian Reddit user took it into his own hands when it comes to the education of foreign tourists who will soon be visiting Croatia. The post details what foreigners can, can't, should and shouldn't do when spending time in Croatia.
The user said that in Croatia, no foreigner should show the number "three" by lifting the first three fingers of their hand up at the same time - more precisely the thumb, forefinger and middle finger. One other Reddit user replied that such a display of this number of fingers at the same time was the equivalent of a greeting to Hitler in Croatia, which, while well known here, was likely a shock to many a would-be tourist.
The post sparked an array of varied responses from Reddit users from across the globe. When it comes to what you should and shouldn't do in other countries, non-Croatian Reddit users commented that the Czechs can appear to be very rude and cold, they stated that criticising the government is absolutely forbidden in India, the Scots said they should not definitely not ever be referred to as part of England, and one Colombian user wrote that it is forbidden to slam doors indecently when getting in and out of a car there.
