The Croat
If you are unfamiliar with this portion of Europe get ready for some real fun: the breed is striking in their appearance, and it is no secret that the modelling industry loves to come and steal some all the most beautiful for their own greedy capitalistic purposes. You will first be shocked by the great height of the people, particularly if they originate from the coastal region. Next are the unique facial attributes, curious for the blended Italian and Slavic features. An often heard remark of a visitor is "Holy crap, these are some beautiful people". Holy crap indeed. They are a lithe and svelte breed also, a certain result of again their healthy diet and the vast amount of walking that is integral to their lifestyle. You are likely to fall in love (and be painfully rejected) 3 to 17 times during your weekend visit. The operative word we'll use to describe them is 'natural'.
