It was really interesting doing my project on
Croatia. I found it interesting because I learned a lot
of new things. A lot of things I wasn’t even
expecting to learn. I feel I did very good on the
project. I spent a lot of time and effort. My opinion
on Croatia has changed since I first went to Croatia.
It is a very interesting country. There is a lot to learn
about Croatia.
I have been to Croatia 7 times. It is an important
part of my background.
