Some quirky things about Croatia - Nothing is free!



Just one to start off with. Look at the receipt from MacDonald's in Croatia really carefully. Notice something strange? Yes, if you dine at MacDonald's in Croatia, you will have to pay 2 kns (equivalent to 20 GB pence) for a pack of Ketchup. The same applies for Mayonnaise, BBQ sauce and all the other condiments.

This is our first time in MacDonald's here. It is so scary how no one cares that they are overcharged or charged for something that don't exist elsewhere in the world!

And to end off somemore quirky things about this land, if you ever travel to the south of Croatia in summer, be prepared to pay 100 kns for a plate of Fruit Salad. I'm telling you.. there are plenty of cases like this around here! So watch your pocket while on a Croatian "dream" holiday!!

Sher, it's the same here. Packs of ketchup, mayo. Even the small cheap plastic bags to carry your groceries in, you have to pay.

gosh... money for something so small.. its being an opportunist I guess.. lol it's a good thing that we still get ketchup and such free here... though now owning a car and traveling may take on a whole new meaning with all the gantries their petting up... >_<
