Hudajužna is a nice place!!!




My village, Hudajužna is a small village with about 100 inhabitants. At the begining of the 20th century there was a railway station, a hotel, all kinds of craftsmen were here. There was also a primary school, post office and two shops. But things have changed, people have to drive to work every day either to Nova Gorica, Tolmin, Jesenice or Cerkno. Primary school is in Podbrdo after that, teenagers have to go to Tolmin, Nova Gorica, Jesenice or Ljubljana to study and to find a job.

The translation for Hudajužna would be bad or hard lunch . The story says that about 500 years ago, at noon when men were out on the fields and women were cooking lunch, Turkish army came and because of their reputation, everyone had escaped to the mountains. But since lunch was so delicious, the Turks didn't do any damage to the village and they just left.

Bača valley


Bača valley is approximately 30 kilometers long narrow valley, more like a ravine. Bača river has many tributaries that can cause many problems, as seen about a month ago when there was a flood in this area. On it's northern side there is a mountain range called Bohinjske gore and on the south there is a mountain range called Cerkljansko hribovje. On the slopes of that ranges, above the bottom of the valley there are many interesting and picturesque villages with interesting history.
There are only six villages at the bottom of the valley. Podbrdo is the biggest village with a bit under 800 inhabitants. The valley used to be very important since there was a national border between the kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes and Italy called Rapalska meja ( Rapal border).


At the begining of 20th century an important railway was built, that has connected Bača valley with Bohinjska bistrica and Ljubljana. On that railway is the longest railway tunnel in Slovenia, from Podbrdo to Bohinjska bistrica.


Climate varies from north to the south and from the bottom to the higher levels of the valley. Winters are cold and can bring plenty of snow, summers are usually warm, due to the influence of warm air coming from the Mediteranean sea.

In 1948, first Slovenian movie was made in the Bača valley.

I and the internet!


I used internet for the first time in primary school. I was surprised about the huge amount of data that can be found there. I’ve created my first e-mail account, but the most often used program was mIRC chat. At home we did have a personal computer but it didn’t have an option and the necessary hardware to connect to the internet. Otherwise, connection speed was ok for that time but looking back, I can’t imagine internet connection nowadays with connection speed that low!
In secondary school I decided to buy myself a new personal computer with all the hardware I needed to connect to the internet. It was very useful during the school years because I found a lot of information about the things we were learning in school, on the internet. I used it to upgrade my knowledge!


Nowadays, I can’t imagine life without it! It is a necessity at the faculty, since professors put all their lessons on the internet, all the literature we need for the exams also there we can find all the dates for the exams and the grades we get.



So, I don’t imagine everyday life without the internet. The number of users is increasing and also, they start using it very soon. It is developing very fast, connection speeds are getting higher; a lot of data can be transferred in just few seconds. But on the other hand, despite all the good things it brought to our lives, it can and it is used by some to harm others, to take their money and things like that! So, like everywhere else, we have to be careful while using the internet.
