The other day was a Serbian culture day in the Istria/Istrian Peninsula, where there were exhibits and dance performances in the center of the city of Pula.
Unfortunately, only the Istria is the only Serbian descent in Croatia today that can hold such an event without any harassment or police guarding. Historically strongly influenced by Italy, the Istra Peninsula, which is still the official language of Italy, is a peaceful coexistence of various ethnic groups and religious groups.

Announced that "JAL will hold Honolulu Marathon 2020" in Hawaii, where the new corona infection is the most dangerous state Hawaii in the United States Honolulu Marathon that has been held on the second Saturday of every December. A road race sponsored by JAL with nearly 30,000 runners participating every year. However, the mysterious content that the participation fee will not be refunded at all even if it is canceled. If the trip to Hawaii had been lifted at the end of the year, it would be admirable, but I earned money on the plane, earned the accommodation fee, earned the participation fee... Who's the marathon for? A Japanese who loves Hawaii with a pure feeling looks stupid.
