Gostilna Štorklja, Ljubljana, Slovenia

Gostilna Štorklja - European, Chinese, fusion. Close to maternity ward, hence the name. Popular with students. Good location, good food, recommended.

Maja Bresjanac - Teacher and Scientist at Faculty of Medicine in Ljubljana, born in Čačak, parents architects moved to Celje and later Ljubljana, where she quickly adapted, picks dialects on the go, her father had five brothers and all had only sons, Bresjanac name origin linked to village Bresje in Kosovo and an alleged dispute between a particular head of Stojanović family and a particular Turkish agha over a beautiful daughter a long, long time ago, she recently gave a talk at TEDxLjubljana, neuroscience is her field of work, play and joy, wanted to be neurosurgeon, but being a female is still too big of an obstacle in male dominated neurosurgeons fortress, research proved somewhat easier in that regard, but with lots of room for improvement, used to practice fencing, tapestry, Irish dance and Argentinian tango, now hiking, biking and kayaking, some of it with her daughter, is slowly reading through Opium, totally recommends Gödel, Escher, Bach and will one day - through initiatives like  Sinapsa - raise Slovenian brain awareness and neuroscientific   community even further. For the benefit of the society at large.

Next in line. A good chew.
