Florjančkov hram, Ljubljana, Slovenia

Florjančkov hram - a traditional, old style Slovenian gostilna (restaurant), with old style waitresses. Don't expect anything thrilling, but do come for lunch if you want to experience an era gone by. Vintage?

Aleš Župančič - Senior Asset Manager at PDP, CFA certified in Zagreb, about to start Slovenian CFA Society, born and raised in Ljubljana - Brinje, worked for Publikum, later Poteza (now Alta), did internship at McKinsey, used to train swimming in a team with Mankoč, with visible youth achievements in Yugoslav times, knows that Mankoč had to endure 7 not so successful years before breaking out of the back, practices tai-chi, inspired by visit to China in 1999, has a lot of ebooks, recommends White Coat Black Hat, and will one day make an example of a great turnaround while setting up a fund to help under-privileged youth in Slovenia. The sooner the better.

Restavracija Cirkus, Ljubljana, Slovenia

Restavracija Cirkus - already visited in 2010 when it was called Salon, it was recently re-crazied into a Circus scene. Still worth a visit and try. Hippitty hip. And not to be confused with one of the hottest night spots, also named Cirkus Klub.
