Jošt Derlink (1990)

The last but not least of thematically related articles is Oblačilnica dela (the working dressing-room/ dressing-room of work), located close to Gostilna dela (check out the article). It’s also a part of Tovarna dela – unit for textile. The goal of Tovarna dela – Tekstil is teach about the importance of separate disposal of old clothes and textiles, the establishment of a functional system for collecting old clothes and new “green” jobs for young unemployed and older unemployed women.

In Oblačilnica dela they sell used and redesigned clothes. For the official opening they prepared an event “A date with another dress”. I have always liked to wear used clothes, knowing that before I got it, it already had a long journey packed with adventures and that gives them great value, immeasurable with money. Knowing that here by getting something you like, you are also helping someone, puts everything on a higher level.

Here you can also buy products from Projekt Človek with the collection ‘Izdelki iz koše’ (products from dumpster) and Kralji ulice.

I love everything about vinyl records. I love the sound, the fact that you have just the most special songs on vinyl contrary to thousands of MP3 on your computer, I also like it when my friends are surprised that my old gramophone is still working:).

One of the things I love is also to browse in small packed 2nd hand record shops. You go in with maybe just a thought what you want, but you always get something special. And the most exciting part is when you’re on your way home and you just can’t wait to listen to it.

VOM 2nd hand record shop is one of the spots where I can fulfill my vinyl love and also the place where I bought my first one. Listening to jazz on gramophone…what else can you want in your life! It’s also a good place for special Ljubljana souvenirs. Why would you buy some lame tourist souvenirs, when you can buy old Yugoslavian evergreens on a vinyl which is probably older than you:).

When it comes to fast food, Ljubljana fails at the diversity test. You can divide almost all places into 3 categories: burek, kebab and McDonald’s (the only fast food chain from the West). On Trubarjeva Street you can find a small but important exception: falafel.

I’m not a fan of kebab, definitely not a fan of overpriced fast food chains and I’m not in the mood every day (or night) for burek (although I love it), so falafel can be quite handy.

This falafel place is also somewhere in the middle between Prešeren square and Metelkova and Rog (check the Metelkova article), so it’s a good place to stop.

Sunny days are back! It’s time for relaxing at Ljubljana finest beach.

Trnovski pristan is a popular destination among young generations and how could it not be. The stone stairs designed by JozePlecnik offer the perfect seats and there is also a nice surrounding with Ljubljanica river. Just add your best friends, maybe a radio or a guitar and you will have a perfect night!

Just clean up after yourself because at daytime, Trnovski pristan is an important place for jogging and relaxation. In summertime there is also a library under treetops and you can sit on a chair, read a book and just enjoy the sunny weather.

A few years ago I went to France for 2 weeks, I nearly always bought my lunch or snack in bakeries – boulangeries. When I left the country I knew I would miss those bakeries, but then I remembered that we also have one of those in Ljubljana!

Bakery Žak (Jaques) is located near Slovenska street in a bulding called Metalka and there you can buy some of those French pleasures. Early in the morning you can get different kinds of croissants, pain au chocolat etc and also great baguettes and sandwiches…

It’s best to go here before noon because later you may find 2 leftover croissants and one sandwich, because it’s quite a popular spot among locals.
