I have bought a guide book of Croatia : Lonely Planet Croatia.
2 years ago I travelled Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Switzerland, Spain and Portugal. Next time I really want to visit Croatia, if possible on this new year holiday! But There is few Japanese book about Croatia, I had no choice but purchasing English Lonely Planet on Amazon.
Reading brief history of Croatia, I have found an interesting trivia about Croatia. Dalmatian dogs, famous of One Hundred and One Dalmatians, the name derives from Dalmatian region of Croatia. But according to the book, the origin of the breed are not certain, but the dogs may have been brought into Dalmatia by the Roma and used to guard the Dalmatian boarder.
I did not know the origin of the name Dalmatinan dogs till I read this book.
Few years ago , Apple Computer had sold Blue Dalmatian iMac. But it was unpopular, then it disappeared.
