Od Žmauca prijatl'ce / Friends of Žmauc

V soboto sva se z Eleno odločili, da si dan malo popestriva s sprehodom po Ljubljani. Pot naju je zanesla mimo meni zelo znanega lokala. Nikoli si nisem zapomnila celega imena, zato sem morala prav pogooglati, gre pa takole: Žmauc - Od Žmauca sosed pa ud brata prjatu. Tako! Na ta nekdaj meni priljubljen lokal v centru Ljubljane, me vežejo lepi spomini. V času mojega študija je bila to redna postojanka za kofe pred, med in po predavanjih, občasno pa še zvečer. Že takrat je bil to eden najbolj trendi lokalov, z najbolj cool muziko in nenavadnimi natakarji s še bolj nenavadnimi frizurami. Bil je mega tudi zato, ker ga je znotraj in zunaj porisal nam vsem poznani umetnik Natan. Še vedno se nostalgično spominjam duhovitih, stripovskih figur, ki jih žal ni več. Žmauc ima zdaj malo drugačno podobo in bolj redko me pot še zanese tja. Na novo prepleskana fasada je bila Eleni zelo všeč, zato sva zavili na kavico in zasedli najljubšo mizo ob oknu. Opazovala sem svojo malo punčko kako zadovoljno mlati smetanco in se pozibava ob glasbi. Bilo je luštno in zabavno kot včasih. Samo, da je zdaj vse drugače.

Last Saturday, me and Elena decided that we're going to have an entertaining walk through Ljubljana. We wondered by a very familiar spot that has a very interesting and long name that I could never really remember. Even now I had to google it and it is: Žmauc - Od Žmauca sosed pa ud prata prjatu (Žmauc - Neighbor of Žmauc and friend of a brother). Their you go! I have some nice memories about this very popular place in Ljubljana centre. This was a regular coffee stop before, between, and after the lectures when I was studying, and occasionally I would be hanging there in the evenings as well. Back then this was a trendy place, playing the coolest music and very unusual waiters with crazy hairdos. Special treat of the interior and facade are paintings of an artist that is known to all of us - Natan. With a bit of nostalgia I can remember the funny, comic book characters, that are now, sadly, painted over. Žmauc has a different look now and I don't hang out there as much as I used to. Elena liked new facade very much, so we stopped for a quick coffee and sat at my favorite table by the window. I've observed my little girl, enjoying her portion of whipped cream while grooving gently to music. It was delightful and fun as in the "old days".  Only now ... everything is different.
