A Moment in Time with the <strong>Balkan</strong>s<br />
In October 2015, my wife, daughter and I were in the <strong>Balkan</strong> state of Croatia for work cum holidays for a few<br />
days. I was scheduled to present a keynote paper at the 9<br />
th<br />
International Symposium on Plant-Soil<br />
Interaction at Low pH (9<br />
th<br />
PSILPH) in Dubrovnik, Croatia on October 18-23, 2015. It was a perfect holiday for<br />
me and my loved ones for we have never been in that locality in our life time. To get to Dubrovnik on time<br />
for the symposium, we had to first fly to Frankfurt, Germany by Lufthansa, had a 4 hours break at the airport<br />
(Plate 1) and took off to Dubrovnik by Croatian Airlines.<br />

Croatia is a country of more than 1000 islands, with many visitors going there in summer for holidays,<br />
especially to the old city of Dubrovnik (Plate 2). This city used to be the playground of the rich and famous<br />
during the middle ages. Lately, however, Hollywood movies among the like of The Games of Throne were<br />
filmed in the city and these have attracted many more tourists to visit the ancient city.<br />
