Montenegro report.

[JK.]

The tourist season is coming to an end.The weather is great but this will not be for long.
The Italian tourists love poker so there is plenty of it while they are arriving.
In Budva,the Gold Coast of Montenegro,three casinos hold cash and tournament games.
The Queen of Montenegro,Maistral and Kotor have good games.
There are plenty of home games and club games as well ,if you know where to look.
Right now the players are mostly,Italian,Serbian,Russians and the locals.
I must admit that the Montenegro women rival the Russians in looks.
In case you didn't know ,the people of Montenegro are the tallest people in Europe.

What do you think it is about Montenegro that breeds the very tall John?

[JK.]

Hi Strong Play.I have no idea but the Serbs,Croats and the Montenegro people are all big.Not very good Poker players though.
Their main game is soccer.
I must be the shortest Aussie Croat.Only five ft,eight inches.Almost a midget among the other Slavs.

John, the Dutch are the tallest people in Europe. Followed by the Danes

Dutch are the world's tallest - it's official | Metro.co.uk
Which Country Has the Tallest People?

Although this report has Montenegrins (aren't they just Serbs?) as the tallest:

Thanks Tsapy.I stand corrected.
I do admit that I have met some tall Dutch and Scandinavian guys but still in Montenegro,Serbia and Croatia I feel like a midget.
Montenegrans are the poor cousins of the Serbs.Serbs do treat them like Hillbillies.
I have no idea how they do the height study but I read somewhere that Montenegrans were the tallest people in Europe and the Watusi tribe were the tallest people in the world.
The most obese people were the Americans but are about to be caught up by the Aussies.
The loudest and the rudest people were the Americans and the most polite were the Scandinavians.
The best poker players in the world are the Aussies and the Kiwis
Thanks again Tsapy.Lets hear more from you.

Every Dutchie I have ever met has been huge. Russians all seem massive too, at least the ones I have met on the EPT and WPT.

[JK.]

Russians would make ideal Rugby players.Many are rather massive.Mostly muscle .
The women here are nothing like the Western propaganda used to describe them.
Ofcourse the old Babushkas are short and fat but the young women are something special.

I have to agree with you JK. We get a lot of russian (and other eastern euro) backpackers up here in tropical Qld. And the girls are smokin'.

[JK.]

I agree with you HeeHaw.There is something special about the eastern European women.
No matter how poor they are they take great care of themselves.

JK,

In a previous life in a previous century I was travelling around Europe in a Kombi Van when I found myself in Amsterdam ( for a bit of window shopping). I ended up in a pub, as you do, and while I'm not overly tall at 186cm I was rather disconcerted after making my way to the bar to realise I was the shortest person in the place including the women.

So I put my vote in there for the Dutch as some of the tallest in Europe and I'm fairly confident there's never been a production of SNOW WHITE and the 7 vertically challenged miners in Dutch theatres in recent memory.
