It is believed that a break in one of the vats caused the explosion of wine

The Pittsburgh annual Slovak heritage festival for our citizens and people of Slovak descent in USA will be this year only virtual

 

 

 

btw @Olympian1010 look what they released. (anyway, it would be cool, if they somehow try to update a bit )

So, there are more people in America, than in actual Slovakia   I guess we have that in common.

@hckosice Huh, I didn’t think California would be #4 in terms of Slovak diaspora. That map definitely needs an update though. A LOT has changed since 1990 

 

To be honest, I don’t know of a culture that isn’t represented in California. Maybe a smaller country like San Marino or Eswatini perhaps...

So basically Angelina Jolie is Slovak-Dutch. Yeah, I think I'm gonna go with American, you know, being born there and all  

 

Else I might have to refer to myself as French-German-Belgian-whoknows if I go back far enough

yeah, obviously I don´t consider her slovak at all just to be clear. I don´t believe that about the majority of the people mentioned in this video

 

But, you know, the fact is that her grandfather (Jon Voight father) was actually Slovak (from Košice) so she she may have a tiny piece of Slovak blood in her

Tamira Paszek - herself Chilean-Austrian-Polish-French-Tanzanian-Kenyan-Canadian-Indian - is hardly impressed.
