The absolute shade of 'I'd describe those as hills' heheheh Slovenian mountains do go pretty hard tbf. Also the karst region of Slovenia is so cool and I never knew that region is where the name comes from!! I assumed the region was named after the rock not the other way around
💁‍♂️ tbf we have a three-way basic distinction anyway (gora 'mountain', hrib 'hill', grič 'hillock', though much like with hill and hillock you can make further diminutives from each of those too), which is something that happens when your hills and mountains are about twice as high as they are in Britain, for example :p
But yeah Karst (Kras in Sln., Carso in Ita.) is a limestone plateau in Slovenia and Italy where these phenomena were first studied and presented to the wider public in the 17th century – both to academic circles with Valvasor's publications, as well as more generally: the records of the first tourists in the Vilenica cave go back to 1633 (making it the oldest show cave in Europe). Because of that the region is also called Classical Karst, to disambiguate
In contrast to the South China mountains, a surface feature of karst topography (that's not to say there isn't anyththing else going on there, above- and underground), Karst is more well known for the subterranean features, caves and caverns full of stalactites and stalagmites, underground rivers and lakes – famously, the river Reka (which means 'river' in Sln.) goes underground in the Škocjan caves and surfaces as the springs of Timavo on the Adriatic coast; there are many other examples like that, also outside of the Classical Karst, like the seven names of Ljubljanica which we learn in school – seven different streams that were identified as one single river, going underground and resurfacing (at least) six times
the already mentioned Škocjan caves are also my favourite natural wonder 😌 (an underground canyon is kinda hard to beat tbh)

Guess: you played viola! (tell us more about working in the violin shop my interest has been piqued)
True, it was my first instrument. Working at the shop was cool, it had violins, violas, and cellos from student level to professional. Plus bows, strings, and other accessories. I was technically a salesperson but I had a lot of downtime to try out different instruments. Some days I basically got paid to practice, so that was cool. Thanks for asking!

8k is so popular! I've been on here years and never broken like 50 notes hehehehehe a blessing really, probably helps I almost exclusively reblog lol
tbh my contributions that had a bigger effect were additions to other ppl's posts, which nicely unloads the burden of getting notes on someone else 😁
but i mean, i definitely appreciate having a more limited public for my own posts, tumblr (not uniquely) is in this weird position of juggling being both public and private at the same time and that can be a challenge if the audience become too large
