Dobar dan means “good day” and is the greeting you can never go wrong with.

The story continues through Dubrovnik: it is hot, you step into a cool bar and greet the room as you enter – that is the “day” in the image. There is a tin on the counter for tips. After your cold drink you throw something in, and the landlord thanks you. Tin, bar and thanks give you dobar dan.
