Evo naletio sam na kratki sažetak pojmova koji se čuju na brodu pa mi se učinilo zgodnim za podijeliti. Inače, bilo je već riječi o nepoznavanju stručnih riječi pa mislim da je ovo dobro mjesto da netko pita što ga zanima.

Moji troškovi do sada:

60 kn - Marlins
150 kn razvijanje slika (portfolio i za dokumente)
50 Eur put do ZG na interview
850 kn D1- postupci u slučaju nesreće
400 kn - nova putovnica
1450 kn liječnički u Rijeci (liječnički + vakcina + slikanje pluća 100 kn u drugoj klinici)

Još mi slijedi do odlaska:

60-70 kn pomorska knjižica
100 Eur VIZA + put u zg
Karta avionska (sigurno 500 Eur)
??? nešto što sam možda zaboravio

...tako da svaka čast vama koji govorite da vam sve dođe 750 Eura, jer mene će sve doći cca 10 000 kn ( 1370 Eur cca), možda bude nešto manje ali ne zavaravam se. Uvijek uleti neki neplanirani trošak tako da mislim da treba biti realan kada se računa sve. Manje može biti ako ne radite novu putovnicu (kao ja) ali mislim da je u principu računica jednostavna, a ta je da ću raditi dva mjeseca da vratim lovu. S tim da ne plaćam kartu za natrag.
