Oraj is a nice village above the town of Lovran with spectacular view to the sea. She also described some of the cultural values of the country, as well as a little bit about Croatian cuisine. Yoko Nishii is fluent in Croatian language. Near the end of the above video is a story about Doria Gabriae, daughter of Mrs. Vanja Gabriae, who was in the Metkoviae primary school when Yoko Nishii met her for the first time. Now, Doria is a master of origami (otherwise physician), and has organized several workshops of origami in the city of Mostar in BiH. This is one of the results of her acquaintance with Yoko.
