You can ask your parents to create a Paypal account, my boyfriend and I bought a lot of things on eBay (electronics, DVDs, clothing, shoes, etc.) and we never had problems. I think that you can also use a normal bank account with Paypal(if you have one). There's great deals on this website, I bought 2 pairs of tie-die pants for $20, shipping included. You can go shopping in a bigger town (I never went to Croatia so I can't give you advice ). You can do tie-dye yourself, I once tried (as you can see here : [link]) and the result is cool! You only need a white t-shirt (scarf, skirt or whatever) and clothing dye (you can buy it almost everywhere for less than $10, I bought mine in a pharmacy). Here's a video that shows how to do it : [link] . There's different desings but the concentric circle is the easiest. Before dying your clothe, wash it at least 3 times. If you try, let me see the result!

About the books, one of my favourite is "The Catcher in the Rye" from J.D. Salinger. You can read it in english, it's quite easy to understand. You will love "1984" and "The Animal Farm" from George Orwell if you like "political novels". I also appreciate "The Stranger" from Albert Camus, it's an existentialist novel. There's also "The Metamorphosis" from Franz Kafka, you can read it online : [link] . There's also "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" from Lewis Carroll, "The Perfume" from Patrick Suskind", "Hollywood" from Charles Bukowski, "The Notebook" from Agota Kristof, "99F" from Frédéric Beigbeder and "The Alternative Hypothesis" from Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt. Did you read any of these? What books do you like?
