Bratislava Welcome Pack

Hi guys, I'm sorry it took me so long to report anything but I've been so busy since I arrived last Friday I haven't even found a time to write in this kind of diary -until now. I'll make just a little scheme so neither you or I got tired reading/writing, lol.

- Friday: waking up at 6:15 a.m. in Seville and finally arrived in Vienna around 2 p.m. One suitcase (the small one) was lost and I was a little in panic (my laptop was there), but it's finally back. Bus to Bratislava and a organization colleague (kind and caring Olga) was already waiting for me at the station. She took me to my flat, showed me the surroundings and let me on my own so I could unpack and rest a little.

- Saturday: after 12 hours resting, I woke up and met my flatmate, Stephi (curly short blonde, very funny french girl). Olga took me later to Aupark, huge shopping centre only 15 minutes away. I got a proper winter coat I've been using ever since -sales price, yay!

- Sunday: 'blind date' with my menthor (Slovak friend), Dasa. She guided me into the castle part in the morning, took me for lunch into Slovak Pub where I tried typical Slovak dish (pirôžky), later to a really particular tea house (tree of bones in Slovak), and later walking trough all the city center and surroundings. Really nice sunny day, really nice girl. Olga came by my flat in the afternoon and gave me my suitcase back.

- Monday: I had a free day because my EVS colleague was only arriving after midday, so I decided to visit my friend Toni -guy from Liechtenstein who is studying in Bratislava twin city, Vienna. He guided me all around this beautiful city and took me lunch for Schnitzel (typical Austrian dish, altough for Spanish people would look like 'filete empanado'). Pity of the weather -it started raining more heavily-, I left early back home to meet Matiss -flatmate, EVS co-worker, young energetic Latvian guy.

- Tuesday. Today Matiss and I had our first Slovak course lesson. For me it's been quite strange, all the different sounds Slovak alphabet has, but I'll get use to them. Later we had an 'organization lunch' in Slovak Pub again (where I tried another typical dish with very tasty national cheese, bryndza), and we got to know INEX offices -really nice workspace for next 11 months, all colourful and creative- and staff -friendly and relax people. We also had a presentation of the organization and our tasks, but that will be in the next post -when I tell you how amazing it actually is and how happy I am of being here, haha^^.

Hugs everyone,

Dobrú noc!
