people can snore in Bratislava...

...and this i know now for sure!:) not that i ever doubted it anyway. But anyway that doesn't make those people less nice, overall...cause in the moment when we're about 15 people that want to sleep and one of us wants to show us how loud he can be, or how small throat he has, for sure he's anything but nice, cute and wonderful:)
Ok, and now when i lost already all those that were bored, i can explain to you, the one that remained, what i am talking about:

It is already 1 week ago that we went to Bratislava for a short weekend in which we were planning on visiting the capital of Slovakia, on partying biiig time and on...finding good cosmetic saloons:) (it is universal known that the prices are much better than in our beloved and expensive Vienna). Well...if you ask me whether these goals were achieved (talking business already:) )...i would say about 53.2%! How did i reach this exact no? I will elaborate:
1. Visiting Bratislava - we, the happy gang, Olga, Luka and myself, decided we'll go before everybody else, to get to visit and to walk around also on Saturday. But what we forgot is that it's winter already and that by 4:30 pm it's already pretty dark. But anyway, we only got in Bratislava at around 5:30 pm...so what sighseeing to do? We learned that walking around in the city center doesn't take more than..30 min, especially when you're totally hungry. So, at my persuasions, we got to eat in a very Slovakian restaurant (not!) called La Rambla...as some of you might know already, it was very spanish, but i enjoyed a lot the salsa music in the background. So much that at a point i went and asked the waiters if there's anybody that dances salsa around here. At their negative answer, I started dancing by myself...lame? nice? cool? i enjoyed myself and this is what's important. (and also Olga and Luka were pretty embarrased with me - but it's ok, as it was only the beginning) Then we walked some more, laughed some more, sang some more, noticed how everything resembles Prague only that Prague is 100 times more beautiful and full of life, found everything closed and headed to the party.
The party all in all was ok, not too bad (good music, on my taste - but this was the problem, the music on my taste = oldies and latino, was not on the tastes of most, so a lot of the LBS people left soon). But going to sleep...that is the interesting part...this is what made all this trip worthy:)) We were told we're going to have a place to sleep, and to bring sleeping bags but if we don't have, we'll be provided with sheets and everything. Only to get there and discover that the place we'll sleep in is at the last floor of this building!
So you can imagine what great test had the organizers in mind: with all the free alcohol...drink as much as you can but after that...it's your business how you reach up there. Should i mention that there was a HUGE hole at every floor, by the stairs?:) fun fun fun. And also, we slept...on the floor...i don't know what is more on the floor than that...sqeezed in between girls (yeap, i know, other were luckier than me:) ) cause we didn't have enough sheets. no mattresses whatsoever anyway(this is why i said that i can fell my BONES!).
and with all these...also the nice guy i told you above...that woke us all up with his snoring...and here i was, the courageous one (cause this guy is by far the best built one among us) going to practically shake him. He stopped for a few minutes but we couldn't sleep anymore and we started laughing so loud and unstoppable that we woke the rest of the people up. But it was fun! These are the things i remember from the whole trip.

In the morning, after sleeping all in all about 3 h, we went visiting the city again, this time with a guide and with a group of about 10 people. Taking pictures in weird positions, drinking hot chocolate, visiting the synagogue, taking the bus back, sleeping in the bus, sleeping in the metro, laughing some more...and this was my last weekend.
Most of the pics i have uploaded here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=83334&l=af573&id=720410940
Ufff...such a long post already...and i wanted to tell u about the Klezmatics show and the Salsa congress on Saturday. But hey, out of all these you will get the idea i am only partying. Which honestly this time would be so far from the truth...really! again studying a lot, but liking the subjects, not having almost any free time in the weekdays but, mom, dad, i'm great!:)
