Yesterday, I went to my school for a "meeting." There was not a lot of business, but there was a lot of laughter and a lot of wine. I couldn't understand most of the people, but I can tell they're very likable. Sometimes my mentors Beata and Jana would translate. They have been very helpful.
The smallest things seem worthy of celebration. This morning, I figured out how to use my washing machine. I was delighted. I also found the way to my school. It's not complicated- there are no turns involved- but when I got there I felt like I'd conquered the world. It's been a lot more rewarding than frustrating so far. I hope that continues!
The food is quite good. I bought Granko... you mix it with milk to make chocolate milk. Marta's brother helped me get groceries. I asked him if they had any low-fat yogurt. He said it didn't taste as good and, "You don't get fat from eating yogurt." Good point... He also showed me the bread that "every Slovak misses when they leave." So now I know what Marta meant. I am going to walk around and read in a park now! Čau!
This is my flat. I live on the 6th floor... in America, it would be the 7th.
The town square is beautiful and filled with people. Most of them are eating ice cream.
Inside my flat... My kitchen has a lovely view.
This is my bedroom/livingroom. The toilet gets its own room!

Nice blogging, Mandy! I especially like the enlargeable photos. I'm so happy you're adventure is off to a great start.

Your bed looks bigger than it did on your puter. Town square looks awesome. I can't wait to see it in person!!!
Marta's flat is darling, but not quite as cute as yours. ;-> So why is everyone always eating ice cream in the town square? Is it very hot there?
