On Thursday, I went bowling with the people from the car dealership. ĽThere are many double standards for men and women. The women never speak in class, and they laugh at the lousy sexist jokes the men tell. When we were bowling, Marek asked me what I wanted to drink. "We drink beer, and the girls drink wine." I smiled and ordered a beer. Ľubo gave plenty of advice on bowling. There seemed to be a little pressure to let him win. He drank plenty of beer, and by the third game, I was the only person still focused on bowling. With a score of 106, I won! Obviously, they are not very competitive bowlers.
At the orientation in September, I met Richard and Kathy. They are from Delaware, and they're living in Nitra this semester. I went to visit them yesterday. They are delightful. It was nice to see Nitra and to visit with them. They call me their "Slovak daughter." I'm happy to be adopted.

Way to show up the boys! And look at the size of that ginormous beer! Holy smokes!
So were they sore losers about it? Or did they take it like men? *giggle*
It is interesting how one's culture differs from one's culture across the globe. Lucky you to have been able to experience some.
And I like reading your posts :-)
