Well done

I used the oven! My friend Sam came to see central Slovakia. It was the perfect excuse to make apple crisp. The oven has terrified me since the day I moved in. To start it, I had to turn the gas on, push a button on the far right, and stick a lit match down the center hole at the bottom. I was shaking when I lit the match, but it was definitely worth it.

I showed Sam around Banská Bystrica on Thursday, and we planned to visit Kremnica on Friday. Somehow, we managed to miss three buses. I can't explain it. The platforms we were told to wait at didn't actually provide buses. It was unbelievable. So, we went to a movie instead. We saw Lions for Lambs. It had Czech subtitles. Only the movies for children are dubbed. The Simpsons Movie was recently dubbed into Czech. The Simpsons never speak Slovak. The Czech voices have become too familiar, and every Slovak understands Czech.
