Foreign feminist

Happy International Women's Day! I went to Simona's house for lunch. Her mom made us potato pancakes. Wow. Every time I am invited to eat with Slovaks, I eat until I think I'll burst. I love the food, but the portions are intense. This was another recipe I'll try to recreate.

This evening, I went on a walk. Every woman I passed had at least one flower. It's nice that women are recognized today, but I don't think it makes up for the work they do all year. It's not easy being a Slovak woman. Men seem proud to have no domestic responsibilities.

Do you know any Slovak men I could talk to? I gotta figure out how they pull this off.

I jest... I guess that equality thing is a decent idea.
