Brastilava, Slovakia


Traveling to the eastern side of europe isnt as daunting as i first thought it'd be, sure ive heard stories about them being less wealthy and everything, but at the end of the day, they are still part of europe, the same medieval town, adorned with castles and churches and gigantic cathedrals, monuments and fountains and obelisks and parks, and yeah, the obligatory river that cuts the city in half, one side more developed than the other, and in our case here, the magnificent Danube...it makes me hum Strauss' everytime i sees it...

there are certain changes nevertheless, let's just say traveling from Vienna to Brastilava is alot like traveling from Singapore to Johor Bharu, for those who's done that route, you know what im talking about...it's really a rude surprise though, all of a sudden things just arent so pretty anymore, everything is everywhere, rubbish strewn across the countriside, and the train station was madness...

but looking past all that, you will see a beautiful country before you. The slovakians are such friendly creature, always eager to help, and the fact that their english literacy is higher means they dont struggle during conversations, and oh, they are so cute...

Currency exchange works to my favour as well, and probably why im falling in love with east europe...we were at the bar yesternight and Half a litre of beer costs less than a euro...talk bout being in heaven...

will leave the beautiful people and head for czech next...
