So i hitchhiked to Banska with minimal difficulty, the people are very comfortable with hitchhikers and they have often done it themselves before they own a car, and as i understand later, the goverment encourages such mode of transportation and used to offer rewards to drivers who pick up hitchhikers in those days.
Slovakia is famous for its mountainous landscape with friendly and approachable people. I stayed with Katarina and Peter and they brought me out to savour cheap slovakian beers. As it is, the Slovakians are giving up their currency and will start using euro in two months' time, so im really lucky to visit the country before it gets expensive!
I then headed on to Budapest which is gonna be the highlight of my travel. Ive always wanted to visit the city and i know im gonna have a good time with szabi my ex-roomie bringing me around. We used to have great fun when we were sharing a flat in the hip area of Hackney and then he had to go back to hungary to kickstart his bachelor's degree in Uni (he's my age!). I like that we share the same philosophy in life and that there are so much in common between us.
so even though he's got exams going on, szabi was bringing me all over budapest to the best clubs and bars and the trendiest place in town. We met some of his friends and they are all as cool as I am... :p
I was really depressed on the last night because i was going on a london-bound flight back to the gloomy and stormy land, but u know what, good things dont last, so why not just get on with it and not look back. At the very least memories are there to stay...
im just happy that ive made some valuable friendships that are gonna last for a long long time to come...
and also because ive gotten lucky in budapest... :p
