I'm back!

Sorry everyone! I have been having blog trouble. But I had an amazing spring break, along with Easter.mi cooked for everyone in my flat. I made salad, veggie soup, pasta with meat sauce, drinks and my roommates made appetizers of the Slovak culture. (pickles, cream cheese, ham = so good!) it was quite successful and everyone loved it! They are not used to Italian holidays. Haha. Got a bit rowdy ! But The true Easter holiday here happens on Easter Monday (today). they celebrate a lot like we do halloween. They have open air markets filled with yummy nut and gluten foods haha but the tradition isn't a meal. The woman make junk food and cater to the men. Figures, right? Lol the men create whips, made of sticks and ribbons, and go door to door or walk around the market and whip the woman and girls. For the men, they whip the woman to make them look younger and in return they give the men a shot of slivoviska a plum brandy. They also squirt water, or pour water on the woman for good luck. Also, the young boys get chocolate instead of shots. It's quite the holiday here!

Worry I've been slacking!

Hey everyone, sorry for slacking on my posts. I have been on spring break since Wednesday the 21st. I wanted to wait to post so I could include pictures but I will give a brief summary and then I will post about each destination separately, therefore, you will have a lot to view! We started off in Paris, which I loved but was expecting more from all thr movies. Also, the prices were outrageous like 22 dollars for a hamburger! Needless to say we had to budget haha. From Paris we went on to Barcelona, which was amazing. Though it's not the Safest city, we stayed at a party hostel, which was in a great location. I met a retired NBA/pro basketball player, who took us everywhere for VIP (free everything) which saved my wallet! We went to the coolest clubs, met so many people, had the best experience of my life! After Barcelona we continued on to Venice, which I have visited before. We did a lot of shopping, I ate too much gelato, and we enjoyed gondola rides and dinners by the canals. After Venice we basically had a lay over in Milan, because we had a three euro flight from there to Budapest, where I currently am. We ended up no where near our hostel, had to take two buses and a cab to thehills of Milan, where we slept until our flight at 8am. Too bad I didn't see any of the city. Haha. Then we flew to Budapest, where I have been too tired from partying to fully enjoy it. But we made the best of it and and have been loving the beauty of it. We have seen the castles, markets, bridges, islands and etc.But when I have time ASAP I will post all photos and blogs for each city! Love and miss you all!

Astronomical Clock Experience

For my architecture class, I had to climb all the different towers in Prague. My favorite one was the old town hall, known as the astronomical clock. It was such a beautiful view over Old Town Square. I truly enjoyed the sight and was glad I experienced it!

the dam !

Sorry I havn't posted a blog in a bit. I had a wonderful weekend, and loved Amsterdam and Holland too much! I had the time of my life. I enjoyed looking at the falling buildings, loved the canals, and dodged every person riding a bike (everyone does). This was my favorite city thus far. We stayed at an amazing hostel, directly in the city centre. During our venture we made it to the Van Gough museum, the Anne Frank House, the Heineken Factory, Red Light District, and much more. I loved everything I saw. I was shocked by the Red Light District and thought it was hilarious watching the girls make deals with the men. haha. I loved how laid back everyone was, and how friendly. It was very fun, and an adventure for sure. Everything looks the same so of course we have our lost memories!

So everyone can stop worrying, i am doing much better! I stayed in most of the weekend to relax, and went out saturday night. We went to a bar called drunkin monkey where we enjoyed the rest of the night. Of course i loved it because monkeys are my favorite ever! But yesterday we decided to go to the local black light theatre and see a play called Aspects of Alice. It was a remake from Alice in Wonderland. It was the most amazing show i have ever seen! It was amazing how flawless they could be with the lighting and motions. it was so cool because the people and objects were all like levitating throughout the whole performance. It was definitely worth the money!
