Dasa and Neja and I at David and Katka's wedding. Dasa (far left) is a girl I see probably once every 5 months....She is really a fun girl and I just wish I knew her better! For more pictures of Davids wedding you can go to his website http://www.davidinslovenia.com/gallery/
In other news Anna and I went to Ikea yesterday. We thought it closed at 7pm and were thrilled that we got there at 5pm (its in Austria). Come to find out they actually close at 5pm. Anna and I sprinted through the store--thankfully we knew already what we wanted--and within about 15mins had a couch, a chair, some pillows, a rug, and a shower caddie. I think it was the quickest Ikea trip EVER! I look at my living room and feel like Im living out of a Real Simple Magazine---or maybe Ikea magazine---Pictures of our new living room still to come...
Often there is a bit of confusion as to where I actually live...At times in the States I will talk to people and they will say things like...."Ohh I have friends that live in Slovakia! I wonder if you know them?" or "So what is life in Slovakia actually like?" . Im not really sure how to answer these questions, if I lived in Slovakia I might. However, I live in Slovenia. There are definitely a lot of similarities however. For your enjoyment... (click on the image to enlarge).
I havent gotten internet in our new apartment yet. So I come to a coffee shop with free wireless almost daily. Coming to a coffee shop regularly has its advantages and disadvantages.
The waiters know your usual.
Wine is cheaper then Water.
You know the best times to come..they often have parties at night so I come in the morning hours...less people.
I get in on more of the highschool gossip.... I watch who is getting coffee with who, exciting stuff!
Oh and you get to be friends with the waiters. Which again has advantages and disadvantages. Anna and I stopped by one night to talk to one of the waiters. He's, one of those guys who is really sweet, "oh bless his heart"... Anyway, we stopped to talk to him because we noticed he had been working at least a 10hr shift. And I think it looked as though we were two of his fans...the owner and one other waitress were in the back giggling at us as we talked with him. Ah well...so goes life...
At least its free internet!
