Just to let you know

It was a long time ago when I posted here last time. The reason is not, that nothing happened. On the contrary, maybe too much. And yes, I haven’t writing inspiration. Sometimes it’s hard to write my feelings in English. But right now, I try to summarize, what was in the last almost three months. But not for sure, in timeline.

In the beginning of November I moved my new flat… to my own Kingdom. It’s a small flat, but I really like it.

And till the end of the year, here were many event in Gustaf. I worked sometimes, and of course sometimes I just went to have fun…. or both. One day for example I was the light master during the concert, and other day I was barmen during Yoga Rave. But I was ticket seller too. It is always funny, cause usually the visitors didn’t know, that I can’t speak Slovenian, and they were surprised when I said: “in English please”.
Somebody actually was hurt in the first time, cause he was from abroad, but told me something in Slovenian, but I didn’t understand. And we had a conversation like this:

Guest: - I tried to speak with you in your language.
Me: - Why do you think, it was in my language?
Guest: - Why, are you not Slovenian?
Me: - No, I’m not, I’m from Hungary …

So.. yes, this two month was really diverse with really much experience.

But the EVS life is not only about Pekarna. I travelled a little too. The on-arrival training was in Goriška Brda, I celebrated the new year’s eve in Ljubljana, and last weekend I was in Slovenske Konjice. And yes, it was perfect. I could see other places, and met new people too.

Well, that was, and in January we started to clean Gustaf, and make some new order inside the concert hall.
The programs will be continued from 21st of January … so I think, I won’t be bored.

I will write here later … peace
