Ahoj Trencin!
Last monday I arrived here in Trencin, Slovakia. It was a quite long journey, I flew from Hamburg to Warschaw and to Bratislava. There I got my first impressions of this really nice country. I had to find my way to the hlavna stanica and then a way with the train to Trencin. But it was quite easy, so everyone was really helpfull and everyone asked me if they can help me with my luggage or something.
At the trainstation Marta and Peter from my organisation KCA picked me up and we went to my firt own flat by car. My flat, wich is situated in the JUH is really nice and svetlý and I was really happy about my big skrina :)
Really tiered from the long journey I went early to bed and met with Marta and Peter the next day. They showed me the very big center where I work and the way to the Juzanka shopping center. Also we had to buy a carpet for the big but yet empty living room.
I think I never met so many helpful people at one place! The last week I met a lot of new people like Kristina, a girl my age who studies here in Trencin. Also all people at my work are really nice and they are trying to speak german sometimes wich is really sympathic. I have to improve my slovak really fast, because I want to communicate with everybody here in the aktivity center and also in the town.
Kristina showed me the old city of Trencin wich is really pretty and by now I also know my way around. First it was really hard to find the way to my work but I know one of the most important sentences in slovak: Kde je kulturne centrum aktivity? So there are always helpful people around and I fell like home, but still a bit lost because the flat is really big for me alone. But that will be better in a week. The slovak people are really hospitable, so my chef Svetluska gave to me really delicious fruit and vegetable from the own garden wich I ate yesterday for dinner. I also tried a really good other slovakian dish wich is kind of a sweet dumpling I ate with powdersugar and Quark.
Last week was really calm in the center but now that the holidays are over it's getting really busy at work. I am preparing my presentations about myself and for my work at the hotels academy and also I am starting to prepare something for my nemecky- klub wich I will held here in the KCA.
So I will see what the next week will bring!
Dovidenia :)
