After long time I am sitting in the office on saturday afternoon and have some time to spare. It is pooring rain outside which means I am stuck in the office which gives me the time needed to finally finish my blog. I am writing this with knowledge that my brother has finally enough money to come to visit me - HURRRRRRRA as we say in my langugage so more home food coming my way :) even though I have to say I love Well after the last time I posted something I went to Hua Hin (twice) and got nice sun tan. The sun tan is gone now so is one of my best friends who came to visit. The memories we created will stay though. Such as me riding a motor bike for the ... read more

Late but anyway I would like to talk about best Xmas in my life :) It was spent in Saint Ursula monastery in Bangkok – for those of you who do not know I attended elementary and high school in Bratislava called St. Ursula School. The school was managed by the St. Ursula convent. At first nobody in Slovakia wanted to give me contact on anybody within the monastery in Bangkok the reason being – they are very private. Finally when I contacted sr. Siphim she was so happy to help me as well as everybody else in the convent. Contrary to Slovak monastery the one in Bangkok is opened for others and helps people in Thailand. Before Xmas I attended school ballet performance which was very professional. I attended with nuns and it was special ... read more

This weekend I went with my friends –best colleagues in the world to Ko Samet :) It was difficult from my side to find the bus station but when I did trip could begin. The best place I have been to so far – with white sandy beaches, palms and turquoise water. The journey from Ekkamai took almost 5 hours. We went through fields of pineapples and pineapples – never ever seen so many if my life. Everywhere there were decorations ahead of His majesties birthday (I was told not to say anything bad about the royal family – but my question is why would I say anything bad when I have nothing against them?). Thailand is amazing – forests (when there aren’t fields of pineapples) and very green. If it wasn’t palms but pine trees ... read more

During my first week times were rough – getting used to the heat and waking up again early. I do not know what was worser. The heat was not as bad as everybody told me – not able to breath or live it was fine I even managed couple of walks instead of taking the MRT (metro). Do not take me wrong it is hot (over 30 degrees but the night are nice – around 24) but it is bearable but I do not know why I can not sleep properly – I wake up several times a night. But to my work – Iam sure m friends are curious what is it that I do, who are my colleagues, how they are and whether I like the work. To be honest I was worried when ... read more

Second part of my travel preparations was to finish all my vaccinations, buying tablet (so I could keep in touch during my travels) and new phone. :) My last vaccination was 4 days before departure. On Thursday I went to see Maja to walk with her and last efforts to do everything I did not have time to do before, I even squized cinema in– I went to see Breaking Dawn with my brother because my usual companion was not around and I could not think about anybody better to go with. Everybody during the day kept asking me whether I am already packed but to be honest I started packing at 20:00 and was finished by 21:00 -the charm of frequent flyer. The dilema than started because as usual I packet too much (instead of ... read more

Well where do I begin? In september I went on seminar with AIESEC so I could go abroad with them for an internship because I taught that before I settle and get an office job I should travel some more (I was never the one who could be at one place without moving too long). And about a month ago I got matched through AIESEC database with the Plant a Tree foundation in Bangkok. My first taught amazing Iam going to move to Bangkok but next morning my reaction was Bangkok really????? What have I got myself into. I rearch internet for the needed vaccinations and when I found out what I need I was like hell no - I already feel like pin- cusion :( So to this date I had 4 vaccinations - typhoid, ... read more
