Long time since I've updated now. Was in Switzerland last weekend and didn't get much sleep this week either (!!) I'm off to Trieste, Italy now, to celebrate easter with Hungary, Czech rep. and Germany ;D Auf wiedersehen!... read more



Who tricked who??

I spent the morning trying to figure out how to trick someone in the office, but after all I became the victim. Pugy: The kitchen is not open today so there'll be no lunch. It's closed because of the rain. Mari: Oh, Ok... (I didn't even question how the rain could cause the kitchen to close!) ten minutes later (or was it before??) Mari: Pugy, did you trick someone yet? Pugy: Oh... Right, it's april 1st today... No, I didn't! Blah, I am always too late!! But we did eat lunch after all ;-)... read more

It seems like the weather is getting a bit lighter now - both outside and in my head. I am really not used to this much rain, fog and heavy clouds and I do feel that it affects my mood in many ways. It is a big plus that my cimra normally sleeps longer than me, because I don't think she would stand me in the mornings. It is also beneficial to have nice and cheerful people at the office and a coffee machine downstairs. I was really grumpy and tired when I got to work earlier this morning, but thanks to Pugy it lightened up :-) We had a long and useful discussion (read: conversation!) about previous and upcoming stuff. Reflections and planning, and I just filled in my self-made calendar :D The last days ... read more

Why is it so dangerous to open an umbrella in Slovenia? ... Because you might hit someone in Croatia...... read more

Today i realized that I have chosen quite a risky way to the office; I get off the bus at Hotel Lev. From there I pass the brewery and hit the gas station (I think it's a Hip Hop). This is a nice walk - the only harmful thing that can happen is that I get pooped on by some pigeon (or get hit by a car if I'm uncautious enough!) After I pass the gas station, I get to the four railway lanes and this is where it gets risky. I will not say that I almost got hit today, as that would be well exaggerated, but there was a train on its way to the station that I DID NOT take notice of before I had already crossed. That kinda made my thoughts wander... ... read more

Good Morning, beautiful Earth! This entry is for a short update on my last week. Pugy has been in Portugal and I've had the office to myself. It's been good, but quiet too! I've worked a bit on my language course, constantly trying not to focus on grammar because I know it'll make me too frustrated, and I've been doing some brainstorming on an eventual project. I have also discovered my own euroscepticism and realized that I need to learn more about the EU before I "make up my mind"... I have been ill (actually I still caugh at night), but I am very glad that my tonsils are removed (otherwise it would have been a nightmare)!! On Saturday I walked to BTC (from Rudnik.) I thought it was going to be a short, chill-out walk ... read more

Hi there. It's been a while since the last update now, but the days have been very busy. On Monday last week I went to Log pod Mangrtom (in North Primorska) for the on-arrival training. We were people from twelve different countries; Armenia, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Germany, Holland, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, France, Austria and Norway. On day one we did different ice-brakers and team building practices. We were divided into three groups and had a compete on different tasks. My group got stuck with a turtle game! After the session we even went back to complete the game and after two hours we made it. EVS's never give up ;-) At night we explored the local pub next to the hotel and Tuesday was mostly spent in the classroom and in the dining room. My ... read more

On Tuesday I had my first meeting with the scouts at Rašiški Rod in Gameljne. I got off the bus at the last stop, and they certainly knew I had arrived when they saw som kind of tourist taking random photos of the bus shed! I was surprised, and very impressed, that they actually held most of their meeting in English. They tought me some things about scouting; troops, patrols, structure and activities. It was informative and interesting and I hope to see more of these people. On Thursday I met up with Neza (it's supposed to be a Z with a roof on it, but my computer won't cooperate) and we went to a salsa party in the centre. It was fun, but I realized I have a lot to learn :-D The weather has ... read more
