To continue where I left of - I took an overnight (understand arriving early morning 3am) bus to Taunggyi but somehow persuaded the driver to drop me off in Shwenyuang. The bus I took looked more like the one I expected before. During the travel I had to make up a boyfriend because one eager young boy wanted to chat with me but spoke little English and kept repeating if I was single. As expected I arrived in the middle of the night this time I was set not to take an overpriced taxi and wait to share or for pick up. I order green tea to keep me awake and was ready to camp. 5minutes later another bus stopped almost running over some of the taxi drivers who were standing around and eager Japanese stepped ... read more

Zuzka and I caught a flight from Bangkok in unholy hour. We almost froze at the airport – I don’t see the need to use the air con and freeze in building. I felt like walking into a fridge where it was about 15°C while outside it was nice 27°C and instead of staying inside we prefered sitting outside. The weather in Hanoi could not be different in was only 10°C so my cardigan and long trousers came handy because it was raining in Hanoi. Well everything what I had in my suitcase proved to be very handy during the stay since almost all the time I had everything on :) Soon after arrival we changed money – well we became millionaires in very short time. I changed 3000 Baht which gave me almost 2mil. Vietnamese ... 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

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

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
