A Day in the life of Slovakian Charity
Before I leave Bratislava, I figured that I should post a typical day in the life of blog. Because I running out of time, I've resorted to pictures instead of words.
This first picture is of my building. I walk into the building every day and enter using my magnetic key. An older lady usually "guards" the door and makes us write down the names of visitors.
This next picture is of the lab group during the last outing. We celebrated Elena's birthday with a pizza party in her suburb. From left to right you see Micheal (studied at Purdue for three months last year, Bryce), Vladmir, Olga, Stano, and Elena.
Finally, here is a picture of the cafeteria where we eat lunch and take coffee break every day. During lunch, the line stretches to the door (where I'm standing), and the glass case is full of food. During coffee break (around 14:00 everyday), the building is almost empty. we ussually get a chocolate or fruit pastry (around 25-50 cents) and a cola or coffee.
Total cost: $1
Surprisingly, the 50 cent cake is usually excellent, although I recommend against the chocolate one with the white puff on top. Its a sneaky one. You would think that the fluffy white thing was soft...but it turns out...its solid with the consistency of sand.
Well, I wanted to post more photos, but Blogger won't let me. Instead, I'll provide a link to the picassa album. Enjoy!
