My host was MIA today so I decided to set out and explore the city on my own. I have to say that I really hated Bratislava at first, I thought the city was dirty and messy, and boring. It turns out that I was correct, about my part of town. I went back to the city center this afternoon and took the time to really explore the old town. Its actually quite nice and modern with a pedestrian only zone for about 25 city blocks. Trams run along the Danube and through parts of the zone. The Pedestrian zone is paved with bricks and kept very clean.
The city also plans lots of events downtown too. Today I walked in on a wine tasting party. Vineyards from all over the country offered tastings for 10Kr (about 75 cents). You could rent a wine glass for 50 Kr ($2) and then visit one booth after another. The tasting were 50 mL which doesn't sound like much, but can add up quickly. Hence why I only tried two (very excellent) wines. I stopped trying wines when a rather boisterous group of Australian men tried to hit on me. I quickly ran to the other side until they had enough "tastings" to annoy everyone else in the party and finally get kicked out. Phew...that was annoying. Anyways....
After the wine tasting...I visited the main square and ordered boiled corn from a street vendor who then proceeded to give me corn and then ask for my number....what is it with this town....do they think they can hit on any woman? Anyways...I want to write more but I think I have to leave before I get eaten by dogs...more on that another time. Do videenya!

Wow, sounds like an eventful day. Were the men hot that were hitting on you? ;)
Sadly...they weren't hot at all...actually pretty scary, especially the Australian ones.
What about the dogs?!!!!
