social week

I had a very social week last week. on wednesday harald's granny had birthday and so I went there right after my classes. well, actually I left in the middle of the portuguese lesson, as we were squeezed into a really small classroom where the air was just horrible after the first 45 minutes. anyway, I knew what was expecting me: a lot of food. luckily I was had missed the coffee (and cake, of course) and therefore I was still able to move after dinner (and cake, of course), unlike on easter.

on thursday clemens and rianna had invited me for dinner. it wasn't just a dinner (which was delicious, by the way, thanks clemens!) but also a game night. as you might know, I don't play, but I did play that evening.

the next evening I had my dancing class again. I felt slightly bad about myself for skipping the class after venice, especially as I had promised maria to go out for a drink after the class. this time maria didn't show up. after the class harald picked me up and we went to julia's birthday party. we were really lame guests, I must admit. we sat on the sofa nipping on our own wine and talking to no one. I mean, there were other seats around us, but everyone seemed to prefer standing. I can't change that. on our way home we stopped at mcdonald's and wasn't that great! I can't remember the last time I ate at mcdonald's. I'm not a big fan or anything, but after more than seven months (it's possible I ate at mdonald's in the summer) I needed some junk food. I suppose it's more psychological than anything else... ;-)

the saturday I spent in bratislava with paulina, stefanie, clemens and rianna. there are loads of pictures of that day on facebook. it was a very nice day, indeed. we were lucky with the weather, the food was good and cheap, and we also had a small adventure. visiting bratislava from vienna has been made very easy. the return train ticket costs 14€ (12€ with a vorteilscard) and it includes all public trasport in bratislava. we had a great lunch in the old town and the huge portion and a coke cost me about 7€. I also had an ice cream (one scoop about 30 cent). the journey takes about an hour by train. I'd say the day was well worth it. next week jaana is coming here and I'm taking her to bratislava, no matter what. in the evening I would have had another birthday party to go to, but as both harald and me were very tired, we decided to stay home.
