Žilina

Well, going to Zilina was an adventure. Not an adventure actually. I don´t know how to call it.

I was hitchhiking from Nitra. The guy did not speak English and I didn´t speak Slovak/Cz/Polish/Russian/etc. There is more to come to that story, but I am not going to write it. When people asked me if something had happened while I was hitchhiking I always said no. But now I can´t say it anymore.. Fucking arse. Nothing happened, I was just frightened and surprised because I thought those are just stories lets say. That fat disguisting man dropped me off at Prievidza and I was really happy to get out. I was scared to hitchhike again, but I did it. Second guy was okay, did not have the same language again :D I was scared that he wants something from me aswell, but he didn´t. Luckily. We went to eat together actually :D

It was super fancy place, probably the fanciest place I have even been to #Maakas

Bloody crosses on the doors #Atheist

Da toilet

And some free stuff #CheapBitch

He dropped me off and once again I was hitchhiking. 3rd guy also was okay (he didn´t know where Estonia was...) and ofc he didn´t speak English.. All the Slovakkians don´t speak English or what? In Serbia I was pleasantly surprised that so many people spoke English.

The last guy dropped me off next to the building where my host volunteers. Met up with Lucas, the guy I was staying with (#CouchSurfing). Drank Kofola (Cz Coca-Cola), went to eat and went to have a cuppa of tea. The tea place was so cozy :) At his place we watched a movie called Mr.Loney. The movie didn´t make sence to me

Next day Lucas showed me the city. Burgher houses

Some square

Magic bar

I was thinking to go up to the hill, but for some reason I didn´t.. Main square

The church of 3 principals

Went to one art show where they showed how the process goes step by step

Went inside to nova synagoga

Once it was used as a cinema aswell, now it will be a culture house

From outside looks the same as now

Went to another exhibition. Sah small piano

It was really hot weather so we went to have a drink

Lol in da toilet. Hey fatty boom boom

As I remember, there was a guy up there which looked like Lenin

Went exploring, saw some trains which doors were open

Didn´t want to spend too much time inside, cos I was afraid the doors will close :D

Went with Lucas to the place he is voulnteering in. We took a shortcut and crossed some train tracks

I was in Zilina for 2 nights and on the last morning, me and Lukas hitchhiked to Tatra mountains. He had couple days off so he joined me. We walked to the end of the city and thumbs up. Waited quite long, but was worth waithing. Off to Tatra mountains!
