One Year

Can you believe it has already been one year since Paul and I got married? Neither can I. And 11 years now since we first met each other. Geez. Anyway, even though I'm far away from him and you guys (I'm assuming the only people who read this blog are people who were at the wedding) I am filled with so so many happy memories from that day. I really couldn't ask for better friends and family!

Things Slovaks say

(Warning: this post makes my English sound outstanding).

"There are too many teepos in this article."

"Roman and Miro love tennis. They play as a duet."

"You see all the rivers and the lakes? Well, there is also undercover water."

"The castle [of Bratislava] was burnt by Napoleon, the bastard! In the fifties, under Communist times, they reconstructed it, but it's ugly, all conquered."

"M: So we go to this goose restaurant. They have all the delicious gooses.
C: Geese. When you have more than one goose, you call them geese.
M: What? No. That's too... No, no, no. Okay, how about this: So we go to this goose restaurant. They have all the delicious goose and her friends.
L: That's right. Geese is only for family."
