Who am I?
I´m 20 years old girl who recently moved out from small slovak village to the "city" of Brno, in Czech republic. My purpose here is to get sucked by the med school, but I also do some stuffs that are not necessary; like discovering local bookstores, secondhands and drugstores and roam around with my boyfriend.
What do I like?
Reading, studying (even though I am nervous from school, I can´t really imagine doing anything else), admiring dogs and cats in the streets, cooking and baking. Also libraries, I love them a lot and there are many interesting ones for spending productive time here,in Brno.
What is the purpose of the blog?
Take up my small portion of the cyberspace and express myself....somehow.
Why did I think my life is interesting enough for a blog?
Brno is not just a town, it is a lifestyle. Also since I came here my life got upside down, but in a good manner.
Now I´m not sure, whether this is some kind of FAQ or just written monologue...but for now I´d go with the second, since I don´t get similar questions too often here.
Actually, I enjoy it.
I have grown up in a small village in central Slovakia, where the word anonymity is found only in dictionaires. Everybody knows everybody. Here I rarely meet someone I know and I can roam the town for fun.
Yet, Brno can hit me hard, like when older women in tram told me I was a cow. Because the tram shaked and I happened to move and touch her, of course not on purpose.
I wished her a nice day and she got really angry, that is the good part.
Then I heard some silly boys screaming at me "Hey, you are so pretty!"
I dislike this, because the mirror doesn´t lie, and nor does my sarcasm detector.
I ranted to my boyfriend why are some people still intimidating when you just walk on the street. Nobody dared to do this in the world, where everyone knows everyone. "You have to get used."
True, I needed to "man up". The initial shock changed into immense love for the town and laugh about some weird personas around here.
Coming from the house where I was alone with my parents, and introverted in the nature (yet open and talkative around my closest ones), I dealed with roommates´ problems, we were finding compromises. And we did, mostly.
Now it´s almost year since I came and it changed me plus the experiences. This blog should map it. My adventures here, in the town of Shalingrad.
