1. It has been mentioned that I am an overactive blogger, or as a friend mentioned, that i was very "proliferative" (hehe..I don't really need to mention that he too is a med student?).
It's true though, but what else can you really spend your days on when you're confined to bed rest.
Of course, I know, I could study a lot, and, yeah, I do that too, but at some point you need a break too.
Again, when confined to bed rest, your range of choices is quite limited, and usually involves, yup, you guessed right; laying in bed!
The trick though, is to manage to still have stuff to write about, as, well, you do run out of stuff to write about when ur chained to your bed; but hey; i could always just whine a bit more:P
2. Yesterday a wrote about a majority of Slovak buildings being made by "cement, concrete and other grey stuff". Also, I mentioned that Slovaks can be percieved as slightly grumpy people by people like me (med studens been here for 3,5 years and still barely have the language skills of a 2year old).
In hindsight, I realise that some might find that offensive, howevermuch i try to explain that that is not my intension. Therefore, I have decided to post some pictures of the city I live in here in Slovakia.
Also, I'd like to say that the grumpyness most likely is related to my lack of language skill, and it must be so annoying listening to my attempts; as grammatical errors and pronounciation mistakes might leave me saying "At dinner I pissed in the book", while actually meaning to say "Last night I read a book".
In spite of my language skills, I had quite a nice conversation with another patient at the hospital yesterday. ( Yup, although not being admitted, I still have to come back to get IV-treatment for 2hrs every day for the nest 5 days).
She was a former nurse at the hospital, and seemed quite used to speaking with foreign students. After the conversation i noticed that I actually understood more than I probably would've done a week ago. I find it quite encouraging, and wouldn't mind meeting her again, so I could get some more slovak practice:)
