What's up?

I't trying to catch up everything I have been doing so this is just a post about a few things that I have learned lately about Slovenia, what I think of it and what have I been up to. :)

Beer in movie theater?

I don't know how common this is in your countries but in Finland, this would never happen! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this. Really?? But that's cool I think. And I guess popcorns and beer is good... is it? Or you can make your own drinking game at the cinema while watching the movie. Oh good I have been on Erasmus too long...
Anyways we went to see Thor 2 with Dasha and Kenda. Loved Avengers, Thors was nice and couldn't care the less about sequel. The most enjoyable part was when Chris Hemsworth was washing his sculpture body. Just stream the movie from internet if you really wanna see it. Or just youtube Hemsworths abbs.

Went to see the Hunger Games the week after I think and that I really enjoyed! Got to love the fact that with some movies you can just drop to your teenage self and watch some rubbish. And especially since I haven't read the books so I can fully enjoy what the movies have to offer me.


This weather!

Probable the most boring topic to talk about but still come on! This fall/winter has been fantastic! First of all the warm summer breeze continued long till the end of fall and I feel like winter has still not started. Furthermore its not only warm but most of the time its also sunny and clear sky aswell! The best part is that you can see the white top mountains, man I will never get sick of looking at them. Gotto love Slovenia. I want to go skiing!





Lets look at the stars at Bohinj

Did I just write that its been so warm here? Well this night it wasn't. I have a lovely friend Amin (maroccon/french) who had this romantic idea that we should go to lake Bohinj and look at the night sky together with a big group. Just a random Tuesday night. Yea ofcourse I have nothing better to do, do I? So we rent the car with Amin, Sebastia, Clare, Marin, Phillipp, Patric, me and Coralie. Beer, blankets, flashlights and warm cloths and lets go! It was as magnificent as Amin had predicted the night sky was absolutely breath taking. And we managed to make a fire aswell, it was incredible. When the guys had the idea I had no fate in them (sorry boys<3). Sitting around the fire, drinking beer, playing guitar and watching the stars. Quite ideal Tuesday night I'd say. When did Tuesdays became such an epic days? I guess it has something to do with the fact that its the day of the week when you really have nothing to do and you make up these insane ideas. I can't really complain, its quite awesome if you ask me.




Thank you guys!

Mother fuckers trying to steal my bike!

Early this fall Dasha was kind enough to give her old bike for me to use for the semester. I was thrilled. She got me new lock and I was the happiest gurl with my old white ferrary bike. One unfortunate day tho I lost the bikes chains. As a clever girl I managed to fix my bike but lost the chains again because they were too loose. I decided to take the bike to the nearest bike store the next day. Well that never happened. Several weeks after every time I came home from uni I saw my old white bike parked next to our building. I decided this was the day I should actually take the bike to the store since I had some spare time. After a moment of searching the lock part where you put your key I realized it has gone missing. Some asshole had broke my bike lock, saw the actual lock part away and lock it again against the our building basement window bars. How can someone be such an idiote?! There was nothing I could do about it without proper tools and still in this day my bike is downstairs hooked to window bars. The end for this sad story.

New York bitches!

Just a normal Sunday night, what to do? Lets buy fucking playing tickets to New York!!

This was just insane. I got home from Piran with my friend Tom and Dasha was doing her favorite hobby: searching for plain tickets when she hit the Jackpot. Flights to New York and back from Warsaw only 204€! It was just one of those special offers that you could not ignore. I had no idea if I will have some exams on that week or something very important but I could not care less. There and back for 200!! That's just mad! Within half an hour me and Dasha were one plain ticket richer. Rest of the night went by listening  New York songs and starting Sex and the City maraton. I love that crazy slovenian. THE best roommate ever! And another amazing thing is that we will have reunion with Sasha in Warsaw. The whole family together again May 2014!


Ginger Tom in Slovenia!

This man is crazy! Tom aka Ginger Tom from Germany did his Erasmus in Finland in my home University and this semester he come to visit me in Ljubljana. Everyone who knows Tom, knows that this man would attend to anything and everything! For example just to drive from Germany to Ljubljana for a weekend. Crazy awesome Tom! Such a fun weekend behind us and awesome reunion.

Tom arrived Friday night, I was freaking out cause I gave him my number but I didn't receive his. I was expecting him to arrive around 9ish but the man was nowhere. After 10pm I got a happy phone call from him that he is on front of my door!:)

Its Friday night so there is nothing else to do but go out of course! Joe Pena for dinner and cocktails and then to Neboticnik to meet up with the other Erasmus. Friday is obviously THE day to go to Metelkova and this Friday was no exception. It was really awesome night to go there actually cause they had Student Radio event. One Slovenian dude explained me what it was about but I can't really remember. Anyways you paid 10€ at the entrance and received a bracelet that allowed you to enter all the clubs in the area. After Metelkova hang outside, bear blood shot and hunting weed for a friend we finally went to the first club Galla Halla where some other crazy erasmus aka Sebastion+Florian and some others where. The night was about a lot of shots, great music and people and crowed surfing!! Simi, me and Tom went to turn in Tiffanies as well for a dance or two, but we didn't have time check out other places.


Party hard and sleep in. Or that's what I at least want to do. Of course Tom was here for such a short visit so we didn't have time to waste even if the weather was shit. Tour around center, coffee and random hike in Tivoli park in pouring rain! I think there is some kind of look out place but we didn't find it. But then again we would have not seen anything because of the rain anyway so I doesn't really matter.

Dinner - Guinness and KMS with some awesome people.

Got to laugh Ludis brother tho who came to Slovenia for a weekend the whole night he just ordered belgium beers which are ridiculously expensive here. I don't blame him, slovenian beer is shit. Or that's what everyone are telling me.

This was our we should not go out tonight night!


Awesome night guys!

Last and final day... Plan Piran and Postojna caves(finally!). We started our journey early on the morning with Tom and picked Sophie and her Belgian friend Ysaline. As I have already learned in life, things don't always go as planned and it didn't happen this day ether. The day stared well, Piran was beautiful but when we started driving back to visit Postojna caves we soon realized we were going to be late. There are specific times you can enter the cave cause its underground you have to go there via train. Driving against time Tom turned to race driver, Sunday was perfect for it since there was no other drivers around. We reached the parking lot 12.58, ran to the reception fingers crossed we would make it. As we explained the situation for the saleslady she just stared us blankly and said: "The train left at 12, the next one is leaving 15." ?!? You are joking!! All for nothing. The only thing you could do was to laugh about the situation. Shit happens, at least we had fun. On our way back to Piran we got lost and found the beautiful Predjama castle. So the trip was not for nothing. We also stopped at the other caves closer to Piran but they had the same timetables for the tours. The caves looked epic from the photos! Maybe one day I will actually make it and go see them.
The drive back to the cost was perfect tho. Spending time with your friend whom you had not seen in months.


I almost broke into tears when Tom played Otto Knows - Million voices from his phone. That song is ours and is full of so many happy memories: Erasmus Finland, Urban festival cruise, Tomorrowland and now this! Its amazing how you are friends with someone, you don't nessesary have to be in touch so much but the bond of friendship never fades. I know Tom is a friend like that to me. And when I hear this song there is no one else I think of but him and all the awesome parties we went together.


Thank you so much Tom for coming! One awesome weekend :) Next one is on me, I'll see you in Germany!
