We're Back

Yemi and I arrived back to Pezinok on the 30th from visiting our family and friends in Denver and Pittsburgh for the holidays. It was great! Dealing with airports during the holidays is always a challenge and the jet lag/ time change was difficult but everything else was wonderful. I feel refreshed and ready for another 3 months in Slovakia.

We got a great video camera from Yemi's sister for Christmas so I'll be posting some Vlogs for anyone who wants to get more visual information about "Eastern Europe." I think it will help further my mission of breaking down Western stereotypes about this part of the world. A lot of people I spoke with back home had a lot of questions just about the differences in simple day to day life so I uploaded a composite of video taken with our new toy. The first part of the video is from a drive in Bratislava by the mall and the castle. The second part of the video is at the Tesco which is their equivalent of Walmart, it's a large warehouse style supermarket selling everything from groceries and liquor to clothes and electronics.

Happy New Year everyone!
