Lucenec, Banska Bystrica (BB), Rozomberok
It's really great to get out of Roznava and move on finally. She picked me up from Lucenec and we went to her home. It's an amazing house and it reminds me of my home in Taiwan.
I am really sick of packing and unpacking now after moving around for 10 days, but I had to keep on going. Too little time, too many people/things to meet/achieve. After saying goodbye to her family (her mother even pack me more sweet for the road), I headed to my Silvester Party (New Year Eve Party)
I really enjoy being by myself and sitting on either train or bus. It's the precious time for me to reflect how I feel after full-on seeing friends. The hardest thing during this trip so far has been in a familiar place and experience how I felt in 2003. There is nothing I can do, but to sit with those feelings. Few people's names have been in my mind. It's rather sweet-sour. There is nothing I want to change, but I still wonder what I would feel, if things were different. Would I feel anything different, if we were still together or/and if he was here with me. However, it turns out to be for the best that I come back to Europe alone this time. If I have taken anyone with me like I wished in 2003, I wouldn't experience the same. It would be great to be able to point here and there and say that's where I had done this and that, but I wouldn't have the chance to experience what I am experiencing.
I love Banska Bystrica (BB)!! It gave me the REAL SNOW!!! :D The real BIG snow flaks was FALLING from the sky and covered me in white!! I spent three hours in BB and tried to look for the trace of me and others. My back was killing me though as I had to carry my backpack for the whole time, but the snow made it all worthwhile. I then moved to Rozomberok to be picked up. I was a little worried as there was no network for a while and I couldn't find my driver to Oravska Lesna. It was fine in the end and I saw LOTS of SNOW in Oravska Lesna!
Summary:
- It's the biggest house that I have ever seen in Slovakia! It's like a hotel! No wonder she studied hospitality).
- It's so modern too (heated floor)! Her father and her grandfather built it themselves 15 years ago. It took them 3 years to build - block by block.
- They are the most healthy family I have ever met in Slovakia. They even have the same filter jar as his!
