Roznava (RZ)

I came to Roznava where I spend my first Christmas in 2003. The first thing after arrival was visiting the grandma. "Moja mala! Moja mala!!". She cooked one of my favour Slovak national dish - Halusky! Now I can leave Slovakia without any regard! The grandma was hugging and kissing me warmly. She was holding my hand the whole time when she was querying my family, my job, my relationship etc. like I was her real granddaughter. She is a very sensitive, caring and wise grandmother who kept everything I gave her, such as my address and her Chinese name I wrote.

His name got mentioned quite a few times during this visit and I was really surprised at their memory on all the little things I told them. However, I got really frustrated after 2 days here though, as the boringness was driving me crazy. I monitored my frustration during my excess spare time and practice my assertiveness and patience, but I knew it's for the best that I moved on.

Snow!! Thank you, Roznava! (Well, again not real snow, but I have lowered my standard of what I call snow now! :( )
