Prvo objasnjenje: Pisat cu na englestini ovaj puta.. Ignorirajte moje nepoznavanje gramatike i pravopisa.
It's kind of hard now to write about what happened, and when did it happen, cause in some weird way I feel that I've spend much more that 8 days in Bulgaria.
It all started last Thursday on the train. First I met Peter (Slovenia), than Milan (Serbia) joined us, and in the end I got a sms that was already a first real sign about what was going to be happening in the next 8 days.
"Knock, knock.. The matrix has you! Follow my cousin with the orange hut!"
I had absolutely no clue who the hell was the cousin, or who wrote the sms. Of course, as you may have guessed this was Tibor's (Hungary) master work, and the mystery cousin was Tamas.
From that moment we really were in Sofia, and the party was about to start.
The five of us were the last ones to arrive, and it ended up to be one really long day. After 20hrs of traveling, we were kicked on the bus and driven to the mountain. Felling extremely exhausted, tired and partially dead, I was hopping just to jump into some nice warm bed and sleep for about 17hrs. I had no idea that this was just how I’ll be for the rest of my stay in Bulgaria, ok maybe later it was a bit more worse:)
Of course, no sleeping was planned, but instead of that there was a welcome party, which involved drinking, than drinking games, and than some more alcohol to wash out what was drank during the drinking games. The following day was quite relaxing, even thought at that time I thought that this was way to much for me already, and that I’ll never last for a day more, now when I come to think of it I realize that this was nothing, really nothing, just warming up. Engineering competition ended up with couple of broken eggs, and some that had survived. Now when I think about it there were only two ideas which were really “the ideas”.->
Helen’s: Making a giant string and lowering the egg down.
Tibor’s (I think it was): Dropping the egg just the way it is
That night we had and International party. For those that don’t know what it is in a few words: it is lots of alcohol, and food from I think 17 countries. My personal favorite was the Spanish table, and we all know why is that- SANGRIA OF COURSE!!
Still that night we actually got some nice sleep (comparing to the days after that), and the next day there was a trip to Rila monastery, some nice little hike, caving experience (even though I’m 164cm high, somehow I managed to kick my head twice- hey folks it’s not without a reason that on a caving classes they give you flash lights, special suits and helmets!!;) ).
Now I had to go and look at the printed timetable, cause I had no idea what was happening that evening, and even now I still don’t really know. It says “Party”, what? Where??
Will write about it later if I remember it.
Waking up at 7 am, is not part of my lifestyle. But somehow when you’re in the same shit with everybody else it’s easier. Don’t remember much of the courses (sorry), but the coffee breaks were nice and refreshing :) I tried my firs carting that day. And if “not gentleman Thijs (Belgium)” had not pushed me out, I’m sure I would have won:P
Somehow even though it was early afternoon everybody was soon holding some kind of alcohol in their hands. Btw it’s amazing that they serve about 1deciliter of gin when you order gin with tonic, and it costs 3 levas, about 1.5 eur!!
Again party, and I really feel stupid but I just can’t remember which day was which party. I know that we were in several different pubs those days, but what was when?!!
I wanted this blog post to be a nice reminder about the trip, but now I really have some huge problems with writing it. Maybe it’ll be easier when I get some photos.
Ooohh, yes, maybe this was the night with the drinking competition, when the Iberian mafia won?! The night when I played more of the “weird” drink-kiss games than in my whole life (actually I never played any of them before). The night of dancing, partying, singing.. Long nite. After getting back to the hotel couple of us ended up in (by then already to some people well known) room 601.
Now we come to Tuesday. Ok have to stop now, no inspiration, will continue.
Till than: Plas, plas, pedalite!!
