First night

Dinner: A variety of peroigies. I tried one I had not tried before. It was buckwheat which sounded like it would be bland, but it's really,really good. I also had some with meat, spinach, potato and mushrooms. All good. We had them steamed instead of fried and I think I might have liked them better this way.

Afterward, out for a quick drink at a little techno bar. Really awful music. It was dance remixes of American songs, Thriller for example. But it was a very pretty little place with interesting art and lights. The drink was some concoction with banana juice. I'm not a banana fan so it wasn't the best thing ever. But it was different. All the people there dancing looked like they were maybe 12. I think the drinking age is like 16 here, so that might explain the fruity drinks and young crowd. Not my thing. But I did get to ride around the city some.

My room has a view of the downtown skyline. It's beautiful! It's nice to be in the city.

Tomorrow, I am taking the tram somewhere alone. This should be exciting... I don't understand the system at all, but I am meeting a friend who assures me that I just need to count two stops and get off. We'll see :) I've attached a photo of a tram.


Correction: The drinking age is 18 here.
