Tonight we are going to a club at ‘Skyscraper’. It is called Skyscraper because it’s the tallest building in the city. I’m pretty sure it’s only a dozen or so stories high. The club is on the top floor.
This is what happens when you have a city without real big buildings.
First time using skype for a legitimate purpose. How magical! I’ve probably gone longer than six weeks talking to them, but being thousands of miles away makes it seem more important I guess.
Here I am at the Adriatic Sea! We went for a short 12km hike around the Slovene Coast and saw a lot of beautiful sights. And at the end we got a bottle of wine!
I took a different bus home tonight and a goofy boy sat across from me. He was listening to his iPod really loudly (IDevenK why people do that, it’s gonna kill yer ears) and I could hear Crystal Castles. I asked him about it and we ended up trading iPods (circa 2005). He immediately went to the Dubstep section of my iPod which I found really entertaining. Maybe I will see him at the Dubstep show tomorrow.
Anyway, this was just a fun interaction I had with a Slovene on the bus. I will try to interact with more on the bus in the future.
IDK if the student that I was teaching the other day was legitimately interested in Howard Zinn, or just wanted to impress me.
But I used A People’s History of the United States to talk about US perspective of WWI vs. Slovene perspective of the war, and what people are taught about it.
