Bodliaky

by renuschka

pozor na suche bodliaky. Nedavajte si ich do vlasov, zle sa potom rozcesavaju:-) tieto sme nasli nedaleko od rieky Hron, ked sme hladali Certovu skalu. nenasli sme ju, lebo bolo prilis zimno, ale v lete ju urcite najdeme:-)

Kamenne more

by renuschka

Taketo nadherne usporiadane kamene v zime pokryte vrstvou cerstvo napadaneho snehu najdete kusok od obce Vyhne v Stiavnickych vrchoch. Nepotknite sa! su az na piatich hektaroch, tak zostrite pozornost:-)

speech

by marekg

maybe you'll have troubles with communication; matured usually at least understand russian or gerrman but have problems with speaking, young people mostly speak or at least understand english, just a little people speak italian, spanish or french.But this also depends on the place: in small villages the troubles are greater, in spa towns you can have troubles even with slovak (there's so much foreigners; germans, arabics, austrians, jews...). Anyway, to learn slovak is much more difficult...

A Strange Practice Among Doctors

by poho

well, it seems I am ***ting in my own nest, but this is truly ridiculous. own of our acquintances was charged 1200 SK for a bruise on his leg. it took the doctor about five minutes, but him the whole day to find him. if you can, ask a slovak friend to speak to his own doctor, maybe then he will not overcharge services. IF YOU HAVE SERIOUS TROUBLES, you will be surprised how helpfull slovaks become, however silly this sounds. deal with the petty things yourself, but any major illnesses or injury must be taken care of by profesionals. HEALTH FIRST

Bratislava Downtown by Summer

by vladoj

Excellent food, premium lagers, delicious wines in the ancient city. How does it look like during summer in Bratislava, you can see at:http://www.angelfire.com/home/vj/bratislava/Downtown.htmhttp://www.angelfire.com/home/vj/bratislava/Uluv.htm It takes one hour from Vienna airport (bus or taxi) to get to the city... Downtown is quite compact, you don't need to travel via long distances within the city...

Spisský hradSpisský hrad (Zipser Burg) is the largest castle in Slovakia. The castle was founded in 1209, wrecked by theTatars in the 13th century and reconstructed in the 15th century. Although the castle burnt down in 1780, the ruins and the site are spectacular. The highest enclosure contains a round Gothic tower, a cistern, a chapel and a rectangular Romanesque palace perched over the abyss. Instruments of torture are exhibited in the dungeon. The 12th-century town of Spisské Podhradie is below the castle; it's accessible via the main line from Poprad to Kosice.

by Axel-M

The Malá Fatra National ParkThe Malá Fatra (Little Fatra) Mountains stretch 50km across north-western Slovakia; Velký Kriván (1709m) is the highest peak. At the heart of the national park is Vrátna, a beautiful mountain valley with forested slopes on all sides. Hiking possibilities vary from easy tourist tracks through the forest to scenic ridge walks; in winter the valley transforms into a popular ski resort. There are plenty of places to stay and eat, though midsummer accommodation is tight. The Malá Fatra is an easy day trip from Zilina, Central Slovakia's pleasant, untouristy main town.

some americans complained that slovak toilet paper is a lot rougher than they are used to. you can buy german in some supermarkets however. i know this is silly but they really did express a dislike (well... lets not go into this too much)

by poho

not every POTRAVINY (food store) has free plastic bags. we always go to the store with our own bags. However, some big western companies will automaticaly attempt to increase the rate of pollution by presenting you with a free bag everytime you buy a chewing gum.
