Arrival in Bratislava

After completing my backpacking trip across Europe I finally arrived in Slovakia

The Bratislava train station. My almost last stop for a while. A year (or two) in the making and I was finally about to step into the real.

After wandering all around the wrong parts of town without a phone or internet service. I was unable to contact my colleagues until I befriended a Croatian fellow and he loaned me his phone. I was able to call and confirm the proper address and I was able to arrive just after dinner to the Evangelicke Faculta Gymnasium on the hill overlooking Bratislava.

This was the view from my balcony at the school. My temporary home for the week.

The week of orientation was filled 8-5 with dense and valuable information. Teaching strategies, history of the country and culture, program information and foreign language lessons.
