Out of the Frying Pan and into the Fire

The view from the train as the train rolled into Kosice

The first sights of your new home can be frightening and misleading

Skeptical and concerned until arriving on main street

Another view of the beautiful cathedral that is the center of old town. A 3 minute walk from my flat, a gorgeous and inspiring sight every time you visit the city center.

This is the 'farmers market' that happens every morning on the square just across from my flat.

This is the room where I will be living for a while

Being the "Capital of Culture" for 2013, Kosice is hosting all kinds of concerts, shows and events.

The school where I am teaching.  J.A Komenskeho

One week after arriving I was invited to join the local Ultimate team at Slovakia Regionals and then Nationals. Awesome.

Coke-a-Cola's latest efforts to lure you into purchasing something you don't need. Flattering, but I didn't fall for it.

And the day my bike arrived, a most important and healthy habit. No matter where I am in the world, I am home on two wheels.
