my apartment building from a distance
The welcoming door to my apartment building
my room, the door leads to a pigeon dropping covered balcony, but I have a nice view of ....
Bratislava to the east, the grey roof is the bus station
Bratislava to the west
The garden beneath my window
my room from the balcony, its actually quite cheery and my pillow is very comfortable
view from the window looking towards the hallway, my bathroom is on the right side of the hallway
my shiny bathroom
with the shiny toilet
the big hallway....actually, its quite bright and cheerful
the hallway from my room to the kitchen
kitchen that I share with 10 other students
kitchen from the other side
a crooked view
my first meal in Slovakia by an Italian company...it was quite yummy though
view from the kitchen balcony...definitely a nice view every morning, the long peach building in the middle is the building I work in
a close-up of the chemistry building....my office is on the 4th floor on the far right side of the building

especially when you see cracks on the balcony next door

The streets of the old city...this is the part of Slovakia most tourists see...and its really nice

Novy Most...the new bridge...its looks quite modern...
I pose next to the new bridge after enjoying my boiled corn on the cob from the old city
a view towards the old bridge (only two lanes)...the newest bridge is behind it, its only one year old and called something other than newest bridge
a view of the national theater from the Danube
