All I have to say is no a million times. No way I would be up on that tower with only a rope no way ever!

Alright mustang! Finally some iffy american muscle to bad it's a v6

Did some one say white wedding???? I spotted a young billy idol, look he's even got the groupies!!

Ok the first week came to an end yesterday and it is official all of us here (Gabriel, Diego, Mannah, and I) agree that the tourist effect has worn off and we now have the realization that we are here for a year! school starts Wednesday and we all will make some more friends and life will be better, but it still an odd feeling knowing this is where I am for a year. The people are extremely kind and try to make you feel as comfortable as possible. Unless you try to block them from getting the puck or hit them. That is really frowned upon over here in hockey, oh well not too many friends on the opposing team now! On Saturday I met with Mannah and her host brother Stephan (I think), we went to what was called Hip-Hop party.... ya no it was Slovak rap, and more like a club than party, but it was fun and different, and I have no words for how the people dress here, First off are you 32 or 22 I cant tell, Secondly everyone dressed like they're 20 no matter how old they actually are. Things are a little different but I am having fun and to leave you with a quote. here is a good one for anybody no matter what you are going through.

“Any game becomes important when you know and love the players.”
― W.P. Kinsella

things are different

Man Slovak Hockey is ridiculous! they find every hole you leave open its amazing and frustrating at the same time. it also would have helped if I dint feel crammed into my pads. they were meant for someone half my diameter lol. thankfully I will play as a player Sunday not a goalie. also there are no stops in play its an hour straight no refs, they score a goal you dig it out of the net and pass it to a player and the game goes on. no faceoff nothing! ok now the locker room is strange. Really no privacy, door to rink wide open and everyone walking around in towels or less ill let you figure out the rest of that image, but ok whatever its fine just different. oh and a pair of genuine leather boots from Germany for 35 American Dollars, SERIOUSLY!?!? Yes I will take them! although the Records are really expensive. An album I would buy in the states for 2 American Dollars it around 12 usd! but the rare Europe covers are reasonable around 15-20 here when I would pay 40-50 in the states, something is wrong here lol. And to whom it may concern Blogger is not letting me upload photos from computer so all gopro photos and videos will end up on Facebook from now on. only photos from phone will be on blogger. Sorry for the inconvenience.

First game here as a goalie and I look at my skates to make sure they are still dull I finally got them the way I like them and come to find out host dad sharpened them with out asking me >:( I just got them where I liked them!

Tower at city centre. climbed that tower. Will post pics later of the climb, ridiculously small space.

Me at town centre

Warning dad I found a record store. No records bought today. But look at those covers you can not find these in America take it from me if you aren't a record collector. Impossible to find.

Two of the nicest cars I've seen here a humer! And a Bentley! Seriously a Bentley?!?

A view from a watchtower on top of a mountain overlooking Kosice 

Nuke!

First nuke sign I've seen here on my stay, puts me in the mind set of what it was like here in the past? Must have been a time of worry and danger.

The plane ride from yesterday. The thing was so small a gust of wind could have flipped the thing almost.

Anyone want some hockey it's the Kosice hockey club in blue.

Long first day in Kosice but was fun. First police station to become legal then lunch with my host dad and his friend, then coffee in his hockey shop. Then a mall to look for a SIM card for here. Exchanged american dollars to euros, exchange rate not good but oh well. Back to police station to see if our number was getting close, which it was thankfully! Met with Mannah Mace and Gabriel Khater at police station oh and found out Gabriel is going to the same school as I am. Then went for a plane ride after police station. Finally home. Oh Ya did I mention I saw an Indian motorcycle! 

Landed in Vienna Austria. Beautiful entry through clouds upon landing

 Had a great one last weekend over in Troy Ohio for the IH scout and light truck nationals. Here are some pictures I took while there. Enjoy.

Are you kidding me!! Motley Crue theater of pain with original insert and sleeve for two dollars. At half price books nonetheless. Of course I'm going to get it who wouldn't!
