dneska som si nasiel cas na dopisanie vsetkeho.

rano som sa zobudil o 6tej. cakala ma na stole ovsena kasa, ovocny koktail a opekane bagetky s cukrom a skoricou. potrebujem vela energie na dnesny beh a tak to cele natlacim do hlavy. ale co sa nestane. fazulka zo vcera sa zacina ozyvat. co uz. a tak sa o 8:30 stretavame na parkovisku pred skolu. vela deciek prislo na svojich vlastnych autach. dost netypicke. pozeram na brutalny terenak a odtial vybehne jedna baba od mas z timu. sranda.alebo jeden chalan na cervenom sportiaku.

potom sadame do aut a razime cestu k Roxyann. po kratkom strecingu sa pustame do toho. zapinam stopky a zacinam volne,pomaly. supanie malo 3mile, cize celu trat. ziadna rovina, kdeze. a tak stupame a stupame a stupame. po 2 kilometroch odbacame dolava a asi po dalsom kilometri doprava. vela ludi bolo na chvoste, ktori kracali, nie bezali. je to sice jednoduchsie ale ide predsa o to aby sme to cele vybehli,nie? a tak sa bezhlavo pustam do toho najvacsieho stupaku. pohodka, stretol som chalanov a ti mi hovorili ze je to len kusok. a tak im verim a pokracujem. zrazu som zbadal trenerov a bolo to. krasnych 46 minut na samy vrchol.
potom si spolu s jednou freshmenkou pozerame vyhlad na medford a pomaly kracame dolu.
cesta bola dost dlha. a tak po pol hodine zliezania dorazame k autam a ficime na pool party. Kde nas cakal bazena jedlo.krasne

potom ma vyzdvihla moja host mama a ficime nakupovat. nieco pod zub. zeby stejky z tuniaka?? preco nie. a tak spolu s tuniakom a ostatnym jedlom razime cestu domov.

teraz sedim na hupacom kresle a v naruci mam notebook a pisem. a netrpezlivo cakam na veceru. caute

Just few minutes after I woke up I ate oats porridge and fruit coctail. great food. I was supposed to need lot of calories for today's run. I ate all my food and went back to my room. We left at 8:oo. When I came to school there was just one girl. I asked her how is she doing. And then we find out that we are not at the right place. all kids were in front of the scholl. Sure, there were couches waiting for us. no problem.

We drove by car not more than 15 minutes. when I noticed the hill I was frightened. SO BIG HILL. oh no!!but it was absolutelly OK. after couple of minutes of stretching we started to run. I didn't start as fast as few of us. It looked pretty tough run.

After 1st mile I was feeling really good. Then we turned left and then right again. and here was the steepest part of the hill. In few minutes I met our varsity guys running downhill. SO I guessed that it was no so far from finish. When I saw our coaches I was OK. it was the finish line there. sO I got it in 46minutes. Without walking, just running.

after going downhill we went to grandma's house of one of our coaches. pool party and lot of food were great.

Afterwards I was picked up by my host mum and we went shopping.
SO thats everything what happened today.

see you tomorrow.bye guys

Stvrtkovy beh/ Thursday run

Piatok 01-09-2006

vcera som sa nedostal k internetu, cize vam teraz popisem co sa setko stalo. rano sme sa zobudili, ku podivu, mali sme na ranajky prazenicu a male parky, Smokies. Po vydatnych ranjakach sme sa vybrali na bicykloch do kniznice. divite sa? Ja a do kniznice? noo hej. pozical som si nejaku anglicku gramatiku a knihu o amerike. kedze mam limitovany ucet mozem si vzdy zobrat len dva kusy. okrem toho sme si zobrali ASL-american sign language.super vec. samozrejme ze sme do kniznice nesli len tak, priamo. museli sme zabludit po ceste tam. super

ale s bludenim som nema l iba jeden problem.lepsie prislo neskor. po kniznici sme boli mrte hladni a tak ze dame sendvic. za 7,5 dolarov.kym sme nasli ten podnik tak nam to trvalo asi pol hodiny.bolo to vsak asi 2minuty od kniznice. co uz. a tak sa uz cely hladny tesim na poriadny kus toastu. dal som si Italian, lebo nic ine mi nic nehovorilo. a uz sa nesie krasny velky kusisko sendwicu. bol mrte dobry. a ako je v americkych restikach dobrym zvykom ze voda je zadarmo.jak u nas, co ti povim.

potom sa zberame do nasho predosleho domceku, k host otcovi. super.potom ako sme si zahrali biliard, zase vyrazam na trening. celkom dobre naladeny, to som este nevedel ze moje nohy su neuveritelne unavene. bezali sme len kusok,take 2-3 mile. samozrejme, ze som si zabudol moje elastaky a tester doma. takze si poziciavam kratasy od Andyho. uz nosim jeho dlhe gate. sranda.

akurat ma napadlo, vy idete uz pondelok do skoly,hahhaha nechcel by som. hehehe

vseci sa citili neuveritelne unaveni a bolo to cele deprimujuce cize najlepsia cesta ako trochu zmenit tuto naladu je zabudnut odbocit na spravnej ulici. a tak sa znovu strateni vraciame este dlhsiou cestou spat. vsetci uz po strecingu a my sme len vstupovali na travu. a este bonbonik je ze sme skoncili o pol hodky skorej. cize som pol hodky tvrdol na skolskom dvore.

po veceri, fazulka a masko.v tasticke,salat a syr sa vyberam do horuceho kupela. a zaspavam rozbity,okolo 22:30. a psychicky sa pripravujem na zajtrajsi vystup/vybeh na Roxyann. nejaky kopec v okoli.ved uvidime.

After I woke up I went to the library. Sorry, I had breakfast before I arrived. Scrambled eggs with smokies. Cool staff. Then we ride our bikes downhill and got losed. We didn't go the right way, but it was actually no problem.

After a while were in the library. I borrowed English grammar and All about America, from apple pie to.... Great book,I guess.

we got hungry so we went to the restaurant. I had a Italian Sub and water. pretty good food.

Afterwards we just rode to the father's house and played some pool. then I had to go to the X-country practice. I felt pretty nice. Just till we started running. my legs felt so tired and everybody looked so tired too. This two miles were one of the most tough in my life. But, unfortunately, we got lost. we ran more than we were suposed to. so I had so great feeling. Everybody was stretching when we came, so it wasn't as big deal as I had thought.

After practice I had great shower which was so refreshing. And what could be more refreshing than Tacos. Great mexican food. Then we went to the hot tub and I went to the bed. I was preparing for my big run up to the hill Roxyann.

Stvrtok 31-8-2006

Dnesnu noc som stravil u mojej host mamy.byva asi 10min od skoly. samozrejme v kopci. vyzdvihla ma po treningu a spolu s andym sme zihali do jej domceku. bol som pekne hladny a tesil som sa na veceru. Mal som prvu doma uvarenu veceru, a nie z polotovarov!!!! historicka udalost. mali sme nieco ako cinu, ryza a mesko s ananasom a cibulkou.krasne. a vyprazane tasticku. mnam

Last night I was staying at my host mum. She is great. She picked me up after practice and then we went to her house. Her house is located in great nature. Of course, on the hill. We had a great dinner. By the way it was my first dinner cooked from scratch. It was very similar to Chinese food, pineapple with onion and chicken breast, I think. After dinner we watched “The whole nine yards” movie. The hot tub was the thing I really needed. Nice hot water and lots of bubbles…

potom sme si spolu s andym pozreli film Moj sused zabijak. samozrejme ze sa to volalo inak. Whole nine yards.
potom sme sli okusit Hot tub alebo Jacuzii. uzasna vyriva vana s horucou vodou.okolo 23:00 som sa presunul do postele. celkom unaveny som zaspal a zobudil som sa o 9tej rano. potom ako sme zjedli skoricove kolaciky sme sa rozhodli ze si hned dame aj obed. pozreli sme si Whole ten yards[cize druhy diel]. a tak po obede,asi o 11 sa presuvame na bicykloch do mojho stareho domu. teraz sedim za pocitacom a odbieham si zahrat biliard. celkom sranda. a davam si toast s lekvarom. aby som neschudol. dneska este zamyslam ist do kniznice a na trening samozrejme. potom si dame nejaku fajnu veceru znova.


I was sleeping till 9am. We had some cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Andy cooked it pretty well. After watching “The whole ten yards” we had a lunch. It was about 11am when we left the house and went back to my host father’s house.

There we played a pool with Andy’s friend Nate. Then came Claudia and gave me a graphic calculator. Actually, I need it for my Pre-calculus classes.

I had also intended to go to the library, but I didn’t have time to get there. Hopefully I go there tomorrow

teraz je priblizne 22:00 hod cize vy pomaly vstavate.som po veceri.mal som krasne cestoviny, salat a vybornu omacku. a bagetku. trening bol dneska dost peklo. snad sa mi podari ukazat vam to na mape, ale sli sme takych 6-6.5 mil. hodina 10min. teraz sa snazim dopisat setko co sa mi v priebehu dna vymazalo.
o dalsie zazitky sa s vami podelim zajtra. a dneska dopisem to co mi pred chilou zmizlo, pisal som to asi hodinu. caute

Practice was pretty tough today. We ran about 6 miles. From my school to my house and then back. It lasted more than 1 hour and 10minutes. Now I am in armchair holding my host’s mum notebook and writing you my new experiences. I had pasta with tomato sauce and meat with mushrooms, salad and baguette for dinner. Quite a lot of food but after practice is necessary to eat a lot. I am looking forward to going to the hot tub again. So see you tomorrow!!!

Luci, diky za komentare. som rad ze aspon niekomu sa to lubi. inak co myslis, nepisal som teraz asi hodinu a nezavrel mi to okno moj host brat.nieeeee vobeeeeec.

18.8-30.8 2006

Aby som to vsetko porozpisoval musele by som si kupit denne asi tak 12hodin casu. Jedina vec,ktoru mozem teraz spravit je zhrnut to cele, co sa udialo.

Po tom ako som sa ubytoval, v mojom novom domove sme na druhy den vyrazili na prieskum mesta. Medford je malebne mestecko na juhu statu Oregon. Nadherna priroda a mnozstvo parkov mi dodavali pocit nasdenia. Prvy den som sa citil ako v inom prostredi, ved aj som, ale po dvoch tyzdnoch mozem s usmevom povedat, ze sa tu citim uz "ako doma"

Okrem nespocetneho mnozstva parkov a zelene sa tu nachadzaju, velmi oblubene, fast fudy[fast food],aleob rychle jedlo. Americania ho oblubuju, ale nie vseci. McDonaldy, Burger Kingy a Taco Bell a ine velmi zdrave jedla. Su sice vynikajuce, ale vyzivna hodnota je nulova. resp. tukova je asi tak 50%na. Vozili sme sa autom po meste a navstivili sme aj skolu. Obrovska budova,skoro ako nase skoly, velky stadion a atleticka trat-pekne, uhladne, modre Mondo. nadhera. Umela trava pre American football. Great!!!
neskor sme vstupili do budovy.nekonecny rad skriniek a panske toalety mi davali najavo ze nie sme v slovenskej skole. Mili americania, ktori ma privitali ako vymenneho studenta s velkym nadsenim. ucitelia vyzerali velmi mili. Vsupili sme do jednej miestnosti,akoby riaditelna. hned sa ma spytali ako sa volam a odkial som a ako sa mam.velmi sa tesili ze vidia noveho studenta[ako u nas,prve co je ked vstupite do riaditelne je otazka "co chcete?" az potom sa mozno spytaju na meno,velmi mierumilovnym sposobom.dufam ze chapete co chcem povedat. VSETKO JE V LUDOCH].


Ale to nie je vsetko co sa skoly tyka. Kazdy student sa musi najprv do skoly zapisat. Inak to nebolo ani pri mne. Vosli sme do skoly a hned pri vchode mi dali papier, na ktory mi davali peciatky pri kazdom okineku. Nasledovalo okienko kde si pytali zdravotne papiere. Immunization status atd. Dalej som obdrzal papierik na fotky. Potom sme presli k samotnemu foteniu. Fotka sluzi na skolsky preukaz.[taky ako mame na horvatke=zdrap papiera a uplne mrte dobra fotka,ved to seci dobre poznate. A nebodaj ked si chcete niekde uplatnit zlavu, to vas vysmeju. Horvatkari vedia o com hovorim] po dofoteni sme kracali k miestnosti, kde sa robi rozvrh a kde si vyberate predmety. Jak u nas, co ti povim. Maju na vyber mrte predmetov. Mozte si to pozret na 9. a 10. str na tejto stranke: http://www.medford.k12.or.us/Files/SMHS%20COURSE%20HANDBOOK%202006-2007%20New%20One.pdf
Dalej sme presli do kniznice kde sme zaplatili poplatky a tricko na telesnu. Uz som si len vyzdvihol preukaz a bol som hotovy. Este vyber autobusu a je to.

ako sa to vsetko zacalo??? [How did everything start???]

Stvrtok 17.8.2006 v Bratisalve. vstal som o 03:00 a o 04:00 sme uz sedeli v aute a razili cestu do Swechatu.po ceste sme vyzdvihli jedineho dobrovolnika menom Kyzo,ktory ma bol ochotny odprevadit na letisko.rakuske letisko bolo v pohode a okrem pretazenej batoziny sa nevyskytli ziadne ine problemy.potom prislo na LUCENIE.asi najtazsia cast mojej cesty.ved nevidiet svojich rodicov a Kyza 10mesiacov neni sranda.

My trip started on August 17th, 2006 in Bratislava, Slovakia. I got up at 3 am. It was about 4 o'clock when we were driving to the Swechat airport. The only volunteer who wanted to go with me to the airport was Kyzo. Austrian airport was OK except for my overweight baggage. No problems occured.then was time to say "bye" to my parents and Majkl. I consider this as a most dofficult part of my trip. I won't see them for over 10 months.

v rakuskom vestibule bolo setko fajn.vacsina biznismenov a par arabov.a ,samozrejme, JA. po par minutach cakania sme sa presunuli do lietadla.nic neobvykle.bol otvoreny iba jeden runway cize sme museli ratat s meskanim.ja som mal v Bruseli 2.5 hodky na presun cize vsetko bolo OK.vzleteli sme.pristali.fajn cesta.sedel som sam.pohodlie.

I was sitting in departure lounge at Astrian airport . Everything seemed great. There were some business men and an Arabic family in the room. And, of course, ME. After few minutes we moved to the aircraft. nothing interesting. it was opened just one runway so we had a little delay in Brussels.I had more than 2 hours to find my gate so i didn't care.we took off and after 2 hours we safely landed in Brussels. It was a quite comfortable flight because there was nobody in the two seats next to me.

bruselske letisko je uz trochu vacsia sranda ako rakuske.velmi som sa ponahlal,aby som v cas nasiel spravny check in.ani pocit hladu ma neprinutil vzdat sa haldania a tak som si odoprel co i len maly snack.velke sipky USA a New York boli jednoznacne.velky rad ludi to potvrdil.potom dobehla jedna mila mlada pani ze ci som Delta New York.ja ze ano.zobrala ma na zaciatok radu ku kontrole.tam boli pracovnicky delty ktore sa vypytovali co mam u seba.okrem par papierov,zbrani a vybusnin som nemal nic.cize kontrolou som presiel bez problemov.vsetky veci som nahadzal do igelitky a presiel detektormi.musel som si sundat moje velmi pohodlne boty,ci tam nahodu nemam nejke kovove predmety.vacsinou si vsetky veci davam do topanok ale dneska sa mi nechcelo.potom ma jeden mily,pekny,asi 70 rocny pan ohmataval.velmi prijemny pocit,ani si to neviete predstavit.potom som kracal k Delta Security.tam ma spovedala jedna pani,ci mam nejake tekutiny alebo kto je vlastnikom vasej batoziny a podobne velmi duchaplne a dolezite otazky.lebo drviva vacsina ludi sa priznala ze tam ma bombu alebo zbrane.cize som to chapal.onedlho,asi po hodine sedenia,opat opustame pevninu.krasny pocit.


The airport in Brussels is much larger than the Austrian one. I was hurry to find my gate so I forgot to buy some food. I was starving.The big arrows saying "New York" were, undoubtably, showing the right way to my Check-in.While I was waiting at the end of the really long line, suddenly came a woman asking who is from Delta, New York. I immediately answerd,"me!". I was told to follow her to the passport control. There were couple of Delta assistants asking me some "really important" questions. I had only few weapons, one bomb and some papers on me so I was done in few minutes. I had no problems to pass the control. I had to take off my "comfortable" shoes. I always have my stuff in shoes but today I was too lazy to put them there. Afterwards I was checked by a very handsome, young, 70year old man. It was an amazing experience. When I came to the Delta Security desk, a very awesome girl was waiting for me. She was about 60 years old. She asked me a couple of pretty interesting questions, e.g."who is owner of your baggage?"or"Who had packed your baggage?". She was lucky and she detected few bomb attackers. Actually, I understand the purpose of asking these questions now. Few moments later I am in the air again.


obed,Pasta a salat,krekry so syrom a dezert,neskor zmrzlina a opat pizza.krasny pocit.jedine co bolo zdrvujuce bolo tlacivo ktore bolo treba vyplnit.no problemos som si povedal


I had a salad, crackers with Edam cheese, pasta and a dessert for a lunch. A couple of hours later there was a stewardess giving me an ice cream and pizza again. the only interesting thing was a Form I had to fill out. I thought "no problemos".

no problemos sa ukazuje ako problemos a tak som zbehol pre iny typ tlaciva.potom som sa nenapadne predbehol a bol som v USA.vyzdvihol som si batozinu.celkom v poriadku az na odtrhnutu nalepku.tak som isiel na re-check in.pohodka.poprosil som jedenho zamestnanca ci by mi nepomohol tu nalepku opravit.totizto ta nalepka sluzi na rozoznanie miesta kam batozina cestuje/resp.by mala/. a tak ma postavil do rady.cakal som tam pol hodinu,zbytocne.pani mi dala zosivacku a zcvakla mi nalepku dokopy.cely vyteseny som sa rozbehol hladat moj dalsi gate. po 10min som bol na mieste.hrozne,lebo som mal pred sebou este kopec casu.asi 2hodiny.tak som bludil po obchodoch a chodil po letisku.cele som ho presiel presne 3
krat.a tak si zmoreny cestovanim sadam do cakarne a vyzuvam si moje botasky a sako.opat letim.tento raz sedim s jedny parom.chlapikovi som nerozumel ani slovo a tak som sa vzdy iba usmial.cele som to prespal/aj filmy.jedlo,samozrejme nie.ved ako by to vyzeralo.noo

The previous thinking "no problemos" wasn't so great as I had thought. I had to go back and fill out a different type of the form. I passed the security and I was in the USA. I picked up my luggage and saw my destroyed sticker with flight data. so I went to re-Check in desk and asked the woman for a help. I was so happy that I forgot to go to the lavatory. I had two hours at the JFK airport so I went to few shops. I walked around the airport 3 times, and I was in the air again.This time I was sitting next to one couple from the South. I didn't understand the guy so I always smiled at him. I was sleeping all the time.Except for a snack, of course.


uz sedim v cakarni v Salt Lake City.vzrusujuce.mila pani oproti mne sa pyta ci hovorim po anglicky,ja na to ze trochu.a tak sa pytala ze co a ako.po pol hodke opat sedim v lietadle a tentoraz uz vedla asi tak 30 rocnej pani z Medfordu.pokecali sme o medforde,South M. high School a tak.neskor uz vystupujem z lietadla a razim si cestu von. a velkolepy okamih==moja Host Family a zopar ludi z Rotary klubu.vseci ma privitali a ja ako neme male dieta som na nich civel a hovoril Hi, hi, good, i am tired, fine, yes.Batozina sa zjavila na pase asi po 10min.cize uz mi nic nebranilo v tom aby sme sa presunuli do mojho noveho bydliska.

After more than 5 hours I was waiting for the next connection to Medford again. It was so exciting. This time it was a woman asking me if I can speak English who woke me up. We had a short chat and then I was in aircraft again. I had a place next to a 30 year-old woman who was from Medford. She asked me some questions and then she worked on her laptop. After 2 hours I left the airplane and walked to the teminal. And now, the big moment. My host family and few Rotarians were waiting for me there. so exciting. I had no words because I was so excited. I was just staring...
