2011 is here

Wow those pasts few weeks were amazing... words cannot describe.


But before that I would like to say something about 2011. As most of you read in my Xmas email I wish that each and every one of you will find a way this year to make a change. One change of one-person life can change the world. It doesn`t has to be something big, but a little change help some else and this world will be a better one.


Myself, I have started to work on a project for volunteering in 2011; I hope it will come out and that it will make a change. I cannot say more about it know, but I`m sure and believe that you all will hear about it in the future in this why or another.


What I have been doing since the holiday started on Dec 21st? Wow, A whole lot. My parents arrived to Trieste on the 19th for ten long days but amazing and unforgettable. Sometimes we forget who are those two persons that we owe everything to them. The person I am today, my values, my experiences my beliefs my passions are all thanks to them those two amazing parents that always supported me and always helped me to find the right path for me. So first I want to say: Mom, Dad thank you.


We traveled around Trieste and walked around and enjoyed not only the beauty of the city but the company of each other, Bologna, Travisio Kransjka Gora (Slovenia), Grado, Koper (Slovenia) and off course Trieste Trieste Trieste. It was great to show my parents the school of which I`m studying at, where I live and how I spend my time around this town in a very different life style. I must say that it was also nice to enjoy the restaurants of Trieste that with my parents I would be able to eat there.... yes yes too expensive for a student :)


Then a day after they have left Shira my very best friend has arrived. Not only I have missed her so much even though we spoke almost every day it is not like having her around. The laughter the good times the fooling around really really amazing times. For new years evening we have planed to go to Kravavec a ski resort in Slovenia where I have booked us a room for two night. When we arrived and asked the information where is the specific hostel is, the lady said that we need to go on the cable cart and then to walk for about ten minutes on the ski slopes to the rooms. We did as she told us and found ourselves carrying all our bags, food and wine across the slops....
 
we felt ridiculous. However, soon when we got to the place she said the guy there told us: no, the rooms are down in the village about fifteen minutes drive, so we went down and drove our little Fiat Panda to the house, which was in the middle of no where next to the owners house not even in the village it self. Though the place was new and it seems like they have just finished building it, we decided this is not for us. Then we have taken a decision to go to Kransjka Gora the original place that I wanted to spend new years, its a nice town in the border of Italy and Slovenia where the slopes are ending right in the center of the village and there are two bars and on Pizza place. The problem was that according to the research I have done except of one hostel the entire town was booked. That specific hostel wanted 60euro from each just for new years evening dinner, which we didn’t want to pay (we ended up eating kebab cause the whole restaurants in town was fully booked). At the end Shira walked in to the hostel and was able, probably by using her charm to get us a room for 35 euro per person for two nights with breakfast. Not a bad deal. The room was crapy and cold and we could hear everything that is happening in the hostel but it was good enough for us. The countdown we have spent in the freezing square with fire works and live music and screaming in Slovenian and off course after few beers it all started to make sense. Hello 2011.


On the first and the second of January 2011 we snowboarded, enjoyed a nice and not very big resort but I think it fit us perfectly. They also had night snowboarding. They had projectors on the slopes and the feeling was amazing so quit and peaceful I loved it.



The entire time with Shira was amazing and she left today back to Israel, now I have a paper to write and some time to relax until second semester starts on the 10th of January.


I wish you all a great year, and make a change it will come back to you.


Good things happen to good people.

Love

Itamar
