Eco-friendly desperation

Verjapes !
Finally !
Finalmente!
– This range of words would have continuation if I knew the translation in other languages too….. I am in Europe but still longing to find myself again in civilization and the bus, appearing near horizon, taking to Budapest is the lighthouse for me !
-Ok, ok I agree that I will look mad if you were able to see the flow of thoughts around my mind at this moment but the only thing I want right now is to leave this place ASAP.
Like everyone who gets the news that they are going to Europe the main thing crossing in front of your eyes are selfie shoots near the old,unique buildings, interesting museums, worldfamous statues and surely I wasn’t an exception too but here comes a big BUT. It happened so that we should spend 5 days in a Slovakian Eco village, at first it looked normal till the moment a man looking like the hero Rubeus Hagrid in the movie of Harry Potter came to meet us, it was obvious that this “world” is different from the one I lived till now.
-“OMG” ! – the automatic usage of this phrase have been normal during these 5 days of me being here. 1st time it came out of my mouth when I was told that I should climb a high wooden ladder to get to the roof where on hays we should sleep under the condition of the humidity reaching above 90 degrees (the smell of onion hanging from the ceiling tried to be unseen)…. 2nd- NO MEAT and SHOULD EAT WHATEVER SERVED ! (Sorry mom, from now on I will eat whatever you make)…. 3rd NO BATH until you collect wood to heat the water ! …. 4th – YELLOW WATER (If you don’t want to die from thirst then die from our water)! ….5th NO phone! 6th NO TV !....7th of course NO INTERNET !....8th ….! 9th….! 10th….! ….etc

The last, reliefed look on the three buildings that formed that eco village and I feel I will never be back again !
At the same time I am sure I would remember these days whole my life but probably with laughter and smile, and why not with a pride on my face from the thought that not everyone would have that opportunity and courage to have such a lifelong remembered experience as me.
Now time to explore the Europe of my imagination…BUDAPEST I am coming….
