Almost everyone had arrived today and in an effort to get to know each other we all decided to go to eat together. Not listening to our director’s recommendation to go down the street, we decided to follow Garrett and Tila to a pizza place.
They explained that they’d been on public transportation all week and hadn’t been asked to see their tickets more than once and before we know it a tram was pulling up and we were all hoping on ticketless. (Luckily we weren’t caught! Since then we’ve been asked for our tickets regularly though.)
Our navigators ended up proving unreliable and we got off at a very sketchy truck stop area to turn around. Nothing like being in a big group of people who are obviously lost and foreign.
We finally found our way though, crossed the Danube and entered the pizza shop—and sight in and of itself.
The walls were decorated with a communist theme (chicken wire, barbed wire, red stars and an angry woman on the wall behind us!). Needless to say it was a strange first dinner even before the food arrived.
Still, the waiter was very helpful and even asked another party to move so we could all sit at the same table. That was a pretty good way to get to know everyone.
