We departed from Vienna, Austria via Regiojet. Regiojet coach are clean, friendly crews, free coffee, and cheap bus ticket to Bratislava, Slovakia. The bus ticket price is €5.00, Archievald astound the ticket price, how do they profit for only €5.00? then Archievald discovered that there are lots of tourist coming from Vienna to Bratislava, so I assume that’s a lot of profit not for only the Regiojet but also the local people in Bratislava. It takes only 1-hour to reach Bratislava, we hop-off in “Most Slovenského národného povstania” commonly referred as SNP or Nový most.

When Archievald arrived in Nový most, the first thing I did was bought cheap souvenirs. Souvenirs outside downtown is cheaper so I bought 2, one for mine and the other one for my girlfriend. The slovaks people are nice, I used to ask them about some directions and info if my Google Map (I used to ask some local people to know how they will respond to the tourists).

For a long-walk, Archievald discovered the beauty of Bratislava, Slovakia. Goods here are cheaper compared to Vienna, their main downtown are covered with beautiful apartments and buildings. The main district is alive and walkable city, filled with people, tram-lines, buses, and lots of businesses. We have plans to go to Bratislava Castle, unfortunately we don’t have enough time because already booked a return-ticket in advanced. Tram is one of the main public transportation here to downtown district, Archievald also noticed some local people, they are honest. One time I was confused the souvenir, I paid €10.00 then I forgot to get the changed, the owner/employee quickly run outside to chase me then gave me the changed.

Archievald was filled with joy and happiness in Bratislava. Bratislava is a small city but a diverse and unique culture. I’ve also talked one of the local people here in Bratislava, Slovakia, she said that Slovaks people are happy when they joined the European Union. Tourism boosted, businesses rises, and the quality of life improved. Well, I am also happy when Italy joined the European Union, Archievald can travel around Europe without worrying too much in securing VISA.
