21st to 25th of February, 2020.
I chose not a very good time to come to Brno. Not that I chose, but you know… The thing is it is a vacation period from school this week, so a lot of people are going out of town for small trips or something like that, so I got a lot of denials from CS. And since Mario and Katka would be in Milano until the 23rd, I had to find a place for my first 2 nights in town. Luckily, Jelena had hosted one CS from Brno once. She talked to him (since my CS requests were finished) and he accepted to host me.
I meet Manuel at the main train station and we leave to his apartment. My time with him is nice and funny, but still, like Jelena, sometimes I feel that he talks too much. But he also understands when I have to do some stuff on my computer, like sending some other CS requests. But as I said, we have a good time walking around Brno, he brought me to some sight seen, and the best part was the Brazilian night. Some friends of him invited us to a Brazilian Night with a lot of Forró dances and I got very up to it. That day I also got a CS message from one nice girl I would like to stay with it and now she could host me. I invited her (which she also had suggested anyway) to come out with us to the Brazilian Night, so we met at the Pub.
The place is actually a Restaurant kind of thing, not a smoky, low lights and noisy bar, the first thing I already liked. We have a table reserved for us thanks to Ilhana, Manuel’s friend. The music is really good, luckily no shitty and obscene Forró, so I am happy for that too. I meet some Brazilians too, which is nice, and apart of dancing Forró, I ended up dancing some Samba too, since they played some of my favorites, like Tiro ao Álvaro, with Adoniran Barbosa and Elis Regina. I have just one beer, a delicious dark one. Manuel’s friend are super cool and Petra, the other CS I invited, is just amazing! She is pretty cool and also so beautiful! Or maybe I saw one thing because of another…? I do not know. I have the feeling that we knew each other for long a time already and also that our paths will cross again. We left the place around midnight.
Next day Mario and Katka came to pick me up around noon. I am so glad to see them and we have two really nice days. They served me some traditional Czech meals (and Italian delicatessens too, since they have just came back from Milano) and Czech beer; we watch movies and have loads of nice chats. Always a pleasure to stay with the Cachias. They are one of my top favorite families in the world! In the last minute, I get a CS in Cesky Krumlov, my next destination. I supposedly would hitchhike to there, but as a surprise gift, Mario and Katka bought me a bus ticket. I am telling you, they are just the best! So when we are leaving to the bus station in Brno, the wonderful Katka even bombard me with sandwiches, apples, cakes and chocolate eggs. She is such a sweet lady and it suits her so naturally, as what she was doing was the most normal and simple thing in the world. I think she does not even realize how wonderful she is and how amazing the things she does are.
The ride to Cesky Krumlov it is all right and since I have to wait until 9 p.m. for my CSs to pick me up, I have planned to do a lot of writing and maybe even watch some F.R.I.E.N.D.S. And I could do that for a while until some annoying drunk people, together with some other guys, made me suspicious about their intentions. I know this is Czech Republic, but as far as I know, shit things happen everywhere. Besides, I am for many times alone inside of the waiting room, there is no security of any kind around. It is true there is a gas station about a hundred metres from outside but still, that is it. Anyway, I closed my computer and remained doing nothing for three whole hours. Well, not exactly “nothing”, I was rehearsing in my head what I would had / be able to do if those guys attacked me. Luckily nothing happened. I hate drunk people!
