Friday night, hungry from travelling and frozen by the snow, we chose a small restaurant in one of the cosy medieval streets of Ljubljana, restaurant Robba. This turned out to be a great culinair experience for an affordable price. I wonder if an even better restaurant can be found in town. The food was simply delicious. It was far from the mainstream food you often get in restaurants, the flavors were nicely selected and balanced; in short, a real sensation. The same goes for the home mixed juices, and all that in a stunning designed and welcoming entourage, with friendly staff and nice music... they even played our own Milow!
On saturday, two lovely Slovenian friends took us on a wonderful outing in the Slovenian mountains, more precisely to Krvavec, the second largest ski resort in the country. The snow covered scenery was impressive and after the climb to the top we enjoyed some traditional local mountain dishes. "Jota" is a bean and sauerkraut soup, "Skutini Struklji" a cheese-curd pastry topped with sweet berries. As Belgians, we couldn't skip having a taste of the local beer Lasko. Pivovarna Lasko is the leading Slovenian Beer Brewery and goes back to 1825. It survived the turbulent political tidings the country went through in the last two centuries and is an example of Slovenian entrepreneurship.

On Sunday, it was raining cats and dogs; the ideal moment for some indoor activities. First, we went to the English mass where I met up with other Erasmus students. Afterwards the group split up, one part went swimming and the other part (including myself) visited the world famous and controversial exibition "Our body". For this exibition, preserved human bodies have been dissected in different ways, thus displaying the different bodily systems. A local medical student was available to give us some explanation. This visit proved a good repetition of my anatomy classes. However, walking along the bodies, lined up in real life poses, gave a mixture of feelings and thoughts, ranging from ethical concerns to fascination, sensation, and sometimes a feeling of disgust when observing how much the human flesh looks like the meat in the butcher's shopping window. In the end, I think my medical interest won, after seeing the placental vascularisation and being able to look into the female pelvis. It was an impressive experience and a good kick off of my midwifery nursing internship that will start this week.
