One can see and get really familiar with all instruments that can be found in Slovakia. We also went to see, at least partially, the main exposition at the castle. As I have been going to Slovakia and Bratislava every year, almost more than once a year, since 1987, somehow this year I have noticed the increased tourist traffic. In the old town one can see many groups of tourists with their guides explaining the history of the town in many languages. I feel this is great.
Embassies are everywhere, specially in the old town, almost next to each other.
We have also visited my friends at the Jewish museum and discovered that they added two more rooms to their display at the main floor that used to be the old prayer rooms. In the afternoon we went by a boat across the river Danube to Petrzalka's amusement park where Mathew tried his driving skills at the motorcars. He was great. During Expo 86 in Vancouver I met many dancers from the best Slovak amateur folk ensemble Lucnica. We became friends and the friendship continues.
