Euro in Slovenia

For New Year we (my girlfriend an me) were in Ljubljana, she studies there so we stayed in her apartment.
We met some friends and had a very good time. We were also eagerly waiting the adoption of the Euro. On the 1st of January I changed the last Slovenian tolars by simply buying a hot dog. The money they gave me back was in Euro. It was a magic moment - those nice shiny coins all new. I was proud of Slovenia.

After that we started inserting in EuroBillTracker the money we got in Slovenia. It was nice, finally the "black hole", in which a lot of the money we were tracking was going, disappeared.

On the 4th January a new Slovenian user published an article in one of the major Slovenian new sites and started a true avalanche. In just seven days 2174 new users joined from Slovenia and inserted 17065 Euro notes into the database. That made Slovenia jump to rank 10 - just above Ireland and Greece, that are in the Euro-zone since 5 years.
Everyone at EBT was very happy and was looking with astonishment at those numbers. Let's hope that the users will continue to insert notes and be active.
On my side I'm trying to publish another article about the Slovenian users joining EBT. That could start another wave. I hope to have it for tomorrow.

Today I've got the quote from the construction company. I looks good, not as good as I was hoping, but still a reasonable price.

Long silence...

I didn't post anything for almost a month. Bad things happened.
On the 21st December my best friends girlfriend died. She was 22. I was shocked. Because of my injury I couldn't be so much with him as I wanted to. It was a hard experience when he was asking me why that happened, why to them...
I had no answer. I usually have an answer for almost everything or at least try to logically analyse everything. Not for that...
There is no logic, there is no answer. I wanted to cry myself, but managed not to because of my friend. I felt I have to be strong and try to support him.
It was probably a worthless effort, he has to get over it by himself. It would not happen in a day. I want to help him. I have to be with him.

There are so much things you take for granted... a smile a hug from the person you love... being together and planning the future. In a snap it goes away and you remain there... lost.

Today was her funeral...
I hope, Ana, you are in a wonderfull place now!
