Introducing My New, Crazy, & Adventurous Life



          Ahoj volam sa Emani! Now if you did not understand what I had said then you obviously don’t know Slovak. That’s okay though because I’ll translate for you- Hello my name is Emani! Now you have some Slovak stored for the future. A little about me, I’m 16 years old and I am from Salem, Oregon which is on the west coast of the United States, and I am currently living in Zilina, Slovakia but to be more specific my village is called Dolna Tizina. You’re probably pronouncing it wrong because 1. You do not speak Slovak and 2. I don’t know how to add all the special markings with my computer. Anyways you’re probably wondering how I found myself in a little European country that many people still think is Czechoslovakia (it is not the country split in the 90’s.) The exchange program I am going through is Rotary Youth Exchange, in short RYE. I am sponsored by District 5100, which is northern Oregon and a small part of south of Washington, and am hosted by District 2240 which is Czech Republic and Slovakia. This program has many more branches besides youth exchange which happens to be a huge plus for anyone involved with it. I will be living in Slovakia until the end of June or the first two weeks of July 2016. I arrived here August 29th 2015 so as you can tell I’ll be here a little over 10 months. Throughout my blog I’m not going to sugar coat anything, I’ll give you ALL of my highs and lows. I’ll also attach fun/interesting pictures from my time spent here. Dovidenia!  Goodbye!

  2. Your district is 5100 (not 1500) :-)
    And how to add č,š,ť,á,ý,í,é,ľ etc.? Go to "Control Panel " and install Slovak keyboard (or use F1 -Help - How to change the language or os :_)
