Class #4 was held on May 17 and that successfully concluded the ‘Cooking to a Better Life’ program thanks to David’s dedicated effort and passion on cooking. The venue was made possible with Tim’s assistance and coordination. A DVD video summarizing the whole course will be sent to each participant after editing is completed.
When I first told people that we would want to spend a week driving around in Croatia and Slovenia prior to joining a river cruise from Budapest to Bucharest, most would give me a sidelong glance before showing interest. Even my wife had misgivings up to the point of our departure. She heard many horror stories of how tourists got stranded and robbed, especially in countries with foreign cultures and foreign languages. She told me she even prayed very hard at church. As it turned out, her prayers were fully answered because we had one of the most relaxing and enjoyable weeks ever. We encountered zero problems throughout. There was no difficulty in communicating as English was truly a global language, especially in the hospitality circles, failing that, body language worked wonders too. On the whole, we found people in both countries very friendly. We never met anyone unwilling to answer our questions, be they for direction or general information. The roads in cities and highways were in excellent repairs and when the sceneries were also pleasing to the eyes, the trip became a total pleasure.
