Eastern Europe: SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE

In a few weeks we will be graduating from medical school to finally pursue our dreams of becoming doctors but with this dream comes change. For some of us we are staying local, others are moving across the country to far lands where then have never been before and others are only moving a few miles away. Thus for some of us we are leaving our family and great friends of over 5 years but the good times and friendships will always last. However while somethings in life do change others don't! And for these 2 Californnia Kids and one California convert from Jersey....we maintain certain standards of a socal lifestyle even when half way around the world.

1. TURBO SUPER BRONZE

From the beaches of Jezera, Central Budapest, the streets of Prague... we never let country or weather stop us from beoming super bronze. In Croatia we were blessed with beautiful weather, phemominal beaches and Ante's Booze Cruise( Dereks Uncle taking us around the Islands on his little motor boat---post above). However as we entered Budapest, the tan skin that was abundant throughout Crotia was beginning to fade, we had to find a solution fast.

That is where we found Turbo Super Bronze Solerium(TSBS), to both maintain our Vitamin D levels and our basal bronze layer. Not only did the TSBS give us the bronze we needed but we also got a solid sauna and jacuzzi in as well( obviously banding was invovled). I hope Harvard is ready because Derek and I are going to try and convert a lounge room at MGH to a TSBS....It is for the greater good and we feel many will benefit!! Those OR lights just dont provide the bronze we need haha.

Next we ventured to Prague where the weather was supposed to be rainy but we were blessed with 4 days of beautiful weather perfect for walks through old town, the castle and of course bronzing in the beer gardens.

We are leaving Prague tonight to head to the beaches of Crimea in Ukraine where Turbo Super Bronzing will become even more Turbo... stay turned....

2. ICE PUB--THE COLD CAN'T PHASE US

As DK posted earlier, one night we went to a 5 story club in Prague. It wasn't really our scene however to salvage the cover and journey we ventured into the ICE PUB. We suited up in warm silver jackets and thick wool gloves to enter the ice pub where vodka would be tasted and Alex would feel right at home. Upon entering the ice pub we immediatly liked the experience. The vibe in the bar was cool, ice sculptures surround the bar and a throne made of ice fit for a King( or me Alex or Derek obviously haha) added to the scene. To seal the deal we drank vodka out of cups made of ice, which in my book was a first but hopefully not a last. During this experience Alex and I quickly realized that even though we are moving to colder climates than LA the cold cant hold us back....so of course we went shirt less in the ice pub.. yes thats right... shirt less. I will say after that experience Boston scares me less and I'm alittle more excited to face the harsh winters the northeast is going to bring. Plus those jacket are super turbo cool and I cant wait to get some baller winter cloths for Boston!! The east coast is not ready for the invasion!!

3. SOUP TOUR OF EUROPE

So as some of you may know Derek, Bian and I love soup. We can eat it at any meal, any time of the day or in any weather. So taking this to heart we have converted Alex to our ways and are draining eastern europe of all its soup supply. Below are a few pictures of some of the soups we have tried. We will continue to post about fantastic soups and hopefully convince you that it is a must have appetizer before any meal. More specifics to come later.....
