Concert Abundance

First of all I would like to say that I visited the Scholarship Fare and made some good contacts and gathered useful information. I was given a handout of a London private postgraduate school which has a spacial offer for students coming from Croatia, but the catch is you still have to pay a tuition sum and your accommodation expenses, which are quite high in London. Another cool scholarship is the one from the American embassy, which if you get picked pays for everything. Here you have to pas an international English language test and a preliminary test of knowledge in the field you are interested in.

Since all my posts absolutely cannot pass trough without a food experience or retrospection I will just say that I perfected my sushi skills. I received my order of smoked tofu and for that reason made avocado, tofu sushi rolls. Just look at my masterpiece.



I also went to Vrutak Vine shop, and ended up with two sorts I haven't tried before on the recommendation of the personnel working there, all from the San Pedro wine makers of Chile. One is a Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 called Castillo de Molina, which according to Vrutak staff , resembles Caliterra Cabernet Sauvignon (one of my favorites) at more favorable price. The other is a Shiraz of the same wine maker, an up the ladder version of Gato Negro Shiraz called 35 South, which I opened yesterday and found it quite good and rich flavored but not much of an improvement from Gato Negro version.

Last night was the start of concert rich weekend. I went to Kset for a British Ska punk band which made quite a show last night. They have a female vocal with a very funny voice. I first thought their songs were in Japanese, she has a very high voice that in a few occasions pierced my eardrums. Another downturn was that the venue was packed and there was no air inside so I almost collapsed a couple of times.
My friend from Makarska is coming this afternoon and we are going to see Discharge play in Mochvara tonight. Ohh, almost forgot, Pero is also coming later this day to visit his new girlfriend and for the catch of the month, Beatsteaks playing a show in Zagreb with Overflow as the opening band. He keeps saying that he is going to stay at my place, but he will probably end up at her crib, I truly hope he will.

Another ting I found out this morning is that I have to finish my part of the FDD seminar I'm having with my colleagues, by Sunday. This happening during my friends stay is highly improbable, so I have until 2pm today to get that done. A rainy day outside goes in favor...
