Honor's dinner

The big event this week was the Honors Dinner at the Argosy Hotel.  My students were invited as special guests. The Argosy Hotel is near my apartment, up the hill on Babin Kuk, which means Grandmother's Hip. It is a peninsula that is shaped like a hip, but Zoran told us that the Austrian map makers took great liberties with the translations, and named some towns after unmentionable body parts. All my students showed up and dressed appropriately, one of the girls even went out and bought a Croatian outfit (photo Ellen and Noelle in short sweater dress, and Croatian boots). The Croatian women like to dress up. Some might describe them as Barbie dolls, they are very tall, wear short skirts and lots of make-up.  The men are all very tall, and I have seem a few Chicago Bulls hats in town (remember Toni Kukoc). We Americans are like rainbow slobs, we walk around in all colors, whereas the Croatians love to wear black. 

At the event an ACMT band played. The band is called USB (United States of Balkans) a play on words.  The buffet and bar were all you can eat, and I had my fill of fried calamari. Afterwards there were 2 after dinner parties (which I didn't attend), but on Wed. all my students were once again HUNG OVER!
