Bloody hell. After a conference dinner consisting of red cabbage, something very related to Norwegian lefse and grilled goose, with plenty of wine to go with it, I ended up discussing with my professor and a PhD student from another department (still a Norwegian) about whether or not the Scandinavian countries should form a common football league with 5 clubs from Norway, 5 from Sweden and 5 from Denmark - or not. I'm very skeptical to that because earlier attempts to do this - albeit being between regular league seasons - have attracted crowds of 100-500 rather than 10 000 - 15 000. Now my female Iranian colleague, who doesn't touch alcohol, returned to the hotel.
After this, the slivovic came back. The German fella with a baby returned to his hotel after having a little taste of it. As the good drinker I am, I think I had most of all, and of course discussed more footy with other Norwegians as well as ice hockey with the Slovaks before the discussion turned to ice hockey, the weather and tram schedules in Bratislava.
Then we returned to the hotel. Only me and "my" professor went to the hotel bar for a few beers. After discussing music for three beers or so, we pretty much agreed that Led Zep and Black Sabbath rock - but besides that, he will stick with Neil Young and Bob Dylan. I think I'll stick with Maiden and Priest.
Na zdrowje!
