Hike to Ratitovec (1678)

We keep the hiking trend going and this time we conquered Ratitovec. Matjaž, as usually, had schnapps prepared to reward us after the ascend and we had some good food in the hut on the top. Enjoy some photos and quite comical footage of our descend from the mountain in the tricky terain.

Trip to Venice - 25.2. 2017

We decided to visit Venice during the Carnival (whose fucking idea was that ?!), we saw generic costumes, we were facing the stampead of tourists, we were served mediocore food  and overpriced ice-cream but the architecture was nice. I would give it 7/10.

Slovenian movie night - Moj ata socialistični kulak

On Sunday 5th of March we had the first Slovenian movie night ! Matjaž, our coordinator, introduced us to a comedy, critically portraying the life in a small village during the socialist times when meat was not yet allowed to be butchered but once the communism came, there would be plenty. Enjoy some photos from the evening .
Smrt fašiszmu ! Bog daj.

Winter-snowy-cold hike to Porezen (1630)

On a cold morning of Janury 29th, we set on a long and cold adventure. What made this journey special was the extraordinary cold that went through all our clothes and deep into the bones. As we walked up the hill to reach our target - Porezen - we were falling, sometimmes knee deep, into snow, whitch was also cold. Nevertheless we got to the top and it was worth it, for it was cold AND windy there. Once we came back down, it was cold there too, so it was not much of an improvement. Screw this winter already.

EVS Space Pirate Party

There was supposed to be amazing invitation video for the party, but it came late. There was supposed to be a footsal tournament, but there wasn`t. There was supposed to be air guitar competition, but there wasn`t. Nevertheless it was a party worth remembering with Kloštar, karaoke and a proper treasure hunt ! Enjoy some photos from the party and a short movie we made to accompany it.
P.S. Special thanks to Rok and Vid for the movie !

Jam session

Ostriga has never been so cozy! With few instruments, a big carpet, some lights and many good people, it's easy to create good vibes. Music connects people and that's why we are looking forward to organize another jam. Thanks to everybody for coming. 

Hiking to Viševnik

Lithuanian movie night with kepta duona !

Traditional sunday we had a Lithuanian movie night with some revolution in our hearts ! 
Greta showed a short documentary movie about Lithuanian independence path. Its a story about singing revolution, about people who raised their independence with the smiles and songs regardless of the danger of the situation. We also tried some Lithuanian cuisine and  indeed kepta duona (fried bread) left everyone speechless.

Hiking to Lanjnar and Možič

EVS Movie Night- Italia

The first movie presented this year was: Tre uomini e una gamba (Three men and one leg).
The movie is a road trip comedy with three friends struggling with an essential life choice: economical safety or freedom.
Good movie, company and free food made this winter day warmer compare with low temperature outside! :)
Next week, Lithuanian Night...

Let's Swing

Let's Swing was the latest amazing event, organised by Greta and Peter.
The event started off with lindy-hop lesson tought  by Jure and Ana from Studio Dansa. After that people enjoyed swinging and watching Buster Keaton`s silent movie, The General. Popular cocktail recipes from 1940's gave people energy to dance (even despite missing ingredients ) and a lot of fun :) 
Something interesting is coming... The last EVS event of this year "EVS Space Pirate Party". Pirates (volunteers) whenever you are we need you!

Winter in Škofja Loka

EVS Movie Night - Russia

Third movie evening belongs to Russia.
Anton presented Brothers 2, an action movie. It describes high-profile businessmen involved in criminal activities, stereotypes of the "perfect" west: the forbidden dream of million people lived in dictatorship system in the past, prostitution, racism in USA etc.
One of the most main messages of the movie is: The truth is more powerful and strong than money!
Of course we tasted Vodka with pickled cucumber. Next movie, next year... :)

The XX concert. Zagreb. Adventures.

The trip to the concert was planned more than month ago. None of us is a huge fan of the XX, probably heard a couple of songs, but nothing more. But we were very excited, because it was a new experience, new city. We booked the tickets via online service, it costed approximately 25 euros, so the price was quite reasonable.

EVS Movie Nights - Albania

For the second movie evening, Mery presented Der Albaner, a German-Albanian movie describing the rough reality of illegal migration and the customs that still keep women subjugated to men's will.
We also found out that we prefer Albanian byrek and that they produce excellent alcohol (below you can clearly see the disappointment of our big boss Matjaz when Greta tried to mix it with Coca-Cola!).
Next week is Anton's turn, with a Russian action movie!

Global Awareness by Mdc Blok

So today we welcome a new favourite girl in our flat ! Her name is Neža and it is a bass guitar for our EVS band ! We just need to find some drums, amplifier and we will be ready to do some jamming session :) . Anyway we had to travel far away to buy the guitar and Matjaž showed us some interesting things on the way there and from there. We went to Italian border and saw old war memorial. Here are some photos from the day !

Musem of illusions, Ljubljana

We visited Museum of illusions  in Ljubljana, it was cool and we had fun but it is definitely not worth paying 8 euros for it. Anyway, check out some photos and videos we made there !

Jam Graff Session in Ostriga. Let's spray some paints out!!

Empty walls are the best place to create an art. Four graffiti masters from France and Slovenia met in Ostriga, Škofja Loka, to promote the graffiti/street-art to a diverse public. Theme was based on jungle, Mayan civilisation, deep ocean sight. Different style artists showed us how to achieve an amazing result with simple tools!

We are so proud of our EVS volunteer, Gautier from France, who promoted this awesome event and also thanks to all the people who came, helped and supported.
