In Bratislava, and especially in its historic downtown, can be found many nice bars, pubs, restaurants and night clubs. My favorite was Irish club which is famous by its international community.

First I thought that everyone will speak in English at the host university. I was a bit disappointed when I had to find out that it was not the case. Many local students did not understand me and the teachers often had a very bad accent.
