Looks pretty nice and cheap, also creme brulee _love:!

I have never dined in a restaurant with 2 michelin stars though, damian do you know any ?

Thats the Cote!

And no 2* restaurants in Brum as far as I'm aware...

The only way I can think of you spending 100 per head in Bank is if youse got 4/5 courses and at least one of those involved steak lol.

3 courses.. one involved steak, I think its all i eat to be honest

GF had some funky main to, and starters were £££

We'll only be there for one night, and that's wednesday I think, so not that much of an opportunity to party :(. We'll see :).

Tha Bank seems pretty interesting as well, steaks for 50pounds, nice!

Will probably still stick to cheaper restaurants, and save the more expensive ones for when I come there with my GF :).

if u want steaks, i def recommend a restaurant called carnevalle... or el gaucho

http://carnevalle.sk/

probably the best steak ive had here, and its not expesive es well.... a 300g fillet costs like 30 euros, and the restaurant is in a city center.... the other one, el gaucho is like 200 meters away from carnevalle, not expensive either :)

Hey guys,

time to make a report for the last couple of days :).

Bratislava

We woke up on wednesday at like 5am and went to the airport slowly... to arrive at the airport at around 6.45 (had a flight at 7.30). Of course there were like 200 people in line waiting for a security check, so we had to skip the whole line to be able to catch the plane .

Luckily, we made it on time and safely arrived to Vienna from where we took a bus to Bratislava. There we went to a bakery where mindan forced me to order the sandwiches in Slovak, which obv. resulted in everyone around me laughing at my pronunciation .

And then we waited for TLN to come and get us, which took quite a long time since he woke up relatively late and also got lost on the way to the bus station .

From there, we went to his flat, had breakfast and went shopping for food. He has a really sick flat btw, and two awesome fish which move the sand and stones around the aquarium all the time :).

TLN decided that it was unfair that he was more tired than we are, so he took us to a wellness in Senec, which is a city half an hour away from Bratislava by train. We almost missed the train (and would have done so if it wasn't delayed ), and when the train stopped at our stop we almost failed to get off it in time.

The wellness place was really nice and cheap. We had a water slide contest there (I won with 12.1 seconds, TLN and mindan had times so slow that they are not worth mentioning), and also a pullup contest which TLN's perseverance won.

We also played with a ball in the water and visited a lot of saunas which was pretty cool and TLN's plan of making us tired kind of worked .

After that, we went to have dinner to some super cheap restaurant where TLN found out that ginger ale is awesome and we also had a pretty nice and cheap meal.

When we returned to Bratislava, we also went and visited a playground on the castle. That was actually quite fun and I have some pictures from it, but I'll upload them later on because I don't have the camera here (please remind me about it in a week ).

Back at the place, we played this game:

I was red, TLN was blue and mindan was green. I kind of lost.

We wanted to watch the movie The peaceful warrior before going to sleep, but couldn't really do it as our concentration levels were below ice .

Oh yeah, and TLN also prepared a nice meal for us containing milk, oatmeal and some other things (coconut flour and sugar maybe?).

The next day we woke up at a reasonable time and had some interesting breakfast (yoghurt, dried fruits and coconut flour personally, others had similar things).

When TLN finally woke up, we went to play badminton where he beat me with his fake rules :(. But next time I will crush him !

Then we played quite a bit for fun 2v2 with mindan, TLN and his girlfriend where I made sure to make him run like hell and also hit him with the shuttles (and give him the opportunity to matrix-dodge them, which he often times didn't).

It was really a lot of fun :).

Afterwards we went to a super sick restaurant called Fou Zoo which I can confirm is super awesome. Definitely one of the best restaurants I've ever been to if not the best. The bill was only 300€ for 4, although we didn't drink much alcohol.

Some pics from the restaurant:

Tom Kha with seafood, was freaking awesome. Best soup I've ever eaten! It had mushrooms, chillies and lots of tiger prawns in it. Yum!

I think this was marinated tofu with something. Looked really nice, tasted ok.

Tiger prawns in wasabi and avocado sauce... Pure bliss. Best starter ever!

My sushi plate. Some rolls with spider crab, some rolls with lobster, foie gras and truffles, eel nigiri with pesto and parmezan and some prawn nigiri (they were sadly out of king crab one :().

Duck with foie gras

Steak with shiitakes

TLN with his girlfriend

Passion fruit, Mango and Pear sorbets

Chocolate mousse and Coconut something with gold

Chocolate ball... This was epic, you have to try it if you ever visit this place. I won't spoil it for you though, so won't describe it in detail :).

And this was us . Such an awesome dinner experience!

After dinner, we found out that there was a snow storm outside, but were lucky enough to get a cab, pack our things and go to the train station.

A top notch Bratislava trip, will surely come back there again. I will also write about Vienna in the following days, but that will take some more writing.

Often times a break needs to be taken between writing trip reports ;).

Often times, people visit Bratislava and have a good time.. Sometimes though, other cities like Vienna are also top-notch.

Oftentimes

The adverb oftentimes is an unnecessary variant of often. While using it is not an error, exactly, the word always bears replacement with the shorter word. The same can be said of the less common ofttimes.

Oftentimes is most common in the U.S. and Canada. We can’t explain this, but it does seem to be a trend; the word occurs more frequently in U.S. sources than it did even a decade ago—though occurrence of the word is still nowhere near its 19th-century peak. For instance, in a large number of American news stories from the year 2010, often appeared about 200 times for every instance of oftentimes, whereas the ratio was closer to 500:1 in 2000. In British publications, in contrast, oftentimes appears about once for every 4,000 instances of often—or essentially not at all.

Of course, often is just a longer way of saying oft (which goes back to Old English, predating often by many centuries), but no one uses that form. English can be strange.

Oftentimes people say that something is unnecessary, even though it is actually top-notch.

Besides sucking at poker, I never actively posted on any forum... Read a lot but never posted :)

Edit: Hmm, number of forum posts is not related to member level, is it? Haha :f_biggrin:

Exactly .

Whats up guys! Apparently I caught some weird food poisoning so I was pretty much useless for about a week :(. I've spent my time qualitatively puking in the toilet . So that's why there's been no updates about Vienna and Birmingham yet :(. But they'll come, don't worry.

I'm going to Paris tomorrow morning to celebrate our anniversary, so I'll be absent over the weekend as well.

However, I have some biiiiiiiiiig news :).

SkyrocketYourProductivity.com launched!

I've finally launched my own productivity blog at http://www.skyrocketyourproductivity.com :).

Any feedback on the blog would be highly appreciated ;).

The purpose of the blog is simply to share my information with other people than poker players, as it sucks when I tell people about the productivity guide and they immediately stigmatize it because of poker.

It's also nice to have my own website where I can have nicely organized articles and book reviews. I don't really expect any income from it in the near future, and I won't advertise on it apart from affiliate links from books.

With time, I might develop some of my own products (ebooks, online courses, etc.) which I will be able to market through the blog.

I will update the blog on a weekly basis by adding articles, and I will also write some book reviews whenever I feel like writing.

It would be awesome if you could share the blog with other people who are interested in productivity, it might help them improve their lives ;).

Enjoy guys, talk to you soon!
