Tuesday tradition

On Tuesday I usualy volunteer on one project and afterwards we, the volunteers, usualy go to drink somewhere in the park. After few months it seems to become a tradition. It probably started as a kind of therapy after volunteering.

I brought Becherovka from Czech Republic. Sometimes we discuss about life and things which we like. This time we just played some drinking games. It was funny to notice how at some point one person usually gets too much confused so he/she makes more errors and needs to drink more. And then he/she recovers and some other person starts to loose more. Everybody process the alcohol differently which makes it more interesting, you can notice this ups and downs. And of course, everything became more funny. My analitical brain wanted to draw a graph showing our performances through time.

When we drank the bottle, we wandered around searching for a bar. And we enter the 16th Meridian. It was a bar which I always wanted to visit, ever since I saw it for the first time when I was in high school. Not because someone recommended it, I just felt like going there. Finaly it happened spontaneously, just the way it is suppoused to be. They had some home made rakija. The place looks nice. It was empty when we came. Just as we started talking, a new visitor entered the bar and we started a conversation with him. He is German, living nearby, just came from work at International German School where he teaches math and natural sciences. It was very pleasent conversation and very warm atmosphere. The owner was talking with us, so I asked him about this place. It was made in 1982. At that time, there wasn't a mark of the 16th meridian nowhere in Zagreb, but after they made this bar, city drew a line nearby at the more precise place of the meridian. It happens to be that Michael is protector of 16th Meridian (according to the owner of the bar) which made me feel more connected to all this arround me. We all departed with shaking our hands.
