E 'crossed the river Lajta. Same accommodation search, I found an inn, where to stay, I leave an hour and rest.
City full of traffic given the proximity of the border but with very green and clean, there are locations of all sorts, as one imagines in a border town. Not to me, the very place, I decide to stay close to the hotel and lunch at a kiosk that prepares skewers of meat. I know the characters unique and fun, especially truck drivers passing through, who stopped to rest just before entering Slovakia, but to me it seems only an excuse because they have drunk an excessive amount of beer.
In order not to drink, given their insistence, invented the usual story that will be...





repeated many times during the trip.
Who has the habit of getting drunk, the reaction was most often positive, there are those who are asleep and those who become violent but more often than not, the drink loosens their inhibitions, or as in the case of truck drivers with which I am in the company that want to express their ideas and thoughts.
As often happens between men, talk about sports or women rarely talk politics, they opt for sex "weak", Sich!

"Dear Italian friend, we women do not love us, women are not the East like yours, passionate, jealous, possessive, they are devoted to the family. We should be happy, right? Maybe you do not know which species the generations of the 50 and 60, suffered much of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the difficulties that my people had to endure have been enormous, the lack of employment, loss of a reference aid both moral and financial and social security has been dissolved, especially men, in many cases, have felt suddenly useless and abandoned by the protection and the ideals on which counted.
Entire families have suffered from this, with a sharp increase in divorce due to the impossibility of man to be able to support the family.
This woman has been stronger and has not abated and has preferred to think of divorce for children almost always keeping his job while he was miserable. This is due to the different culture of freedom that the Western world and Eastern Europe have pursued over the past 60 years, caused by the non-free circulation of ideas and prevented the Cold War. In most cases, the only purpose of the woman from the East was formed a family unit does not matter how man, who had enough capacity to help support her and their children. The understanding and the feelings of attraction and love was not the most important thing to form a pair of married couples did not have the culture of "Choosing to love" is the man that the woman tried to get married very soon, given by social and cultural habits of the community, not looking after the economic difficulties since in general, the state thought of everything. Now I realize that all this stands for luck, even if slowly changing, young people no longer rush to get married and start to enjoy the freedom to choose the person with whom to share a possible peaceful coexistence with equal rights and duties. "

I realize that the fumes of alcohol may also intristire, but a little reflection, I realize, that my generation in Western countries, has made a strong contribution to that "free choice" in the choice of life companion becomes a change cultural revolution in the relations between man and woman.
Generations before I had the same cultural habits of the Eastern countries, including Italy's concern and interest of the community was that young people are married soon, especially the women were otherwise at best now implicated as maids and were accustomed to i sensali combining family and marriage without even consulting the mutual satisfaction of the young bride and groom.
After exchanging greetings to everyone here, I decide to go and visit the castle namesake more than a castle looks like a large house almost triangular with a courtyard and some works of art inside. I'll be back in town and wander through the streets of the time I go to bed for a good night's sleep without dinner.
I am just 21 and this is not a city that offers much after sunset.
