Compared with all of the views of Bratislava, I had from various movies (Hostel, Eurotrip) I was quite happy to see its a little different.

Actual Bratislava
I really enjoyed my brief time in Bratislava, there is a fantastic free walking tour that takes you around town and they have a nice castle (Rebuild completed in 2005). They also have the most fantastic blue church I have ever seen (It looks like a fairytale).
In my favorite bar, I thought I would try all 3 of the local dishes in one go. I asked for the mixed plate, and the waiter looked at me a little bit funny before asking: "Are you sure you want that". I assured him I did (it was a little expensive at almost 10euro), and he agreed to bring it. About 10 min later I found out why he had asked. The plate was actually 3 full size plates carved into a wooden plater containing Bryndzove Halusky (potatoes with sheep's cheese), Bryndzove Pirohy (Perogies), and Strapacky (Cabbage also known as Cabbage Halusky). All three were delicious but I don't think I even managed to eat half as they are all very heavy!
