Smidke

I’m just trying to find a SM site that is a good place to chat.

I’m called Smidke by most of my friends but my actual name is convoluted suffice to say I was called Anna at school. That seems like an Eternity and several lifetimes ago but I guess that is how it is!

I’m Eastern European 🇪🇺 who lives in Barcelona in Spain 🇪🇸. I have travelled 🧳 along many highways and byways, I fly a lot now but it used to be buses 🚌 that were my mode for travel 🧭. My past experiences with life have coloured me and changed me, so don’t think I’m a pushover for anything. Yes I have got some attitude about some things and some people but take care of your manners and we will get on. I’m not after any popularity awards, so if you want to be a friend you will have to be prepared for anything! 😂

I was born in Slovakia 🇸🇰 where I lived until I was six, but then we moved to Odessa in Ukraine 🇺🇦 from where we have been dispersed by the war, my parents are in Berlin, but I live here in Barcelona, yes and I like the football ⚽️ team too.


My friend says that I should add more here, so ok. I am blue-eyed and I have auburn coloured hair, I have no plans to dye it since it’s my natural colour. I am one metre seventy tall, and I have been told my features are typically Germanic rather than Ruthenian! Getting technical now, you’ll know what the first is but not the second!

Yes, I do work but it isn’t quite what I was trained to do at the university at home. I have been displaced by Putin’s war of annihilation from all I thought was my own life and home. I don’t think I want to talk about this any further as politics bores me so much.

If there’s something else you want to know about ask but I reserve my right not to answer any questions that I am uncomfortable with.

I should add, I think, I don't blindly accept each day as it arrives at the door. I hope to meet people on here (I still haven't had a decent conversation about anything months into my membership here) to converse about such matters as concern us all.


I am slow making friends, trust issues after some trouble on vk a couple of years ago. But if you are persistent and pleasant eventually I might add you, just persevere in your pleasantry.


My family are what is called Carpathian Germans from Slovakia. 🇸🇰 According to national censuses, there were 6,108 (0.11%) Germans in Slovakia in 2007, 5,405 in 2001, 5,414 in 1991 and 2,918 in 1980. A Carpathian German Homeland Association has been created to maintain traditions, and since 2005, there is also a museum of culture of Carpathian Germans in Bratislava. There are two German-language media that are assisted financially by the Slovak government: Karpatenblatt (monthly) and IKEJA news (Internet). There is also minority broadcasting in German on the Slovak radio. After the war, their countrymen, now living in Germany and Austria, founded cultural associations as well. There is also a Carpathian German Landsmannschaft of North America.

Amongst prominent member ethnic Germans in postwar Slovakia is Rudolf Schuster, the country's second president (1999–2004). Others e.g.

Vladimír Weiss, a name shared by three generations of Slovak footballers
Peter Sagan, Slovak international champion of bicycle race,
Branislav Gröhling, Slovak minister of education
Karol Šmidke, president of the Presidium of the Slovak National Council

The isolation of the German from countries in which German has been standardised (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland) has caused many obscure German dialects to continue to exist in Slovakia, but many are in danger of extinction.

In the Upper and Lower Zips regions (and later in Romania), the Zipser Germans spoke Zipserisch. A community of speakers remains in Hopgarten and speaks a distinctive dialect, Outzäpsersch (German: Altzipserisch, literally "Old Zipserish"). In Dobsina, they spoke what they called Dobschauisch or Topschauisch. In Metzenseifen (Medzev), they spoke Mantak, but only a few dozen people speak it today. The German schools were closed after World War II in all former German-speaking towns, and children were forced to learn Slovak. German was not to be used in the workplace or even publicly on the street.

The German minority in Slovakia has more or less always constantly been decreasing since the late 19th century onwards, according to the official Slovak national censuses. After 1947, their numbers gradually shrank even more in the wake of the expulsion of ethnic Germans from Czechoslovakia after World War II. We managed to remain because of our family name.


Oh, and since i have been approached so many times by people saying they are 'into girls' and 'no guys allowed', I am not lesbian, and I am not likely to share explicit photos here. Sorry GUYS!
