Vapours contributors Adam Gilhespy and Andrew Fenwick were sent to report on the Pohoda Festival in Slovakia for a rival publication. Initial suspicions that the festival was a massive fundraising effort for an anti-abortion campaign proved unfounded, and Enjoy Bratislava and Slovakia magazine made a superb guide for the weekend:
Stop to smoking
“The [no smoking] act actually in force orders the owners of bars to separate these two [smoking and non-smoking] zones but in practice often the imaginary boundary is formed by vacuum or other meaningless absurdity.”
Drivers, Beware!
“The influence of drugs used before the ride is different. Some kinds suppress and slow down the reactions, others on the contrary evoke accelerated reactions and a sensation of dauntlessness.”
Celebrations of victory all over Europe
“A war that spread almost to the whole world, killed tens of million of civilians and soldiers, destroyed innumerable quantity of towns and caused property and cultural damage of incalculable dimensions.”
Undignified primacy
“Despite the tendency of constant reduction of unemployment, in the scale of all EU member countries we are still in the desperate last place.”
