Few words about tombola

Tombola is a word I've leaned in Austria, as it is an integral part of any Viennese ball:) It's should be also a part of ours. So what is it? Basically, this is a lottery among the people who bought special tickets. And in order to make it fun and successful every ball committee has to prepare nice prices.

What can it be? whatever people would love to have, even small things but still nice ones. Yesterday we made our first effort to find some presents. The strategy was simple, we just went from store to store asking for things. Before this adventure local people told me that every third (!) shop would give us sth. I thougt, wow, it would be nice.

The first I thing 10 stores were not fun at all, with the exception of one where woman told us not just that she has nothing for us, but also that her 3 daughters need her money all the time... In fact, she was strange. Then we found finally one shop where we got stuff! hmmm, a mirrow, a small bag, some cosmetics... Well, guys, despite the fact what we didn't really do it well, I am still optimistic as always:) We got lots of phone numbers of bosses of different stores and even one guy was really nice and promised to help! So, wish us good luck and I hope it will be fun!
