In the Czech Republic, we have a very archaic educational system. It is absolutely based on learning facts - we learn dates of important battles, names and books of famous writers, typical signs of various art and architectural styles, hierarchy of plants and animals, area, capital city and number of inhabitants of different countries or chemical formulas. All these things we must carry in our

I work as a consultant for creating websites that have profit, that return investments put in it. I have to figure out many disciplines of web design - usability, search engine optimization, information architecture, marketing, accessibility and so on. But this is not the thing I want to write about.Last month one of my friends from Czech web design community went to USA. Among other events he

Panel houses (prefabs) are a very common type of living in the Czech Republic. They are made of big concrete panels, they have about ten storeys and usually many entries - one prefab contains in fact more prefabs, each with its own address and entry.Prefabs were built at the communist times, because there was (and today still is) a big lack of flats and houses. Many prefabs were built in one

I started exercise yoga when I was 15 years old. I have never been interested in collective sports like aerobic. I always felt awkwardly after I found courage to enter aerobic lesson. I wasn't able to learn steps and configurations. Always I ended these lessons like knocked person. And that is verbatim, because another women could learn the stupid steps and I was able only to bump them and fell

Yesterday I watched Hostel, a film presented by my favourite film maker Quentin Tarrantino. I expected something as good as Sin City, Kill Bill or Pulp Fiction, but Hostel really disappointed me.If you don't know what Hostel is: it is about three young men (two of them Americans) who come to Slovakia, they get to know some girls there, then they are caught by some deviant people who torture them

Czech Republic is a very free country. I think far more free than the USA - my opinion is that in this country everybody talks about freedom, but the practice is different. In the Czech Republic:You can smoke a joint almost everywhere you want. There is no strong repression against it, you don't have to be afraid that the cops will treat you like a criminal. Moreover, according to a research 50 %

I worked as a salesgirl in two big supermarkets to make some pocket money. I have been working there for more than 3 years (as a student there aren't many possibility how to earn some money). And I really hated Saturday mornings.These days supermarkets offered discount for some goods (for your imagination a small example: a pound of chicken meat usual costs 129 crowns and with discount it's 109

In the Czech Republic, last three winters, including this one, were very hard. Today it started to snow again and I start to be desparate. :-) It looks like summer has no intention to get back - during last two summers there were no more than ten nice sunny days. Most of the time it was very cold. (Maybe I should tell you that in our country there are usually hot summers - suitable for swimming -

I often travel by train. As a student I have a large discount, so it is the most advantageous means of transport. Moreover, I can work on my notebook in the train. But I feel very awkwardly, when I meet some foreigners there.The reason for it is that everything on the railway is old, dirty and ugly:The trains are usually 30 and more years old and they look each time that this journey is their
