It’s an honor to study in the Czech Republic, being part of local culture, share the traditions, but sometimes I don’t clearly understand their traditions and customs. I really adore Christmas atmosphere, decoration, snow, good mood, nice people in public transportation and how every employee of different shops, banks, post offices wishes me “Veselé Vánoce”. It’s a pity that I am already out of the Czech Republic and I didn’t have the chance to enjoy the streets of snow and how Czechs really enjoy staying in queues for Christmas presents . Speaking about customs and traditions, is it there somebody who is able to explain me the tradition of staying in the queues for at least 30 minutes, when outside is -10C and to buy carp? I like carp, but I don’t like freezing in the queue . Before leaving Prague I have visited 5 places where authorized people were selling fish. Everybody were selling dead fish :- )!!! , so what’s the sense of buying dead fish, cleaning it at home, putting some salt and frosting it for 2 days? Come on friends, go to Cesco, ohh sorry to Tesco and buy how much fish you want whenever you want without freezing in the queue….or maybe you enjoy them .

In United States of Moldova everything is OK, a lot of snow and no queues in the shops, not because we don’t have money for presents, or we don’t like carp , it’s just we celebrate Christmas (Crăciunul ) on the 7th of January. Until then wish all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Living in Prague is like an American Dream, you can do whatever you want to do, whenever you want to do with whom you want. Prague is known worldwide for the quality of its beer, some visitors are surprised to discover that Prague also has a thriving a marijuana culture. Prague has the potion of happiness: no guns, lots of beer and lots of weed.

The year 2007 is almost leaving us, streets are full of snow, people really enjoy staying in queues for Christmas presents, Santa is on his way from Kyrgyzstan and also is time to complete together with the most active members of MD community in PRG the main financial statements. As it was expected everybody came without pencils, papers and scientific calculators and again we were in the situation of doing nothing just to analyze the benefits of the Lisbon agreement, tasting the Australian beer and some bloody Irish whisky. At least Axik as a loyal consumer of that brand received some gifts.

De ce ne-am întâlnit? Pentru a face cunoştinţă cu studenţii şi a se cunoaşte studenţii între ei (nota redacţiei: totuşi urmează data viitoare să ne cunoaştem mai bine), pentru că am discutat problemele existente şi posibilitatea Ambasadei de a se implica în rezolvarea lor, pentru ca nu am fost atât de mulţi acolo şi ar pe viitor alături de şeful nostru’ - Sergiu Leahomschi ar trebui să fim mai uniţi.

Some videos here then here, here and of course here.

Thanks to Iura we had the chance to try out the v.i.p. seats at Slavic/Slavonic Miss 2007 organized in Prague. There were some nice persons with long hair except those who in the below photos .

This weekend, September 15 and 16, Czechs remind one event that happened in 1620 on a hillside just outside Prague and that every Czech student has learned in detail, the Battle of White Mountain. This battle actually happened in November, but the tradition is to reconstruct it earlier, probably because it’s warmer now. The Battle of White Mountain was a battle where protestant Bohemian Estates’ army was defeated by catholic Hapsburg army. The aim of the reconstruction is to resemble the real event as much as possible. After all, this was more interesting than seeing a historical war movie in TV.

Whereas in the original battle, up to 50 thousands soldiers fought, this time, few hundreds of soldiers and dozens of horse riders and cannons were struggling, all in period costumes for an hour (the real battle last only 2 hours). All these was accompanied with a traditional market, musicians, dancers, performances and shows of live style and training of common soldiers, etc. It was even possible to try to wear armour, or practice shooting on a target. The event took place on a flat plain near Obora Hvezda.

Pražské metro (v divné pražštině Krtek) je několik děr do zeměkoule. V těchto dírách se pohybují takové rychlejší šaliny.

Pražské Metro má 4 linky, jejíchž trasa záleží na primátorovi:

Linka A jezdí z Depa Hostivař na LKPR přes Prahu 666. Vlaky normálního věku. O povodních 2002 nahrazena 23.
Stanice: Sklad vlaků zapalhosta / Sralka / Bububu / Želva / Fauna / Poděbradskýho Jirky / Náměstí války (konečná o povodních nebo po sebevraždě) / Muzeum - přestup na kovošrot / Můstek - přestup na zbrusunový vlak / Staré city square / Velkostranská / U hradu / Dej více.

Linka B Jezdí z Gottwaldova na Černý Most, každý druhý vlak jede Nové Butovice - Českomoravská, každý třetí Florenc - Smíchovské nádraží, každý osmý Zličín - Smíchovský nádraží, každý dvanáctý ve špičce pracovního dne o přestupním roce ve směru Florenc - Rajská Zahrada. Na předaleké okolí Prahy (Brno) jezdí málokdo (chátra, Moravané) a stojí to hodně vozokm. Oficiální důvod je potřeba přeplnit vlaky. Zbrusunové vlaky 71-81 se suprovým zabezpečovačem METPO-1961. Strojvedoucí nic nedělá. Úsek Smíchov - Karlín pokryt linkou 3, úsek Černý Most posílením autobusů. Více na X-B.

Linka C jezdí z Proseku až někam do háje. Až vás tam někdo pošle, doporučuji jet na konečnou. Jezdí na ní takové vlaky vypůjčené z muzea. O povodních nahrazena linkou X-C, která nejezdila(tvořena 6 jinými linkami)

Linka D je neznámá - prý z centra kamsi na Modřany nebo Barrandov.

Linka H vede z Běchovic do Dubče, značena je hnědou barvou. Je budována pod zemí; většina stanic je bohatě vyzdobena; mají někdy i tři výstupy. V provozu jsou až osmivozové soupravy. Má to však jeden háček; většině pražanů je na hovno.

4 days since I am trying to make an outgoing non documentary payment by Internet banking, but unsuccessfully. At the beginning I thought the problem is, that I don’t have a valid certificate for this website ib24.csob.cz. After installing it, the same problem “Server Error”. Next try was to turn off Kaspersky - same sh*t. Even Firefox didn’t help me. I have tried from 5 different computers, but the same thing.
