Long time I haven't posted anything here... I know. Actually I'm a bit busy and, be honest, who reads?
Well, someone reads. From time to time. So I've decided to post another little post. And it will be about nobody else but Czechs again. I saw my previous posts and ... eh, I didn't feel well so much. Long time I've been hard critic. Of Czechs. Of everything. But especially if it's czech. No, I haven't changed my mind, my attitude. Yes, it is an attitude already. I still see the problems, faults and failures in way of our lifes here. But I've also learned I shan't be too critical in public. Thou, who'd like to read such a critical negative posts? Honestly I'd not.
So, afterwards, I comment happenings in my life; little daily things and similar. Tricky is that word: to comment. When translating Czech to English, English to Czech I still can't find exact words for my thoughts. All the words are too similar, too close to each other that really it's hard to choose the best one and only. I've been always getting dissatisfied by critical valuation of my word I've chosen. Like in real I hear it again; 'this is not the best expression'. But why? For me it is. Probably. If I chose it. Then it must.
Seems I'd better finish up; leave this meditation. Because it's late I'm getting tired, the brain almost stopped working.
So, my dear friends, thank you for reading me and enjoy whatever you are to do now.

Although time is to be filled with thoughtful work meant writing gradation thesis, I decided differently. Just a few days ago we were connected, I mean our household, to an Internet. ADSL connection is great thing but killing simultaneously; killing valuable time and personal willing to bother by something else. I sit by computer many hours every day since connecting. And what's worse I am conscious of wasting my time which I have so less usually. So why do I keep doing? "I don't know" I'd like to say but honesty order not to lie this. Reasons are few; being lazy is the main one I think. And I am too weak, maybe I just want to feel weak, to fight it over; and start doing something more. First step can be stopped writing this and leave computer, huh? Yeah, I will do this. But after leaving my dear laptop, I will go to the kitchen to fill up my poor stomach. And I feel great by all sides of view. Eating is not as wasting of time. I heart uncountable times that "head cannot think when stomach's empty". Unfortunately Czech version of this saying is more charming, but I can't to share it with you. Because of English. I have nothing against this language generally. I'm using it a lot. I like it. But some times I see the disadvantage of it. Problems caused by simplicity of this overspread language. Languages which I speak by or try to speak are more difficult and English is nothing in comparison with them. Then it makes me sad while I can't to share something great just because my biggest knowledge of language belongs to English or while English is the only way how to communicate.

Reasonable marriage? One of our journalists - Anneke Hudalla, wrote a commentary for Respect n.3 where she called fair between Prague and Vienna reasonable marriage. She meant marriage with no passion, no big love, just it had to. And I agree with her strongly. But I have question: Why? Why is still something bad in a communication and behaviour between these two countries? Can't we do it better? Do we really not know? I'm pretty sure we can, but somebody (I really don't know who) doesn't want to. And I'm wondering who this somebody is and what the reason is.
Anneke by the way asks this: Why nobody is writing directive about transit of camions? Why nobody is interested that Prague and Vienna could be sending one commissar to European commission since 2014? And why nobody bother mutual task about climate protecting?
Do YOU know answers??

Tak Silvestr je za mnou/nami. Jsem v Eskisehiru, za okny se to tvari jakoze snezi, ale oproti snehu v ceske kotline se jedna o slaby "popilek". Vylet nedopadl nejhure ale take nebyl buhvico. Jelo nas na dva autobusy. My jsme tvorili vetsi partu citajici tak deset lidi, z toho ale nekteri vydali i za vice nez jednoho .
Zima nebyla, spise velike teplotni vykyvy. Pres den jsme byli v trickach a nekteri se dokonce brouzdali v mori, ale vecer se rapidne ochladilo a vyjit bez svetru a kabatu si nikdo netroufl. Asi nejvice se mi z vyletu libilo misto s ohni. Takova skala ukryta v porostu (les se tomu neodvazuji rikat, ale mistni to tak nazyvaji), kde se misty plyn dere ven a hori vecnym ohnem. Byli jsme zde vecer za tmy, coz cinilo misto opravdu puvabnym. Sedeli jsme kolem ohnu, pili vino pivo, zpivali, fotili a obdivovali se hvezdne obloze, ktera byla celicka plna hvezd. To v Praze neuvidite.
Bohuzel toho uz vice nenapisu, musim zase jit, ale zkusim zase napsat, tentokrat neco vic.

Tak jsem tu zase... V Eskisehiru. Vcera jsme prijeli z Istanbulu. To byla cesta! Tak nejak se zapomnelo odbocit a zajeli jsme si po dalnici 70 kilometru dal, coz znamenalo temer az do Ankary. Takze se zplatilo mytne, za branou jsme se otocili a frceli nazpet. Navic nas v aute bylo sest jo, vtipna cesta. Nakonec jsme kousek od Eskisehiru dokonce jeste predjeli Bulhary, ktere jsme potkali v Burger Kingu za Istanbulem. Radeji si netroufam pocitat, kolik hodin uplynulo, nez jsme se dostali do cile od chvile, kdy jsme opustili byt v ?stanbulu. Jinak v letadle to bylo uuuuzasneee. Pekne se tam o me starali, dostala jsem bajecne papu, vinecko. No basta. Ale... z letadla jsem vychazela jako treti. Jenze ouha, kousek pred passport control (pomerne kus cesty od gatu), jsem si vsimla, ze mi chybi pas s letenkou. Takze celem vzad jsem nabrala smer letadlo. Musela jsem pockat, az se vsichni vylodi a pak jsem si mohla dojit pro pas i letenku, kteri lezeli na zemi, kam spadli se sedadla pri pristani... kdyz jsem se blizila opet k passport control, cestou jsme se promichali my, co jsme prileteli z Prahy s cestujicimi z dalsich dvou letadel. Dokazete si jiste predstavit tu frontu, ktera nastala. A to jsem jeste mela stesti. K okenku jsem se dostala po 20-30 minutach, kde me, jako mnoho mnoho dalsich, chtel urednicek poslat nejdrive k okenku pro vizum. Tak jsem mu vysvetlovala, ze ho nepotrebuji. On totiz chudak videl vizum, ktere jsem dostala, kdyz jsem do turecka jela na erasmus a myslel, ze ho potrebuji i ted. Nevim, co mi pomohlo, jestli par slov v turectine, kterymi jsem ho pocastovala anebo jsem se mu libila anebo me chtel mit jednoduse z krku. Tak ci tak nakonec sklopil oci, nalistoval stranku, kam bouchl stempl a ja mu dala sbohem.

Jenze na tabuli uz nebyl nas let napsany, takze jsem nevedela, na kterem pasu mam tasku. Celou halou jsem se prosla tak ctyrikrat. A zacala byt nastvana. Az na me zavolal jeden zamestnanec a pomohl mi. Musim se pochlubit, ze jsem s nim mluvila pouze turecky . Ten me poslal k pasum, kde by ma taska mela byt. Byla. hura. Hodila jsem si bagl na zada a sla jeste do duty free shopu pro c?garety, o ktere me kluci poprosili. Tam se se mnou dal do reci turek prede mnou, co kupoval ledove cokolady. taky turecky. Vysvetloval mi, po pocatecnim zjistovani, jestli jsem turkyne nebo odkud, cenove rozdily cigaret na letisti a mimo. Proto jsem je tam ale kupovala, ne? Salak yaa.

To bylo posledni, co jsem potrebovala a uz jsem s ulevou zamirila ven. Mimochodem jsem zapomnela poznamenat, jaka panovala na letisti teplota. Uz v letadle jsem se zdesila, kdyz kapca oznamoval, ze je v Istanbulu 10 stupnu...

Takze jsem venku chodila v tricku a kabate. Tady v Eskisehiru uz je sice chladneji, ale dziny, tricko, lehjky svetrik a kabat staci. Jsem zvedava, jak bude v Olymposu. Ted uz ale musim koncit, jdeme se nekam najist.

To be or not to be?
...
hard-working

yeah, I think its time to start work Next monday I have to give exact syllabus of my bachelor work. Hmm, I started just now. Also I should at last open book of english cause of exam. Hmm, I didnt even find out if I have this book... Usually I have no problem with studying but when sun is burning outside and you know its holiday its hard to perceive myself to sit down and study. I wish to be with my horse, crossing fields and racing with wind (if there is any). Or be with my friends at pool having fun. I think I wont stand easily years immediately following after graduation. I mean working. at work. Job. No hols. Horrible to think about this now.
Just one to say to finish; you are great, all of you who has to work when others doesnt have to.

In present we have so many technology advantages in communication abroad. But is it really advantage?
Not always.
Take as an example relationship. Two people want to be together but, because of any reasons, they cant. In modern time, they think, its not problem. We have cell phones, internet, MSN, Skype...we can be in touch everyday. We can even see each other. Hear.
But is it all? Will it work? U will feel closer to your love but u ll not be. its just an imagine, feeling, state of mind. But then u ll relize that distance hasnt got shorter and u become sader then before. U ll want to feel or smell your partner. "I can see ´him/her, I can talk to him/her I can write, why I cant feel?" That's problem. Something is missing.
So isnt better to stay more distanced? To miss more senses? Just keep writing for example?

In past, couples had just letters. Often they were waiting looong time till they received one. So they had just writing and memories. it was more romantic. I know, they missed each other a lot. Too much. But there was no possiblity of arguing for example. Arguing about nonsense.
Because everybody is sometimes using ironic, or is joking, but it can be recognized just when u see his/her face and hear words. To make them together. Cause when they are together, u undrstand joke. Yeah, it's just a joke. Problem approaches when one attribute is missing. Words. Im speaking about words. Sometimes they are annoying or hurting. Because we understand them differently than they were ment. This is problem. Cause nowadays by present medias.
This is just my opinion.
I think we can manage it. Its something new for us. We must firstly learn ho to manage with it. Maybe in twenty years there will be no problem like im writing about .

The British office "Future Systems" will build the Czech National Library in Prague

In May 2006, an international project competition in two stages was launched for the design of the new national Library of the Czech Republic in Prague. Located in the Letna quarter, this building of 50 000 m2 will house the collections of the modern period as well as the national library services. The competition was launched with the support of the UIA.
