Mozna by se tam dalo aj neco vystavit, prodat, zhodnotit..Jinak Cechy krasne, Cechy me, zasnezena krajina se pekne vyjima, ale mnohdy by ji clovek rad vykazal do pohlednice.

Today we have the Christmas eve, but my second suitcase hasnt arrived yet, so symbolically I can still consider myself, or at least my belongings travelling.At least here in Czech Republic we celebrate today, and get the presents today, too. There is some snow outside, but not much, but the temperatures are quite low, and I have an imported cold. Its going to be rather small, just closest

After long and painful flight I have landed in Prague (not so my suitcase) and am here in my motherland again. I didnt have time to think about it muc h yet but I guess its going to be a bit weird till I get used to it again...

So this will be probably my very last entry written from Colombian land!I will miss this country. Everything ended up ok. Only I dontr understand how did I manage to get cold in this hot weather:) So I will import it to snow covered Czech Republic.And, Ive met here some Czechs, so we already have a small national enclave. How nice.BTW here we came with a very new Airbus with lots of fancy stuff

And so I am in Cartagena again...The bus from Medellin left me here 10:15 in the morning. Another hour to get downtown. Perhaps the last ride down avenida Pedro Heredia.Last night the bus dropped me off next to the best mall of Medellin, Mayorca, right in front of Crepes - I had to get my favorite icecream. Today I even get to stay at the house where Ive always stayed... everything as it used to

Today, 17th of December, Ive crossed the last border I ll have to cross till I cross the border to Czech Republic.I am in Colombia again, in two thirds of long and wearisome journey back up north. I shall arrive to Cartagena on saturday if everything goes fine...

Today, monday, I spend most of the day in Cuzco.I have again run into a guy I had first met in Copacabana, on a trip to Isla del Sol, then again at Machu Picchu, and finally today on Plaza de Armas... results we are taking the same bus to Lima tonight. He is a lawyer from Brussels, good contact! Dont mess with me anymore!!:DAnyways, its weird, one always meets people somehow related to him, like

And now, the only thing awaiting me is the way home.Yesterday, for being so tired, we stayed in Cuzco overnight. Today I have to find a bus to Lima / Tumbes. I fell much like the men of Ulysses: the batle was already fought, but there is still the long, long way home...

Yesterday, sunday the 13th of December we ascended this famous site.Maybe I didn't mention clearly, that as we took the hitch from Santa Maria, we mingled with this group, who had a guide, who also cut a deal for us. We paid 100 soles (cca USD 35) and got a room, dinner, breakfast, entrance to Machu Picchu site (discounted based on my ancient ISIC, even though first they thought it was false,

So night bus arrived to Cuzco at 5 but the driver left us crashing in till six. One of the girls wanted to get to Machu the same way I wanted to try - so we arranged to travel together.That way is the cheapest way, as far as I know, to get to Aquas Calientes, from where one can hike up to Machu. Its described in guidebook but not so well, but I had that confirmed a night before when I ate trout

Well well altitude really does stuff to you. Constant slight headache and one becomes really irritable:)Friday - I had to leave bybus at 10AM, but because of road blockade it was cancelled. So I rescheduled for a cheaper bus at 6:30, and spent the difference on food...I had an extra day in Copacabana really, thus. Lady in the travel service was very helpful, I spent like an hour there refixing my

They say you always forget the bad stuff. So this is to remembre.Country us nice. People almost only indians. Altitude is tough. La Paz is kind of cool.But Ive come to Titicaca, and its a paradise of tourist hassle!Yes, the place is nice. But having always to watch so that you aren't ripped off doesn't make it any better.Example: all the internet cafes at the main street have a fuckung cartel -

Well, all things come to an end... and so did my stay in Valparaiso. Quizas mejor así... I still have things to explore there. But, I've got my souvenirs, so the connection shall not perish.I am now in Santiago again... I've just had a "delicious" lunch - a hot dog - the most typical street snack here and one of the few affordables. They put avocado on it whioch is not appreciated, but I've asked

Todey we've started our day by a visit to flea market that culminates (to our luck) much later than in either EU or Australia. Iwas able to purchase one of the door knobs as a souvenir, to my great satisfaction.Then we had small lunch in one of the more local restaurants near the port called Milan. It evokes 3rd category Czech restaurant but the service is much better, there is different plate

Just an short report on friday evening.We visited informal concert in nearby escuela de bellas artes - music academy. Then we met a pianist there (Pedro) who played a short recital just for us. Nice.Then I went to the hostel, planning a little bit, figuring things out.After I met up with my roommates in Irish Pub downtown (at 11). The pub owner (Nigel) is an Irish IT guy who fell in love here

Yesterday Ive spent first half day working out my next plans and financial situation.Then I got lucky, because the sun appeared, and I went a long walk from our cerro to cerro Belavista, by avenida Alemania, making lots of pictures.Which brings me to other comparisons: Adolf Born could come paint here. Thats exactly his kind of houses.Early 20th century, eclectic historism, slightly overdecorated

Why is it such a slow day again?Well, its also not a very nice weather today. Kind of foggy. I also have to resolve my finance for next couple of weeks today - they have holiday till monday. And therefor I might need to leave sunday afternoon as later many people will be drunk etc.So I am slowly copying all my pictures... and reading newspaper... and maybe Ill just take the trolley busride.

So this day seems to be just bound to be slow. I decided to backup my photos, right away in the morning on first attempt I've found the size is already too much for my 2 empty CDs. Besides, just to copy them to the computers harddrive takes more then an hour. Then, burning just two CDs would be almost an hour again (I don't burn on highspeeds unless I really trust both the burner and the media -

I forgot to write that, but I think there must be some kind of magic, because sometimes it quite sucks, and the display wouldn't work, but so far ALWAYS whenthere really was something interesting for me the camera PUT ITSELF TOGETHERand worked nonstop! That apply for the train museum in Tacna and now for the first day in Valparaiso. As if things had soul...And I mean there is a conection. Ive

Actually, I have forgotten to write it in my last entry, so...How does Valparaiso appear to me? Well I have heard it being compared with Venice. And perhaps, there is something to it. A glorious port with glory already bit faded.But I'd like to make a different comparison. Its called "cultural capital of Chile"; the sea is preeminent; the houses are incredibly placed over steep hills, and the

So Ive just come back from my first walk.I have to say I was enchanted. And I have seen like an estimated fourth part of the area, that is supposed to be interesting! Afterall, I've visited just one of the cerros, and the downtown below in one direction from my hostel. Ultimatelly, it was the durability of my camera's batery that gave the no-go.Valparaiso keeps its promise to be one of the most

So I had seen the center of Santiago - it's pretty pretty - and bit bombastic... the governmental buildings I can easily imagine Pinochet marching there:) But nice, safe, huge, modern, lots of facilities, great shopping malls - in the old center, with small private shops, bit like Barcelona... one aisle full of shops with zippo's and smoker's apparel, for instance. Too bad they don't have those

So I got here according to the plan and I will continue to Valparaiso in the afternoon.Chile has quite an european vibe indeed. Euroamerican music everywhere. And Santiago does look like Austria... or Spain. Nice. I am now going to see downtown and the cannon make boom.

So I am in Arica... I took the train in the end... to be honest it wasnt so cool as the museum,but at least it was chaep and easy. I didnt have anyone to cross the border with,and I didnt feel like facing all the bargaining and hussle alone.But Arica had only one hostel I could find online, and that prooved to raise pricesconsiderably, so I am taking a bus to next city overnight instead, which is

Tacna saw us in the morning at around 10 AM.One good thing about Peru - lots of tourist facilities. So in this smalltown terminal there was a tourist info office (part of i-peru net - the smae Ive used in Lima). So I got map and all the info, left my bag in a storage room and went for a walk.My destination - besides the center - was a local Railway Museum. Well I bravely claimed I am a student

The bus ride from Lima involved some curious passages, especially in the night. I forgot to mention that I had again first floor seat in the first row, so view better then the busdrivers.Around midnight we were going through a sequence of sharp curves in the mountains, that readilly illustrated why Peru's roads are deemed dangerous. Two lanes, rock on one side, abyss on the other - much like the

Sunday was a bit hectic. After getting myself together in the morning, I had to call some bus companies to see when I could go to Tacna.I found one viable option but wasnt able to reach like a half of the carriers. So Ive decided to go to the terminals area and ask personally and evt bargain. Alas, everything is far in Lima, so at 1 PM I was still stuck with only one safe option, which was

Well so my first day in Lima was ended by a walk downtown - ints one hour far from the hostel on bus. The center is pretty and looks much like downtown Prague - lots of pedestrian rtraffic only areas, houses repaired.Lots of shops, fastfoods incl. KFC and Mc, cheap stores for clothes.I have walked there for some 2 hours, from plaza San Martin to plaza Mayor, then over stone bridge, up to a church

So, at the moment I write from my hostel in Miraflores, Lima.(I kind of follow footsteps of heroes of the book La ciudad y los perros (http://www.hacer.org/pdf/Vargasllosa04.pdf) and "the poet" was from Miraflores... its a good neighbourhood, so thats where I am. However, the hostel is only 5 USD / night, and they'd even let you sleep on a mtrace on the floor or on a couch for less (casa del

So, I finally reached Peru.Right now I am sitting in an internet place in Tumbes, quite a bizzare little place.Yesterday night, I spent last few moments watching quite an interesting movie, whose name I don't know, in the hostel, then I had to run to the bus station without knowing how it ends.I have to confess that I find it a great achievement when bus companies are concentrated in one big bus

Well well, its a good place here to observe some weird stuff.Obviously, South America was a big export for Japanese producers since many years. So there are some archaic Toyotas, Mazdas, Nissans to observe. Including VERY old Toyota LUV pickups = must be from 60s, as well as some Corrolas and Mazda 1300s. Also, Volkswagen had quitely developped some products here... there is something evolved

What a title!Wouldn`t you expect something like that from a person that spent 10 months in THAT part of South America?But actually it refers to a marketing policy that the (in)famous Coca Cola company has for South America... obviously the drink would not be accessible to many people with European pricing. So these smart guys came up with an idea - Coke in glass bottles should be hell cheaper.

I have decided to write in English for now, so that my international friends also can follow my experiences during travels...So yesterday in the afternoon I went walking down from Mariscakl Sucre to Old Quito. Have tio say that Old Quito has interesting atmosphere with a poetic of its own. Especially because the old center is situated on quite a hilly terrain.Quito has basically two seasons,

Anžto jsme se školou byli na místním tržišti v rámci kurzu Leer la ciudad, tak jsme se otrkali a šli jsme tam taky nakupovat. Už tam teď máme paní, co nás zná, kde jsme jedli. Takže jsem si koupil nové trenýrky, oni mi nejdřív prodali malé, ale pak mi je vyměnily - přece jenom jak oni jsou malí, tak mne prodavačka odhadla na M, a to jsem měl obepnuté jak metrosexuál, tak jsem si to nechal vyměnit

Díky německému kolegovi Benjaminovi jsem objevil prima restauraci, kam teď často chodíme na jídlo. Ono je to totiž v podstatě levnější než vařit doma, a bez práce. Navíc to vedou takoví sympatičtí lidé, a vaří dobře a mají tam spoustu obrazů a tak. Jídlo bratru za 5000 pesos, sestře za 6000.Navíc je to tady kousek. Je u toho polévka (v tomto případě netypicky chutná) a džus.

Ve středu večer cestou domů, zahybaje kolem rohu, zaslechl jsem zvuk, který připomínal sovětské budovatelské písně, a vycházel z nedalekého náměstíčka. Jako slovana mne to zaujalo a šel jsem se tam tedy podívat, abych se vzápětí ocitl na akci liberální strany. Znělka skutečně navozovala dojem, že bude mít přednášku vzkříšený Mičurin, avšak bližší ohledání ozřejmilo, že slova jsou ve Španělštině a

The Medellin Metro system is something both the city and its inhabitants are proud of. Even though it has no more than two lines, it is something not to be seen in South America too often. Here you can see the basic scheme of this infrastructure:(map photographed at the station - click to enlarge)Metro (i.e. metropolitan railway) does not suggest that its corridors are under the ground.

Zaminkou k navsteve (me jiz druhe) Medellinu ale byla mistni slavnost - Feria de las Flores. Tato kvetinova slavnost trva cely tyden., a ilustruje fakt ze Kolumbie neprodukuje jen koku, ale take kvetiny. De facto yejmena v okoli Medellinu jsou pro pestovani kvetin tak prihodne podminky, ze se Kolumbie stala pravou kvetinovou velmoci, ktera svou produkci predci Holandsko.Zlatym hrebem slavnosti je

Zjišťuji, že si stejně nejvíc rozumím s lidmi z Evropy či západu. Kolumbijci jsou fajn ale jen tak snadno člověk do hlubokých hovorů nezabředne... Zato stačí aby přijel Němec, Polák, Kanaďan a je to. Buď jsme si obecně tak podobní, anebo jsme si podobni ti, kteří se potkáváme v cizích krajinách.

I visited this local dominant today, I can recommend it. First, Ithought that it is only worth the view of Bogota, and I hesitated to pay the 14.000 for the round trip cable car ticket.But up there, there is a lot more to see than the view, first of all its definitely one of the most romantic places I have seen in general. It is a very nice landscaping composition, where at the top of the steep

Tak jsem konecne videl Medellin. A dnes jsem v Bogote. V Medellinu sedm dni, diky akci AIESEC. Moc pekne mesto. Bydleli jsme s ostatnimi trainees a meli program. Za rozkvet Medellinu je odpovedny posledni starosta, krery tu behem peti let vybudoval radu skol a knihoven predevsim v chudych ctvrtich a tak mesto socialne integroval.

This saturday we made a trip to the local public market, called BAZURTO. I basically joined another group led by a boyfriend of a Slovenian girl, who himself is Colombian and a navy officer by profession, which promised reasonable levels of security.Why security? Well, Bazurto is one of the places we have been warned about numerous times. We have been told not to go alone in any case. So, for

In the previous entry I have thought about the phenomena I called "Point Break" in language learning and the way it makes the difference between literacy and iliteracy when it comes to the use of languages.Now I would like to think more about the question of what is it that spuns the further development of language learning beyond the "Point Break".I have argued that for many people, the question

Well, I would be the last to expect myself to write a text like this. Nevertheless, my recent experience seems to support conviction that I hold for some time already when it comes to language learning.This conviction could ba characterize as belief, that once you reach a certain level of grip of a language that allows for its use, you start absorbing other knowledge rapidly and naturally.

These are thoughts of british economist E.F.Schumacher on education... "Hence the longing for education, that is to say, for something that will lead us out of the dark wood of our muddled ignorance into the light of understanding.I have said that a purely scientific education cannot do this for us becauseit deals only with ideas of know-how, whereas we need to understand whythings are as they

Jen tak krátce, při opětovné návštěvě lékárny (klimatizace kosí) jsem si povšiml něčeho zajímavého.Každý gramotný Čech, nežije-li v poustevně, musel zaznamenat již déle než rok se táhnoucí pranice stran poplatků u lékaře a v lékárnách. Co na to Kolumbie?Také zde se platí - u lékaře i u lékárníka (jde-li o lék na předpis) 2000 pesos, to je asi 20 korun. Jistě by ale leckdo namítl, že tuto zemi si

On saturday, 23rd May, we have visited famous local bar called "Leon de Baviera" (i.e. "Bavarian Lion", or "Der Bavarische Löwe"). This bar was founded and has since been run by a German (as the name suggests). It won a mention in lonely planet (http://www.lonelyplanet.com/colombia/caribbean-coast/cartagena/entertainment-nightlife/454745) and it has a facebook group.What may be surprising for a

This entry will recapitulate the trip to "Playa Blanca" this sunday (24th May). Playa Blanca is Cartagena´s most famous beach, which has won much recognition on the travelling-related websites and amongst the Cartageneros themselves.The trick is in that the beach is located not in Cartagena, but about one hours trip out of Cartagena (the time depends on guts of your driver:). But, being in this

I took my chance to get acquainted with the masters of the only Microbus in Cartagena built on technology of Mercedes-Benz, and by this also to gain further knowledge about the public tranportation in Cartagena.I can witness myself more and more sections of the so called "Transcaribe" construction being finished, which will soon exclude lead to acquisition of all the public transportation

Since I had recently had an opportunity to browse through two books that monitor the "old" architecture in Cartagena, I would like to share some discoveries."Old" architecture by and far refers to two distinct groups of building, known here as the "colonial" and the "republican" architecture. Both types were - as the names suggest - implemented in neather or further past, in the correspondingly

Although technically the teachers day in Colombia falls to friday 15th May in the calendar, on our university it was celebrated yesterday, 19th May. That is to say yesterday.Although I had to be downtown from 2pm to 4pm to finish the class "Leer la vida", I decided to come back to the UTB to see that, this probably being my once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Dnes jsme měli událost, zvanou 'Global village', na níž jsem připravoval určitou prezentaci České Republiky. Nečekal jsem to, ale docela mne to chytlo. Rozhodně pak můžu říct, že se těším na svou povinnost po návratu v rámci ČR naopak reprezentovat Kolumbii.Nicméně, co se tedy událo. V rámci příprav jsme měli přinést nějaké předměty z vlasti, materiály, prezentace a pochutiny. Z domova jsem si

Výše (změna vztahu k sobě) jsem již psal, co s člověkem pobyt v cizí zemi dělá... Nyní se pokusím o obecnou glosu na téma co je to býti někde cizincem.Staré přísloví praví 'doma není nikdo prorokem' - a jak jsem již psal výše, okolí, které si nás setrvačně pamatuje coby malé usmrkance, jen těžko akceptuje náhlý vznik jakéhosi vhledu či snad dokonce vize. Což je asi jev celkem logický. Řada kultur

Také vystřízlivělý pozorovatel začíná vztah k novému místu ve světě prožívat jinak. Jako obyčejně člověk v takové situaci, kdy je vykořeněn ze svého 'osvětí' (které mu 'doma' říká až vtiskuje, kým je) automaticky obrací ke své vlastnější podstatě, která tím, jak není zřetelná v materialitě bezprostředního okolí, nabývá duchovnější a tedy silnější ráz. To tvrdím celkem směle, jelikož se mi to

Jelikož jsem slyšel, že nic nepíšu, tudíž někdo blog i čte, chytám se za nos a píšu.Existuje vlastně rozepsaný post, který jsem nikdy nepublikoval, kde jsem se zamýšlel nad tím, jak po určité době nutkavá potřeba svdělovat příval nových prožitků poleví (spolu s tím jak si člověk zvyká na nové prostředí) a že člověk opět více 'začíná žít' jako skutečná osoba a ne jen jako turista.Mohu říci, že se

Zde naleznete fotografie z návštěvy zajímavého přírodního úkazu - bahenního vulkánu. Zejména zajímavá je na tomto zážitku zkušennost gravitace. Vulkán je totiž asi 80metrů hluboký, tudíž nikde nenahmatáme dno. Bahno je ale husté, a tak "nese". Je to tedy jakási beztíže, a vskutku jako kosmonaut se člověk také při prudším pohybu může všelijak přetočit:) Pohyb je proto obtížný, nakonec se mi

Už jsem sesbíral několik fotek všelijakých zvířatek, s nimiž se tu setkávám. (šváby pro tentokrát vynecháme). Pejsky a kočičky nefotím, protože bych pak už nedělal nic jiného:) Je ale třeba podotknout že je jich tu mnoho, jak divokých tak domácích. Zejména pozoruhodná je jejich flegmatická povaha (vliv počasí), jelikož tito jednotlivci zcela bezstarostně tvrdě spí kdekoli a kdykoli, zřejmě bez

Tak už se mi nahromadilo sdostatek fotografií, aby se dalo napsat něco málo o tom, co si tu asi tak můžeme dát k jídlu. Jelikož z nás plat nečiní zrovna vymetače restaurací, spíše tu najdeme některé hojněji zastoupené druhy rychlého občerstvení. A navíc, místní, oblíbená a velmi delikátní smažená ryba! Ryba je jednoduše smažená v oleji a posolená - opravdová delikatesa. Důležité je zřejmě rybJako

Na obrázku vidíte udělátko, které pěkně dokumentuje místní vynalézavost a míru regulace. Jedná se o adaptérek, který se namontuje jednoduše do závitu pro běžnou domácí žárovku. Udělátko je fikané: na jeho konec pak žárovku zase vrátíme (jedná se o takový mezikus) ovšem zároveň získáme dvě zásuvkové zdířky (severoamerický typ bez uzemnění). Tím to ale nekončí.

Inu, nechtěl jsem to psát nevěda jak se věci vyvinou, nicméně můj fotoaparát prožil těžké časy - ztrátu obalu (kožený sakl od sluchátek Koss porta pro) promptně následovalo vytrousení foťáku z klína na šutr při výstupu z taxíku. Po tomto výsadku foťák (Panasonic Lumix DMC FS3) ztratil schopnost ostřit a tudíž i fotit. Místo focení se dožadoval vypnutí.Nicméně kromě úderu na bok se mu nic nestalo,

Uz driv jsem psal, ze i tady, v Kolumbii, muzeme aplikovat Komarkovo pozorovani, ze zeme druheho ci tretiho sveta v mnohem pripominaji prvni svet, ale v ranejsim vyvojovem stadiu.V Kolumbii je to tedy v mnohem jako v Evrope pred takovymi sto lety. Uz jsem psal o tom, jak je zde mene pravidel a remeslech a podnikanich ktera uz u nas zmizela (najemni muzikanti, poulicni sevci a cistici bot,

Osvojování jazyka probíhá pomaleji, než bych si přál. Používám různé strategie: poslouchám španělštinu Michela Thomase, mám jakousi učebnici a také tu a tam čtu bilingvní palubní časopis Ibérie. Tento má tu výhodu, že vedle sebe najdeme tytéž články ve Španělštině a v Angličtině.Právě tady jsem narazil na zajímavý jev, o který se chci podělit. Jde totiž o to, že některé španělské výrazy dávají

Včera večer v jednom místním café jsem nějak prvně přišel na chuť tomuto. Jedná se o styl "Salsa brava" což je starší a klasičtější odrůda než "salsa romantica". Tady toto je jeden z největších hitů jednoho z nejslavnějších interpretů tohoto stylu, Hectora Lavoe: "El cantante".Následující ukázka je další znmou skladbou téhož interpreta: "Periodico de ayer". Zpívá tam asi toto: tvoje láska je jako

Minuly tyden probehl klidne a v poradku... Ve skole se pomalu chysta novy "midterm". K pozoruhodnym udalostem patri proces zmen, ktery začal šéf jazykového centra.

Mnozí ji bohužel vnímají jen jako povinnost
