news google imageSo I thought I would brag a little and let you guys know that the krajane.net website made an interview with me, featuring this website (Click here). They call me the “first Czech-American blogger” - makes me feel kind of important ;)

Unfortunately it is in Czech so here is the translation in a nutshell:

1/ Where do you come from? How did you get to the US?

– ( all found in the CMD “about” page )

2/What do you like about America? What do you dislike?

– like: people in general are nicer and more positive. Lot of people go to church here and that gives them more peace, hope and happiness. I myself have become a “church goer” and I am so much happier than ever before.

– dislike: the fact that you have to drive everywhere; the “strip mall” architecture

3/ Do you miss CR? What do you miss the most? How often do you go back?

– yes I miss it but now that I have my own family here the “homesickness” got much better; I miss the nature: the woods, the fields and the mountains.

– trying to go back every year or so

4/ What lead you to blogging?

— desperation; for years and years I have been trying to find similar website to stay connected with my Czech roots. As I was unsuccessful with my search I decided to create it myself.

Last three questions ask about the blog in particular: what is CMD about, who is it for, how often do I write, do I write in Czech as well?

– you all know the answers! ;)

If you liked this post buy me a coffee! (Suggested:$3 a latte $8 for a pound) Thanks!

Congratulations,Tanja! :) I’m so glad that you created this website! It is very informative and I like that you translate in both Czech and English! I enjoy reading and learning as much as I can about the Czech culture esp. since my significant other is Czech!
