Czechmate diary is in the news! / Czechmate diary je v “novinach”

So 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! 😉
