If you are planning a trip to Czech or just have not been back for a while and would you like to reminisce in your living-room this is a good site for you. Virtual Czech (click here) allows you to travel virtually all over this beautiful country! This way you can decide which Czech town/city is prettier to sight-see (a very hard task) or you can just visit the places where you grew up – everything over the Internet (crazy, huh?).

We don’t really think about it as much anymore but it is mind-boggling how much the American culture influcenced the whole world, including the Czech Republic. Most of the the American ‘novelties’ cought up very quickly (the good ones and the bad ones) but some did not. 
I have been living in the US for about 10 years now and I know that I have got (unfortunately?) an accent in BOTH languages. For those of you who are in the same boat as me, do you ever wonder how much of an accent do you have? Can you hear yourself that well so that you can tell? On a scale 1 to 10 ( 1 = the least amount of accent), are you like a ’2′ when it comes to Czech and like a ’5′ when it comes to English?

While the world-known American Academy Awards are by far over with, the Czech-style ‘Oscars’ have found their new owners just couple of days ago. The Cesky Lev 2008 movie awards are not as flashy and crowded as the American ones but that does not mean that they don’t award good movies. The best movie for 2008 became The Karamazovs, a film adapted from a well-known roman by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Movie was directed by a talented director Petr Zelenka, who was also involved with other successful movies such as Samotari (Loners) and Knoflikari (Buttoners). Zelenka also received the Best Director of the Year award for this movie. 
Hi Everyone/ Ahoj vsichni,
Have you seen the movie Wanted yet? Well, you should! Never mind if it has some big stars like Angelina Jolie, Morgan Freeman or Hugh Jackman - the most important thing is that it came to life practically because of this one talented Czech guy! Petr Forejt not only did all of the sound mixing for the movie but he was also nominated for the ‘Best Sound Mixing’ at this year’s Academy Awards!!! Although the movie did not get the Oscar at the end, the nomination is just an enormous success for Petr. He also did not expect it at all: “I got a phone call from a Czech journalist and I asked him why they were calling me and they said ‘you were nominated, what can you tell us’?“, says Petr. 
Do you keep coming across these Czech and Slovak organizations but have no clue what they do or what are they like? Well, I am officially creating
The big news is that Barack Obama is coming to the Czech Republic soon! He and his wife are going to spend couple of days in Prague starting April 4th where they pay a visit not only to the current president Vaclav Klaus but they are also planning on having a lunch with the former president of CR, Vaclav Havel.
