OK, so my computer will be ready for pick up tomorrow which means that I should be able to write a little more. My mom is here for a visit and both of my kids are sick so I can’t say I am not busy because I am SOOO busy. However, I want to write a short note about the Czech New Year. [click to continue…]

It’s hard to believe that Christmas is just around the corner…AGAIN! I was listing through my old Christmas posts to see which one is worthy of re-posting. Although I was searching through them for a long time I found myself unable to decide which one is the winner. Therefore I am posting the whole link to anything about Czech/Slovak Christmas on this blog. Click on it and see what catches your eye: is it the recipes? My personal experiences with Christmas? Czech Christmas music (YouTube/free links)? Take your pick:
CZ: Vanoce jsou OPET za rohem, tak jsem si rikala, ze by bylo dobre re-postovat nejaky vanocni clanek z minula, ktery mel hodne ohlasu. Takovych clanku jsem ale nasla par, a jelikoz jsem se nemohla rozhodnout, ktery z nich re-postovat, tak vam tu nechavam cely link na cokoliv vanocniho, o cem jsem kdy v minulosti psala.

Remember those wooden toys we used to play with in the Czech Republic? The were awesome! My friend is now selling them in the US at Toysunplugged.com, so if you want your little one to have such a toy under the Christmas tree order one right here (click here). They are very reasonably priced, even for someone like myself who is quite the frugal type;). I was thinking getting my daughter that famous stork that you hang on a tree and when the wind blows or when the kids pull on the string it moves its wings. That is truly my all-time favorite wooden toy. [click to continue…]

A typical Czech school lunch
Sarka is a Czech patriot who contributed t0 a blog called What’s For Lunch? by sending in a couple of photos of a typical Czech school lunch. The creator of this blog had the greatest idea of comparing pictures of school lunches from all over the world and Sarka filled in the spot for the Czech Republic.
You can see that the cute boy is about to munch on a vegetable soup, pork meat with potatoes and vegetables, and kobliha (doughnut) as a dessert. Not bad.

Here is a really nice blog about the Prague architecture (click here). What I like the most about it is that the blog is dominated by big pictures rather than by dry lecture notes.
CZ: Pokud vas zajima prazska architektura, tento blog je pro vas jak usity. Je dominovan spise fotkami nez ucebnicovym textem a to se mi na nem libi nejvic. Proste se nudit nebudete. A jestlize jste z Prahy, tak na nem mozna najdete i foto z vasi ulice!

Czech Christmas carols, Czech folk music and Czech lullabies are always in a high demand and that’s why they are available again on Czechmate Diary. This year the selection is a bit different from the last year’s selection, so nobody can complain of boredom

Don’t tell me the pictures I have recently taken all around me don’t prove the under-title of this blog: “Small Bohemian Steps to World Domination”
CZ: Nerikejte mi, ze tyto fotky nejsou dukazem podtitulu tohoto blogu: “Small Bohemian Steps to World Domination” :)
1. The word “VODA” means “WATER” in Czech.
2. The word “Ahoy” is pretty much a misspelled Czech word “Ahoj” which means “HI”. And the same thing goes for the word “Matey”! Substitute ‘y’ for ‘j’ and you will get a Czech name “Matej”. Am I missing some Czech cartoon that’s going around and the main hero Matej is being printed on American t-shirts?!
