Vaclav Havel like you have never seen him before! /Takoveho Havla jste jeste nevideli!

I came across these cool photos of Vaclav Havel – the former Czech president. It kind of gives an overview of his fruitful life, ever since he was just a ‘nobody’ until his post-president era when he had a chance to meet with Mr. Obama (or rather, Obama had a chance to meet with Havel??) Take a look (click here)!
CZ: Ani nevim, co jsem na internete hledala, ale skoncila jsem na strankach Oldricha Skaly – znameho fotografa, zachycujiciho zivot Vaclava Havla. Fotky nam priblizuji Vaska jiz od utleho mladi, kdyz byl jeste ‘obycejny’ chlapek, az po dobu, kdy si ho pozval na obed samotny Obama (nebo Obama pozval na obed samotneho Havla??).
Fotky muzete shlednout zde (klinete zde).

How did Czechs and Slovaks in 1950′s see the “crazy” year of 2000? / Co ocekavali Cesi a Slovaci v 50. letech od roku 2000?

cosmic future google imageMy linguistic buddy Jamie forwarded me this awesome YouTube video the other day (thank you Jamie!) which you just have to watch; it is a REAL documentary about what Czechs and Slovaks  in 1957 expected in the “cosmic” year of 2000 to look like. When I watched it for the first time, I could not believe it was real! But it is real!!!
PS: the movie has English subtitles :0)

CZ: Muj linguisticky kamos Jamie mi nedavno doporucil YouTube video, na ktere se proste musite podivat.

Je to fakt sranda – tedy to, ze to ti zpravodajove mysli vazne :0) [click to continue…]
