‘Emigration is terribly hard, one does not realize that it is forever’ / Emigrace je hrozne tezka; clovek si neuvedomi, ze je to navzdy’

One of my friends told me about this Czech TV program called ‘Ctyri v New Yorku’ (Four in New York), which is a heart-felt documentary about 4 Czech women who have immigrated to the USA later in their life and how hard it was for them to get adjusted to a completely different way of life.

I have had a chance to watch only the first 2 women (both are involved in art) and both films are phenomenal. You won’t be able to stop watching it! The only downside is that the movies load really slow so there are long breaks where you just wait for the movie to start playing again

The movies are in Czech – sorry! BUT I did translate some of the sentences which resonated with me:

CZ: Jedna ma kamaradka mi doporucila VYBORNY dokument ceske televize, zvany Ctyri v New Yorku. Urcite se na nej podivejte a pripravte se, ze to s vami citove zamava.

First lady: MONIKA ABBOTT…..(emigrated to the USA at the age of 38)

‘I have to be connected with the Czech Republic, I cannot live without it. Only abroad I realized that I was (a true) Czech.’ [click to continue…]

LOL: Czech patients are treating themselves! / “Vylecte se sama, pani!”

Today I am bringing you something on the lighter note. The following video makes fun of the state of the Czech health care. It is in Czech so I apologize to those who do not understand the language. In short, the Czech health care is going through some troubling times and a comedian, Zdenek Izer, is making fun of it. The patient in the video comes to the doctor’s office but ends up basically treating herself. [click to continue…]

Czech Idol beams with talent this year! /Cesky idol zari tento rok talentem!

The Czech Daily Word wrote yesterday about the famous singing competition – the Czech Idol (Czechs call it Superstar). This time the producers decided to put Slovak and Czech competitors together so there is a lot of talent. And as Peter Boruvka remarked, they are all very good looking! What made my brain hurt (since I am not used to it) is when I was watching the black guy singing in Czech! How amazing that the Czech Republic has become so multicultural!

CZ: Czech Daily Word se vcera zabyval svetoznamou peveckou soutezi Idol, ktera je uz take v Cechach a na Slovensku. Tento rok se producenti show rozhodli dat ceske a slovenske zpevaky dohromady, takze to bude tezka bitva – talentu je tam tento rok hodne. Co me mile prekvapilo je, ze jeden ze soutezicich je velmi vzhledny cernoch a Cech! Takze mluvi a zpiva perfektne cesky (coz je samozrejme, protoze v Cechach asi vyrostl)! [click to continue…]

Forget YouTube – go on Stream.cz! /Zapomente na YouTube – naladte se na Stream.cz!

I may be just totally embarrassing myself here but I just recently found a Czech-style ‘YouTube’! The website is called Stream.cz and it shows anything from news, TV shows and celebrity lifestyle to music, sport and children shows…and the picture is clear! No more inferior YouTube videos that kill your eyesight!

CZ: Mozna, ze se touhle zpravou prozradim a vy zjistite, ze jsem ve skutecnosti sto let za opicema. Ja jsem totiz nedavno narazila na webovku zvanou Stream.cz, kde se muzete divat na cokoliv ceskeho (serialy, sport, detske pohadky, hudbu….) a to zdarma. Nejen ze to, ale kvalita kazdeho videa je naprosto vyborna! Sbohem YouTuuubbeeeee!!!!!!

Surgeons = Grey’s anatomy?? / Chirurgove = Gray’s anatomy??

google Gray's anatomy image Whenever Jamie writes me an e-mail, the content is so good that I just have to post it (of course, with Jamie’s consent)! What a fun topic!

CZ: Pokazde, kdyz mi Jamie posle e-mail, stoji to za to. Jeho obsah je vzdycky tak zajimavy, ze se s vami o nej proste musim podelit (samozrejme ze se souhlasem Jamieho).

Hey, Tanja!

If you want some fun, go to the TV Prima website, look at the “Zahranicni serialy” (Foreign TV shows) and try to figure out why some titles are translated, and why some aren’t. And why some of them are translated the way they are. I did this last night, and here is what I wrote to a friend about it: [click to continue…]
