The post about Praha or how the Queen of Central Europe looks!


This weekend was really the super time!
Me and my girlfriend were to Praha!
From the very first minutes of our being there it impressed me much!
The beautiful buildings and “the smell” of history were everywhere!
I have visited lots of big and beautiful cities: Belgrade, Budapest, Bratislava, Skopje, Kiev, Moscow, but Praha seems to be one of the most beautiful!


The whole center of the city, every building has its history! There are really lots of tourists, seems to be there are no Czechs, just tourists, for one day I think I have heard more than 30 different languages! The winners in quantity I think are Japanese! If you see the huge camera be for 70% sure that this guy is from Japan)
I was in Praha for 2 days.


First day we visited the left side of this city – Praha Hrad, Carlov Most(Charles bridge) ,Watch Tower, different cathedrals and squares! The usefull tip! Take with you some food beforehand (many tourists do like this in order not to waste time and money for breaks) The most common thing to take is something similar to sandwich (called Baget). In the end of the day we enjoyed national food in the Pub and beer and then watched the Night Praha! In the night this city is even more beautiful!
The big amount of photos are available on my photopage :

We spend the night in the students hostel not far from the centre. The average prices for the hostels are 300 Czech crowns (about 15 USD or 11 Euro).
The second day was not less impressive! We visited the Old and the New parts of Praha, starting from the National Museum, Waclavska Square, really tiny and full of shops streets, the bank of the river – beautiful scenery (by the way I was excited seeing in this river lots of really big fishes just swimming and jumping out of the water), then we have gone through new part of Praha, seen the biggest Czech Theatre ( Narodni Divaldo). Praha is also the Green city - lots of gardens with fountains, where you can sit on the bench, enjoy the day, drink beer, whatever.
Being very tired we returned back to Ostrava on the Sunday’s evening!
Really recommend everyone at least one time in your life, but to visit Praha! It worth of it!

Now I am back to work, Monday, waiting what will the next weekend bring to me…
Still lots of plans, lots of places to visit are waiting for us....

Jazz Rocks!


AHOI!

Every weekend we are trying to travel! every weekend there is something new!
this weekend is not the exception!

so yesterday we have visited the jazz-festival in Fridek-Mystek!!
this event takes place every year!
want to say that i've never heard the natural real -jazz! these are amasing sounds.
the festival gathers lots of people! everyone has something particular in himself.
you uderstand that all that people are really very different, but there is something that gathers them together: Jazz!
the same thing we can say about AIESEC. Just think: 95 countries worldwide, more than 20000 of people, different cultures, nations, continents, but when they are on the big conference (IC, IPM, whatever, they are all speaking one language and there is no misunderstanding, there is tolerance and cultural sensitivity and nice atmosphere!
back to JAzz!
this music makes you relax and if you feel the lack of self-reflection and meta-cognotion ability - just turn on the Jazz music and it will be easier.

Today is Sunday, the Czech republic suffers from rain today! but thanks god the temperature is really comfortable in this places + 22( f0r comparison in the south of Ukraine, where am i from, it is more than 30)
But anyway i understand that weekends is not the time to spend at home and we will definitely visit something soon)
I think that any intern comes to the meening that the more you travell - the better it is)

As sof me i travell really a lot)

every week i have a business-trip! this week i was in the westen Czechs - Carlovy Vari and Pilsen, next week i am proposed to go to the North and Middle Czechs (Prague and up to the north).

Travelling sometimes may be exausting, but the impressions you get from it is really worth of it)

to cut the long story short just want to say: visit my foto-blog at: http://vkontakte.ru/profile.php?id=1075786


Chao!

after a week of abscence





Hello)

a week ago my blog was last updated)

since that time lots of things have changed and i have even more news, impressions and information!

First of all - not more than 1 day after we returned from slovakia, i was sent to the business-trip from company for 3 days threw the Czech Republic!

Well! Through one day i managed to be in 10 cities and 3 days in the same rhythm!It was the south part of Czech Republic, almost on the border of Austria!

Wanna say, that there are a lot of lakes and the architecture is also a bit another!
New people, new information, new working experience, developing my negotiation skills (in czech language!!!), working with company clients, beautifull nature, tast of national foods and lots of other thing that i've got from this business-trip!

It were 3 days without any English or Ukrainian word! i've spoken only German(thanks God my companion new it) and tried to speak also in Czech! Want to say that from day to day my Czech in getting better and better , so i've got the next conclusion: in order to be successfull or to reach something positive in your internsip, you have to learn the language of the country you are going to, at least a bit)

so, fotos from the trip are already available here: http://vkontakte.ru/profile.php?id=1075786


Only having arrived from business-trip, the same evening i have visited the AIESEC welcome -party for us(ukrainians) and a brasililan guy! We have eaten our national food and also tasted lots of brasilian things! there is also a video on my page (see above)!

In one word - the welcome party was really successfull! concluson : AIESEC in Ostrava has a strong AIESEC for interns culture and they are doing all the best for us to feel comfortable!!!

But! this is also not alll!!!!!!

On this Saturday(4th of August) i have visited the National Holiday (party) in the city where i work!

it was the 60 th anniversary of that party.So there was really funny! lots of people, national music, dances, food(a lot of), drink (even more), lots of cultural pecularities and just a good time spend is the conclusion of this party! Medulina - the name of alcohol, like the ukrainan Vodka it has 40 degrees and more(depends on the village, where it is produced), but, you drink it like a vine, nothing hard and hot, it is very sweet!


there are also some pictures on http://vkontakte.ru/profile.php?id=1075786 and even video from the chill-out part of the party on the same site!

what to say, i have a very dinamic life here, everyday there is something new, something interesting, we dont stay on the same place, this is what the internsip for) development and development again and again!

Even now! today is monday! i have just came to work! and what do you think! i was told that tonight i am going to another 2 days business-trip in the western Czechs on the border of Germany. that is again movements, development, new people, new impressions, new information, new pictures, so stay tuned and for this several months i am here -you will know everything about this country)
