weekly Times!

Chao!
the name of this post is weekly Times! logically it is simple! i havent written anything here for about a week and this is a special issue of my blog Times newspaper))
of course, the week of abscence doesnt mean that there was nothing interesting happening!
so! firstly want to say about the new friends (AIESEC interns) who arrived to Ostrava! These are two boys! the first one is form Macedonia and the second is From Italy! On the last Thursday we were having the welcome party for them statring as usual in the AIESEC flat! So, we have heard some interesting fact about the countries, where this guys were from, really fact we even dudnt know! While hearing to them we have tasted their national drinks - Italian wines and a really strong alcohol (52 degrees) from Macedonia. This thing impressed me much, while it seems to be on the taste as a mix of Cognac, Rum and something else.

after all this stuff as usuall we went to the most famous in Czech Republic Pub Street Stodolni! No, actually we didnt go, we swam there, cause in Ostrava i thing for more than a week there is NON-stopping rain! In some minutes we reached the Pub named road 88 or something like this! Everything inside this Pub is connected with the road, after entering the Pub first thing you see is the big part of the soviet car Lada hanging above your head on the top!

Then you see the lots of car numbers on the walls, traffic lights and other stuff! When i entered the pub, i have also felt the strong smell of what do you think??? CANABIS! I asked my Czech friends if it was ok and they answered me that it was, while smoking canabis is legalised here. Maybу you dont know, but gays pair can officially be married here. So this country seems to be the second Netherlands now, democracy rules the country.

Back to interns, i think, that there are already 11 of us! so this is a big amount of foreigners for 1 LC in the same time! and this day we are expecting the Chineese girl! And tomorrow will be the new welcome party for her! So this is the new possibility to get to know the new culturem to chat with other interns and just to relax a bit in the middle of the hard working week!

The next day (it was the 7th of september, Friday) we continued our custom to spend the weekends somewhere, but not at home))

This week it was the mount systems called Beskeds! the Besceds moutains are situated about 50 km from Ostrava, this is the place, where the Ostravice river begins its way!
This was the corporate social event of the company of my girl, the so-to-say team building!
we have made an accomodation in a cool hotel! and the most amasing thing that the hotel-owner was russian, so have spoken russian to him! and he told us some interesting facts about those places. In real in the third biggest city of Czech Republic Ostrava we havent met anyone speaking russian and here , somewhere far in the mountains we managed to do this!
even rain didnt stop us of having the good time together!There was an inside swiming pool with hot water, sauna, dgakuzi! and amazingly beautiful nature around! Little rivers, little waterfalls and wild nature!

in the evening we sat in the Pub dinking Beskidsky Tea or playing bowling!
so, the weekends ran very quickly as usual)))) but at the same time so do the working days)

by the way, i got salary today, so, i am very happy)
till next "Times" issue!

say hello to the Autumn

Yes, you cannot do anything against the time. The time is always stronger, than we are. As far as i know , the humankind still hadnt invented anything to beat the time, no time machine, no elecsir against getting old, no time travellings. So, as much we wished the summer to stay longer, the fact is that we are having the 3d of September and the time continues to run!
Now students have the new head ache - University (well, untill the winter session, they are still may be free)))


The last days of summer, I, as lots of other people, was trying to catch the summers tail. I have visited the Place called Poruba, this is the part of Ostrava, where there is the biggest swimming-pool on the open air in the whole Central Europe situated. The water there is crystally clean and without any smell of Chlor.There is plenty of place for everyone, while it is really big. You can jump from different highs therem ride the water-attractions, drink beer or just enjoy the sun.
So did I, but altogether))) the pictures of it are available on my photo web.

Well,at the beginning of Autumn we are always sad, that is why we have decided to spend it as fun as possible!
and, oh wonder!!! On the very first of September there was a Radegast Beer Festival in Ostrava, you cannot even wish anything better to spend good time!!!)
In the very beginning, there were not so many people and we simply enjoyed some music band playing on the scene. The sponsor of this event, really tasty beer Radegast invented some attracions in the park there, where everyone could try himself for free)
So, we were not the exception)



We (me and my girl Vikky) tried every attraction! some were really easy, some of them were really hard, taking lots of power-efforts, for example, i should climb the mountain


or lift at least 25 times per minute a kega of beer over my head.
There a lots of pictures of this festival on my photo-web:

As the result we have won brander Radegast products: 3 caps, 1 T-shirt, 1 Pullover, 2 beer cups, 2 beer -openers and of course beer!
That was really funny and i think that we have met Autumn with the head up!
I dont know how much beer was drank there, but all the people were very happy and had a lot of fun.

The next day after the festival(yesterday- sunday, the 2d of September) we decided also not to stay at home, hey, by the way, 2 days ago we have moved to the new flat, very nice and convenient on the main street os Ostrava.
So, we decided to visit some nearby cities!
we wanted to see some castles and we went to Hradec nad Moravice city!
On the way to this city there is also a town Opava, which we decided to visit at the same day!


In fact Opava founded to be even more beautiful than Hradec, there are lot of nice and old buildings, some of them, i think from the 17th century!!!!
so, there are a lot of fountains and interesting monuments(for exapmle the watch in the form of moon)
but as it is usual i think for the whole Czech Republic(except Praha maybe), you cannot meet any people in the centre of the city on weekend in the daytime. Frankly speaking, i still cannot understand this phenomenon, i dont believe that they are staying at home, but where do they then go????

after seeing the places of interest in Opava we went to Hradec! We wenrt there by a very funny train, containing of only 1 vagon, which is movint on the motor of a big truck! really interesting!!!
it took us 20 minutes to reach the castle from the railway station.
the castle was really interesting and beautifull. Inside it there is still green like in spring grass and different beautifull buildings! There are also people, the workers, dressed up in the meddieval clothes, playing with the children of visitors!
everything this took me in the atmosphere of reflection and just good mood!



But as i have said in the beginning of this post, the time runs and we cannot do anything about it, but to enjoy the moment. and the time ran... it is monday, the new week, the 5 days working week ahead... but i like my work! and i remember that the time runs) so soon will be the new weekend and the new impressions : )
