Controversial... No offense... I know we are shallow... Whatever!!!

The conversation took place last night, over a few beers in our good ol’ Dog’s Bollocks (yes, that’s the name, as the bar proudly presents itself)…

Lise: … so yeah, apparently this guy is among the candidates for Man of the Year a few years back…
The rest of the girls: Wait. What did you say again? Man of the Year?
Lise: Yes!
The rest of the girls: In Czech Republic?
Lise: Yes!!
The rest of the girls: No way! I still don’t believe it.
Lise: I know! But it’s true. They do have hot guys in this country!
The rest of the girls: My world is crashed… or actually not.

Thanks Lise for the web link. Well, it’s official. There was a Man of the Year voting in 2003.



Winner: Milan Souček


Now, I know what you are thinking (at least what guys are thinking). “So there must be one for Woman of the Year too then?” So smart. Yes, apparently there was.



Eat your heart out!

Living proof of the boys' lucky life in Praha.

You know it’s a good party when it’s ended by two policemen at the door trying to fine 30 drunken foreigners for making too much noise at 3 am. Well if they had come earlier and seen Richie doing Haka they would understand that the excitement was totally reasonable!

(Update: The previous video has a sound lag, and now here's the good one. Enjoy!)

Thanks Al, Richie & Neil for the awesome housewarming party!

Vodka For Fun rocks!

To Andělers 2005 (2006)

Hello my dearest Sweeties,

Yesterday it was raining again and pretty sad and romantic music was played on the air, so I was wandering in our Andel home, and of course I couldn’t abstain from my harmful chronic habit (pictures taking :-) ). But I have done it, because I thought you will be glad to have a look at our precious home. So I’m attaching them here …:)
Oh well ..I should have written it in the beginning, that I came back here (finally). I thought it would be for a year, but probably I’m still too young to make some serious decisions, ‘coz I’m not sure now whether I will stay here even till the middle of September :-( (or I will stay, don’t know yet….:)… just you know, things happen sometimes, when one has too many plans :) ). But still I am sharing the room with Jenny , who is thrilling every time I come back to our room at 2 at night :-) …or when I am trying to close the window (which is near her bed) at midnight even not having turned on the light (probably now she is praying for Geri to come back :-) ). Forgot to mention that I am sleeping on ex-Vika’s and later Geri’s bed (indeed very nice spot (I don't have there very sweet dreams at night ;) , but still sleep very well there. So thanks Vika ,Geri and Andre ( ;-) ), who left me positive energy there :-)
And probably the most important thing, what I have to mention is that..…I deadly miss you guys here…Indeed yesterday I hardly kept myself from crying …just don’t know, probably, all of you were my first foreign friends and a part of the life-changing experience ... and I have to confess that I did adore all of you…and yesterday simply I wanted to see you guys there again… at least for a while ….there….at our Andel…:-) ..

From Prague with love,
Sincerely yours,
Olya

More on the good bits

Thanks Andre for the post on the customer service here. SO TRUE it’s not even funny. Remember our “salmon encounter”?

“This is not what we ordered.”
“Yes. Sorry. It’s my mistake.”
“Then why should we pay for it?”
“I’m sorry… you must pay.”

However I have to agree on all the good bits of Czech Republic. Here’s the elaboration of his first point, not surprisingly, beer. Check out this guy’s Ultimate Beer Run in this country. What a champ! (Thanks Aruna for forwarding the article and thanks her sister for discovering it!)

“Bohemia is it. … It is the fountainhead, if you like, of most beer in the world.”

Welcome to the world’s beer-drinking capital.

Hey yo Geri!

I'm so glad that no matter how hard Veronica has tried to lock you in the closet and thrown away the key, you finally managed to sneak out and leave your miserable life here. We can't stop you from fighting for a better life, can we? I try to recall what are the most frequent words you said to me so that I can write them down and reply with "thank you", but apparently what I've done to your life for the past 9 months has made you yell at me so many times that now all that's stuck in my head is "Oh you are so mean!", so it seems I should say "sorry" instead.

Well, it wasn't that bad, was it? At least we all enjoyed the flipping fun time when we had you here…

…all our travels,


…all the sunny weekend chilling in the parks,


…all the good ol' parties that got you drunk and fall asleep on the night trams (including your own going away party),


…all our cooking delight… wait, sorry, all your cooking and my eating delight,


and of course all the random moments of me annoying you including pulling your curly hair when you are too tired or too drunk to hit back.

All the best, roomie. Enjoy your travels and hope you are happier back home in "Detroit". Thanks for putting up with me and all the kids who like to piss you off. Next time learn to punch back (to them, not me)… or find a better roommate (which is difficult btw). If you liked all the "sweet" memories we had, come to the Grand Reunion Hawaii 2011! Come play with us, forever, and ever, and EVER!


From Andel with love,

All of us who enjoyed and are missing your cakes
