Včera a dnes proběhlo první kolo první přímé volby prezidenta České republiky. Prezident zatím zvolen nebyl (potřeboval by více než 50 % hlasů), takže bude za 2 týdny druhé kolo, do kterého postoupí dva nejúspěšnější kandidáti. Těmi se stali Miloš Zeman a Karel Schwarzenberg. The first round of the first direct election of the president of the Czech Republic took place yesterday and today.

Znáte českou muziku? České zpěváky, zpěvačky, kapely nebo lidové písničky? Že ne? No, já nejsem žádný expert, ale nějaké známé vám představit mohu. Například dnes večer jsem dostala chuť si poslechnout skupinu Mňága a Žďorp.  Do you know Czech music? Czech singers (male, female), bands or folk songs? You don't? Well, I'm no expert, but I can introduce some of the well-known onse to you.

You just wake up one day and realize you're Russian. I just can't resist commenting on the recent fuss surrounding Depardieu and his change of citizenship. It's funny how upset people get! But it just uncovers how nationalist our view of citizenship is: surely, you can't change citizenships just by clicking your fingers!

Re CzechingIn The funny thing about "national cultures" is that they don't exist. They're just creations of discourse, just constructions made by the media or outsiders. While we know that there we don't actually do all the stuff that is supposed to be OUR national customs, and that there are regional differences within our countries, and that if we meet another person of our nationality

The first impression a foreigner gets when arriving to the Czech Republic is probably that Czechs are unsmiling, distant or even rude people. This impression is reinforced by generally horrible service provided in restaurants and shops. The respondents see several possible causes: a relic of the communist era, an unfavourable system of wages and management, or the tendency to separate work and

Seděla jsem takhle v jedné kavárně a u stolu vedle se živě bavily tři (pravděpodobně) vysokoškolské studentky. Nejprve jsem je zaznamenala pouze proto, že poněkud rušily obvykle poklidnou atmosféru kavárny, ale potom jsem se na chvíli zaposlouchala do jejich hovoru a pusou tak trochu zalapala jako kapr na suchu.

Central EuropeCentral Europe is an area “in between” (Batt 2003: 9) – Western Europe and Russia (or Eastern Europe), Russia having been “the (rejected) other” (Kundera 1984: 34, Drulák 2006: 171). However, it would be wrong to imagine that Central Europe can serve as a mediator between those two – in fact, the “Russians have always had much closer and more direct contacts with the Germans and the
