Activism in Czech Republic 2: Communists are back?

Saturday, March 31st, 2007

I am following the demonstrations held in Czech Republic and especially in Brno regarding the protestation against the American missile base in Czech Republic, I think the best event was Prague’s one on March 17th.

Coke war: Kofola, another Czech national drink

Thursday, March 22nd, 2007

 Czech Republic is not only famous by its variety of beers and wines, but also a coke called Kofola.
I did not pay attention all this time, as I generally don’t like coke, for the taste and the unknown composition, but I read an article on Wikipedia that changed my mind.
Kofola was created during the […]

Things I did not like in Prague

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

Prices are so high, dishes prices consist of 3 digits each one, you are lucky if you find some salad for 150 CZK

Unlike in Brno, where tram tickets are sold in tobacco shops, 3 day tickets are only sold in information centers in big metro stations, which are closed on Saturday. The automates have 24 […]

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

 The actual issue these days in the Czech Republic is about a Petition Against Missile Base.

Getting started with Czech cuisine: smažený sýr — Fried cheese

Saturday, February 3rd, 2007

Who could ever think that I would talk about gastronomy?
Yes, things changed, and I found out that I have some cooking skills. My life is actually so quiet, sometimes boring, that cooking became one of my most interesting activities. It started when I roasted beef, and added some Tunisian-Italian-French condiments (let’s say Mediterranean), and […]

Dear Madam the minister,

Fedora Lite, aka Fidorka

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

 

Fedora 7 will be the next release of Fedora. It is highlighted by the elimination of the distinction between Fedora Core and Fedora Extras entirely; there is only Fedora.

My suggestion is, how about a light version of Fedora, that we would call it Fidorka?
Nothing serious, but I just liked the pack, plus […]
