Czech Republic

My mom was organizing another trip to check out how rural communities are living in Czech Republic and asked me to come along. Needless to say, I said yes.

We got on the bus, had a looooong drive through Poland, and reached Czech Republic.

So on this trip we checked out a couple of things: first of all it's Prague. The thing that we wanted to see was Charles Bridge and the famous Prague clock. Dooone! Actually, Prague's clock is not that big...I mean yes, it is beautifully made and it is awesome, but you know when people the The Prague's Clock, you kind of expect something more....majestic. What I do remember very well is that there was some kind of parade at that time and it had storm troopers in it. Storm troopers always grab attention.

The second city we visited was Brno. And I don't really remember a lot about the sights, but we did go to
Budějovický Budvar, There we had a whooole brewery tour. I still have bracelet from there. What can I say about the brewery tour? It was interesting - to see how all the beer is made, how it is poured to bottles, how the bottles are shipped. But in the part when beer is fermented it reaaaaally smells.

Good thing when I'm on a trip with my mom's coworkers is that I'm usually the youngest, so everybody's taking care of me: I get extra snacks, I get extra attention and everybody's asking me advice when they want to get presents for their sons or grandchildren. So I'm in a kind of center of attention. I like attention, but I would feel better if they would be my age.

Also, in her trips, you can really see the country, because we don't just go to big towns, we visit little villages and see how people are doing there, how they are dealing with youth and general community. They also usually have common native foods and drinks, so you now only see the culture, but you can taste the culture as well!

The people who are going there on the trips get valuable insight on how people are dealing with rural communities and how they are making them grow and solve appearing problems. So I guess it's a win-win, they get the information they need, I get another country of my list.
