Stay positive

Bulgarians are very negative people. I can notice it amongst my acquaintances here. Every one accuses the Czech of being smelly, eating too much garlic and I don't know what other bullshit. There are also comments like 'Czech are no good for boyfriends'.
I can go on by giving many other examples but thing is that I never heard someone share something about the positive things here. Nevertheless and no matter how much 'it sucks here' there are some people who seem to be immune against all this plague population here and stay several years. That's called being resistant.
In this regard I would like to share with you what I came across:

Check it out and show you are positive. No, not HIV positive as Cartman was making fun in one part of SP.

Beginning of May and June:P

Time seems to pass quite fast.

So in the last post I was telling you how I spend April and beginning of May and here I am with the prolongation...

May was a sad month.

June was much better. There was a planned trip in the beginning of the month to Cote d'Azur. We left on a sunday and came back on a thursday. It was not enough but quite alright. Of course we didn't manage to see everything but I guess one would need a month at least.
We stayed in Nice, it was our base camp so to say and from there each day we were exploring a destination. The first one was a village very close to the Italian border called Menton.
Actually we had planned for a day to visit Menton and on the way back Monaco but somehow we got stuck in that village walking in the exotic gardens, refreshing ourselves by walking with the trousers rolled up in the sea, eating baguette with prosciutto.

So the next day not to travel in the same direction we went to Cannes.
This time we were smart enough to have the bathing suits with us so after an exhausting walk and being overwhelmed with all multistar hotels we just stayed in the sun and cooled down by taking a short swim.
We climbed up the hill, visited the museum and back again to Nice

Third way was for visiting Monaco. We arrived there 5 minutes before the guards would change so we were speed walking the stairs up to catch the event.
After that we visited the oceanographic museum, then the car collection of King Albert, than the casino in Monte Carlo. Unfortunately even tho we played there was no win but I was trying to persuade Martin that if he would give me 5 more euro and would keep his fingers on mine while trying my luck it could go better..:)

Last day we walked a bit around Nice as our flight was int he afternoon. We visited the Russian church and museum of Chagal and went to collect the luggage.

I was going to upload pictures here but somehow it's a pain in the a** so I would hint you to the source:

I would go again there. Even tho all the beaches were with pebbles only the one in Cannes was sand it's worth to see it. You might feel depressed for being the only one without a LV bag but whatever:)
Hotel we stayed in was on a good location and worth the money.

So after Nice followed a crazy weekend in Sofia and it was crazy not coz of too much fun but of visiting stupid University and taking exams.Anyhow 3 left until I am done.

After that the weekend I was home alone because Martin was on business trip. Because he got one day delay we missed the Depeche Mode concert...
That weekend I was driving his Combi bubu in Brno like a pirate around. Managed to visit all malls and came home with some good stuff.

Meanwhile managed to see Terminator salvation, Transporters-bleeeh and Coralina which was maybe the best of those. A cartoon but a creepy one. I was told that the book is even worse.

So far so much. Maybe it would really make sense to blog more often than to make a month summary...

April and beginning of May : pics and stories:P

Lately I haven't been writing so I will summarize the month in pictures
Starting from the beginning of the month. Visit to Pernstejn, castle not far from Brno.
We took a tour inside and on the way back stopped in a cukrarna...nice


After that during easter time, not the orthodox, I got beaten with a stick, as the czech tradition is, and we visited Cesky Raj. It's an area full of castles, sand rocks and..snakes :D Happened to see one and totally fraked out...:
Cesky Raj:

Decided to paste the whole link as it would be much easier.
On the pics you will see the following castles : Hruba Skala, Valdstejn, Trosky, Humprecht and Kost.

The weekend after that we went to Prague to celebrate Martins uncle 60th anniversary.
This is a picture worth attention as we both usually don't dress up.


The next day after the celebration some people looked like this :



and others like that:



Weekend after we went to Ostrava to celebrate Martins fathers birthday. Saturday I was mowing the garden and later that day we had grilled wurst..:D
Sunday we went biking to the cemetery...where I was introduced to all his grandparents.
Was the first time I went to cemetery and it was okay until the moment when I realized that all the stones with names on them hide the story of several lives...

1st of May was spent next to the lake bbq'ing and celebrating the 30th bday of a friend.
2nd of May we went to Vienna to see Rembrandt in Albertina and then spend few hours in Prater, screaming like crazy. We tried 'dizzy mouse' some 'bahn', a funny one with lazers and it's all dark around you...
We had camera but somehow all day it stayed in the bag..so not a single picture:)

See you next month:P with further updates.
As my brother will be visiting I think I will gather new pics:)

Sun and snow

Today we went snowboarding. Maybe for the last time this year. The weather was great.
Sunny all day long and warm. I guess if I didn't wake up at 5:30 I would have been more excited about the whole thing:)

Btw I haven't been writing lately here but nothing exciting was going one.

Was for a few days in Slovakia, Nizke Tatry, again for snowboarding...was perfect, plus I made it again to Besenova thermal baths...Entrance was for free as it was 8th of March, and we got back massage...mmm




Me and Martin

I am 16 again?

I don't know if it's the winter, the cold weather or me not dressing warm enough but I rarely feel like going somewhere else besides home from work...
This results in me becoming a chat maniac;)
