czechguy's VirtualTourist Home Page

When i was a small kid, i did not know any language but mine, Czech, which is by the way god damn difficult to learn, but i managed somehow.
I used to have in my room where i was with my older brother,a set of those small cars that everyone knows.
Anyway, there were some words that were not czech and i wondered whatta?
Asked my bro who was always smarter than me what were they and he replied
that is English, pete
English?
They ain't russian? I mean english were the bad guys and stuff at that time in the middle of 80's.
I knew that something was wrong and i have to do something about it.
Some years later i saw a postcard that my dad send us while travelling.
I remember that the picture was showing some people lying in dust and horrible heat and were surrounded by stuff that looked to me like it was 1000 years ago.
It was a picture of Agadez in Niger and somehow i managed to get there some 20 years later only thanks to my brother, mom, dad even i never told them.

Obviously there are different places to go and i would put them in two categories.
First one would be countries like France or U.S.A which i consider easy.
The second would be countries like Niger which i consider interesting.
Sure there are ugly irritating bit==== waiting for costumers in the middle of Paris or 11 years old kids wearing bullet proof vests in southeast D.C., but c'est la vie.
So if someone wants to choose what to read consider reading stuff about INTERESTING places rather than well known.

Believe me.
Me with a bunch of Czech and Slovak lifeguards in the misty Polish forest.
Wonderfull people.

Try to say that in Prague and everyone is gonna laugh but it is the TRUTH.
I did not know that either but that ugly guy who got lost in the forest told me later and thanks to him i know it.
It is one of many hidden secrets of Prague.
P.S.
It is actually Vietnamtown even there is large group of Chinese.

Most of the time when i travel i do not realize that in most cases the ROAD is the THING not the point where am goin'.
This photo was taken close to World Heritage Site Qusajr 'Amra and is showing main road leading from 'Amman to Baghdad.
By the way Qusajr 'Amra was found and described by a Czech guy who used to give lectures in university which i also attend.

only desert landscape with huge sand dunes can give u place and time to thing about everything u always wanted to know.
Hear the silence - that is SOMETHING
