What a wonderful day :)

Today I have a story - about that people can be really nice. And days like today make me think that it's not truth that people are bad and will never help. OK, no more introduction, that's the story:

Yesterday we had a company party which I went to after some troubles with making decision and my co-workers convincing me to go. It was fun, free food and free drinks, really nice people. We talked a lot - in English, Czech, Polish and French, we played foozball, we sat at the beach and we had a boat trip...it was great!!! As I mentioned, the drinks were free, so we all got drunk a bit. And it started raining, I was in sandals, they were wet and very slippery. I felt from the stairs on the boat (I know, I'm really ashamed - company party). And because my bag doesn't have a zipper, my wallet felt out. Of course I noticed it today in the morning, getting ready to leave to work. I called the boat and they said they have the wallet and I should pick it up when I want to. And then I realized how much money I had in there - 3 500Kc, which is around 150$!!! And when I got the wallet, everything was there! My credit cards, tram/metro pass for 3 months, all the money!

I was really amazed! Now anyone who will visit me here will have to take the boat trip with them. That will be my thank you. Or, the other option is sending some chocolates. I need to figure it out.

OK, have to run, Maysia is here and I'm meeting her in 5 minutes. I'm so happy!!!

Sama na obczyznie

I'm afraid my blog will soon become like Prince's one - no post for 3 months. I hope not, but... I don't really have anything interesting to say, just what was I doing and it's always about weekends. Today I don't have anything especially interesting either.
I'm in a weird mood recently. I miss my family and my friend from Poland. Here, pople are nice but they are different. All the natives - they are not the same and I miss "my people". The only positive thing that happend was that I met with Lida. On the other hand even if I were in Poland, I wouldn't see my friend too often. They are all busy - too busy to write an email :( And they are foregetting me very fast. I don't think I should be surprised - this year here, last year in Sweden, I think I lost them. Fun time of studies passed and now every yeaar I will have less and less friends, at least the old ones will go on their own ways. It's sad.
Last week it was my parents' 25th anniversary of marriage. I foregot about it. I feel really bad and ashamed. I'm afraid they are very dissapointed :(
So that's how it's going with me. I'm in this strange sad mood...

United Islands of Prague

Good morning!
Just a short post on Saturday morning. If you'd like to see, what we're doing this weekend, visit United Islands of Prague. I'm looking forward to see Placebo tonight. Yesterday we saw Rachid Taha, and it was amazing. The guy is Algerian, plays similar music to Kahled. I didn't really want to go but I'm very happy we end up going. It was real show, not the kind of concert I'd normally go in Poland. And tonight it will be real world - class.

Have a nice weekend!

Great News!

I'm going to the US!!! Well, at least that's the plan. My managers finally decided to send us to Pittsburg for the training. Our company is based in California and Pittsburg and there in Pittsburg there is the same team as our and they invited us. On Friday July 7th I have the visa interview. The date is unfortunate bc we were going to go to Cesky Krumlov for 4 days (the 5th and the 6th is national holiday in the CR), at least 4 of us and I was organizing it. So now, we're not going there, we might go cannoying or something - we'll see. I'm mostly concerned about the visa. I'm so happy! It's almost impossible not to get it when going for business trip. But still, keep your fingers crossed.

And other things? I have wonderful pics of sky before the storm from our window but they are not downloaded yet :( I'll try to force Prince to do it, so I can post them.

I saw Lida this week. It was wonderful. I missed her, we hadn't seen more than two months. But this is a story for another post.

Tomorrow we're going to see Plcebo!!! It will be great!

Leniwy sobotni poranek

Spokojny sobotni poranek nam mija na planowaniu dzisiejszej nocy. Wczoraj bylismy w winiarni, a potem w bardzo klimatycznej kafejce ze starymi fotografiami i lustrami itp na scianach (takie fotografie jak ta jedna sliczna cioci Mani, ktora wisiala nad drzwiami w pokoju babci i dziadzia). Klimat, nie klimat, upilismy sie troszke :) Ogolnie mily wieczor. Z tym ze Ksieciunio upil sie szybciej niz ja i chcial wracac no wiec ja musialam dozlopac swoje piwko szybciutko hehe co mi troszke uderzylo do glowy. Ale chlodne powietrze mi pomoglo i spokojnie dotarlismy do domu. Dzisiaj nie mam ani odrobinki kaca, w przeciwienstwie do Ksieciunia ktory od 7 rano umieral na kanapie :) Ale przez upal i alkochol sie obudzilam przed 8 i ok 8 wstalam. Wyobrazacie sobie? Ja o 8 w weekend!!! Tylko pogoda sie troszke popsuka, ale to dobrze, bo juz bylo za goraco. Przynamniej slonca nie ma takiego. I oddychac mozna latwiej.
To sie zabieram za jakies spprzatanie, bo lodowke w koncu rozmrazam (planowalam to juz ze 3 miesiace).
Udanego weekendu wszystkim zycze :)))

"(Almost) In-laws" in Prague

I have a slow day at work - there is a national holiday in Poland today so nobody is in the office, so I don't have to much to do. So I have time to write about the last week and weekend.
As you know, Prince's parents visited us. They came on Monday afternoon. I was so stressed the whole day - I couldn't concentrate on work, on my way to the train station I was shaking, terrible. But it was totally stupid and unnecessary - they are very nice people. We went for a dinner to our local on Monday, or maybe it was Tuesday... So we went somewhere else on Monday. I was working the whole week except for Friday so I joined them only for dinners. Unfortunately, Rob's Dad lost his wallet - it was stolen on tram. It was very unpleasant situation. We wanted to show them how beautiful and wonderful Prague is, but something like this destroys everything. Fortunately, he blocked all his credit cards fast enough and he didn't have too much cash.
On Friday we went to Josefov, Jewish quarter and then to Vysehrad (which I love, as you may already know). We ate in a dirty place, which was fun as usual. Oh, and on Wednesday we had dinner with Courtney and Adrian in the Budwar pub.
The best was the weekend. On Saturday morning we got a car and drove south to Cesky Krumlov with one stop in a lovely castle on a lake, Cervena Lhota or something like that. We arrived to Cesky Krumlov in the afternoon. It's wonderful place! We will definitely go back there. It's beautiful and old and small and it has great atmosphere. We went to the castle there and gardens and wondered around the town. On Saturday we went to Hluboka which is a castle near by (you know Prince; he wouldn't do anything except visiting castles if he could). Hluboka is said to be the most beautiful castle in South Bohemia and I definitely agree - it looks like from fairy tale. In the afternoon we went back to Cesky Krumlov, ate in Medivial place recommended by Ade, which was fun and delicious. And on Monday we drove back, stopping in Ceske Budejovice with great square, almost as big as the one in Krakow.

Weekend was great! And Rob's parents were very very nice. I enjoyed it very much and hopefully I'll figure out the way to visit them in the U.S.

As soon as Prince will download pictures, I'll post some of them.

Elizabeth's pics

Elizabeth send me (send US, me and Prince, actually) a CD with pics. Thank you very very much, Elizabeth, I love those pictures. And that's why I'm posting a few of them:

I really love this picture of a wall at one of Prague metro stations, Flora.

One of our lovely dinners at Elizabeth's place: Rob, me, Ruth, Chris and Scott.

Elizabeth's half birthday party (I think) - huge group in a cirner of a gay pub "Piano" (or something like that). There is Matt and Tiffany and Chris, Ruth and Josh, me and Rob and at the table with us John and Courtney (probably you can't see them but they are there)

Aren't we lovely?
Courtney and me.

Rob, me, Tiffany and Elizabeth at the brigde in Budapest.

I am sorry that I didn't mention week with Prince's parents (hmm, that would be King and Queen). That will be a very long post and I don't have time right now. (I'll tell you a secret - I think that Prince is mad at me for some strange reason, probably because I'm using HIS computer, so I have to finish and go see, what's the deal and make him not to be mad at me - I'm so wonderful and loving girlfriend that he shouldn't be mad.)

Thank you Elizabeth!

Long expected post

I'm very very sorry for not updating for so long. We have quite a busy time recently.
First of all, Rob's parents are visiting us. There are really nice and I enjoy their company. I was extramelly stressed before they came - I was all shaking, terrible. But it turned out to great! Unfortunatelly I cannot spend as much time with them all as I'd like because of my work. And work has been busy and stressful recently as well. There are many issues. To explain it all would take too much time. And I'm at work right now so I don't have time. But I promise to write loooong post next week.
For the weekend we're going out to Cesky Krumlov, probably to Kutna Hora too. So wait patiently for an update.
Love you all!
