Sometimes

Sometimes you don't have to drive over the borders to get into the best Christmas mood!

Our Christmas Market here in Prague. Wouldn't recommend to drink "Gluhwein" there, but besides this, we have the prettiest "Tannenbaum". 

Nas vianocny trh v Prahe. Asi by som Vam neodporucala pit tam varene vino, ale az na tento detail tam vladne prima vianocna atmosfera a jednoznacne mame najkrajsi vianocny stromcek!

Vianočky na trhu, part 2

I don't know how Germans do it, but for some reason Christmas markets here are always OVERCROWDED!!! And with overcrowded I mean SUPER overcrowded. It's like walking into Zara, when they have sales, or even when they don't, or walking into Tesco on Friday afternoon, when everyone is shopping for weekend. Yes, this is a Christmas Market in Germany. And it wasn't different in Dresden this weekend either.

It might be the high quality mixed with expectations but for some reason there were like million Czech people everywhere and it was pretty difficult to spot a German among them haha.

Now, I'm sending you some more christmasy pictures from the weekend. Hope you'll enjoy and get inspired to go and get your x-mas mug from some x-mas market!

Do you also travel for x-mas market? Which one is your favorite? 

Let me know I am all ears!

Neviem ako to ti Nemci robia, ale z nejakeho dovodu su stale nemecke vianocne trhy uplne PREPCHATE! A myslim tym SUPER prepchate. Nieco ako ked vojdete do Zary, ked maju vypredaje,  sice aj ked nemaju, alebo ked vojdete do Tesca v piatok poobede, ked si kazdy robi zasoby na vikend. Ano, inak tomu nebolo ani tento vikend v Drazdanoch.

Je to mozno tou vysokou kvalitou, ktora sa tu miesa s ocakavaniami a dojazdovou blizkostou, ale tento vikend tam bolo asi milion Cechov, a bolo vazne zlozite najst v tej mase ludi nejakeho Nemca - haha.

Dnes Vam tu este necham zopar fotiek z trhov, aby ste sa inspirovali a nacerpali vianocnu atmosferu.

Cestujete aj Vy za vianocnymi trhmi? Ktory je Vas najoblubenejsi?

Som same usi! 

Vianocna "štóla" - velmi typicka pre nemecky trh

Och, tieto babatka v orechovej skrupinke sa pre mna stavaju vyzvou Vianoc, pokusim sa nieco take zmajstrovat doma! Nemoze to byt az take tazke haha

Dve vianocky vysmiate ako leco :D

Tannenbaum!

Ozdoby na stromcek

Dali sme si samozrejme aj pecene gastany - mnam!

Vianočky na trhu, part 1.

Sometimes it's hard to capture the moment, but sometimes pictures just speak for us.

I hope my case is gonna be the second option as I was trying and snapping everything I saw and tasted the other day in Dresden Christmas Market.

For everyone Germany represents something else. The top cars, beer, science and education? For me, Germans are the best in doing Christmas! Especially Christmas atmosphere in the proper x-mas market - oh the best!

So girls and I got into a car and in less than 2 hours we were in Dresden! Here you can see some of the delights we've seen and tried, the rest is coming tomorrow:)

Niekedy je tazke zachytit ten spravny moment, ale niekedy to ide velmi lahko a fotky hovoria same za nas. Ja dufam, ze mojim pripadom bude ta druha moznost, lebo vcera som sa snazila co to dalo, aby som vsetko co sme videli a ochutnali odfotila a zachytila tu pravu vianocnu atmosferu na vianocnom trhu v Drazdanoch.

Nemecko pre kazdeho reprezentuje nieco ine. Bud su to skvele auta, pivo, mozno veda a vzdalanie? Pre mna su to jednoznacne Vianoce, pretoze si myslim, ze tu pravu vianocnu atmosferu nezozeniete nikde inde len v Nemecku (a Rakusku).

A tak sme sa 4 dievcata rozhodli, ze tento rok pojdeme pozriet vianocne trhy v Drazdanoch. Nasadli sme do auta a o necele 2 hodiny sme boli na tom carovnom mieste! Co sa dialo potom, Vam snad povedia fotky a zvysok zajtra!

Samozrejme Gluehwein bola nasa prva zastavka v krasnom hrnceku, ktory som si samozrejme doniesla domov! Dievcata ochutnali malinove vino, ja som ostala pri tradicnom.

Proooost!

4 vianocky na trhu!

Meet my friends: Lucka

Meet my friend - Lucka, who is my friend from university and currently also my flatmate. I've decided to introduce her to you as she is working in the man's world (for a car company) and I was curious how do they all treat her. Besides that she super smart and dedicated, she always brings us a home made cake when she comes on Sunday evening from home. So here you are and enjoy!
What do you have for breakfast?
During the weekend my Dad usually goes to the bakery and brings home all the delicious pastry he can find. My favorite are with raspberries, when the pastry is stuffed with raspberries and mascarpone - that's really delicious! Or when someone makes pancakes for breakfast, that's not bad either! As during the vacation, they made us fresh pancakes. And I like them with maple sirup or fruits. And always when I am watching Gossip Girl, they eat there those waffles with raspberries - oh, I'd like to have their breakfast!  And what was really surprising when speaking of breakfast, when I was this summer in Spain, they served ice cream for breakfast! Which I couldn't really go with, but maybe with pancakes it wouldn't be that bad! :)
How is it to work in men's world?
Well, it definitely has advantages and disadvantages. When it comes to advantages, it's always that they really appreciate that they have the there. They are also much into details and when I enter in the morning they scan me and make some compliment!
But do they also notice things, which normally guys don't see, such as when you cut your hair?
Yes, actually they are always checking if my nails fit my clothes!!! (oh my, and they are working with cars!!!) Or for example today, my college was also wearing green and he came to me and told me that we look like two turtles! Because he was wearing a green shirt, so we really matched!  It's just that sometimes they can be too observant, when it comes to cleavage or when I was wearing a white skirt during the summer and it was slightly see-through... They knew straight away that I was wearing lacy underwear, what was even sooner than I had a chance to realize it! Thanks to the small number of girls, which is 4 and 30 men, they are really putting an effort in their behavior, they open door for me or sometimes take my lunch - kinda gentlemen! :)
Do you think that sex (I mean if you're woman or man) can play a role when it comes for example to promotion? Would they prefer you to a man?

Well, probably not. If it was about staying in the office, then I think I would have an advantage. But with promotion, I don't think so. The guy will have it easier. They just all think that I am a girl so naturally I can't understand cars as much as a guy. But I think that they're really glad to have me here. And everyone is jealous of my boss, 'cos he has a girl in his devision! :D

But back to the disadvantages now - well, if there are any?!

Well, when they are looking at me, that look! a girl, she can't understand cars much. But I have to agree with them, I am not that much interested. We have loads of car magazines in work and I don't even open them. The closest I get is when I check the cover :D

And also when you see all guys talking to each other, how vulgar they can be. But actually this can be also an advantage, at least I have a chance to observe them, when they are together. But sometimes I am really amazed what comparisons they can make!

Thank you for the interview!

Spoznajte moju kamaratku Lucku! S Luckou sme sa spoznali na univerzite a momentalne sme dokonca aj spolubyvajuce. Rozhodla som sa Vam ju predstavit, lebo je to dievca, ktore sa pohybuje v cisto muzskom svete - pracuje totiz v auto-priemysle, a ja som bola zvedava, ako sa tam k nej spravaju. Okrem tohoto vsetkeho je super mudra a horliva, ale zo vsetkeho najviac mam rada, ked v nedelu vecer donesie domaci kolacik! Takze nech sa paci!
Co mas rada na ranajky?
Cez vikend ma tatko vo zvyku rano chodit nakupovat, tak nam stale potom nosi vsetko mozne co maju u nas dobreho v pekarni. Najlepsie su malinove, ked je pecivo plnene malinami a tvarohom - tak to je dobre! Alebo keby niekto urobil palacinky, to by bolo uplne dobre, ako ked sme boli na dovolenke a tam nam robili cerstve palacinky na ranajky :) A mam ich rada s javorovym sirupom alebo s nalozenym ovocim, nieco medzi dzemom alebo ovocim. A hlavne sa mi stale paci ked pozerame Gossip girl, tak raz by som chcela mat take ranajky! Tie ich wafle s malinami!  A teraz ked sme boli v Spanielsku, tak tam bola na ranajky aj zmrzlina! Ale tu som uplne nezvladla, ale mozno na tych palacinkach by asi nemusela byt zla.
Takze ake je to pracovat v cisto panskom kolektive?
Tak ma to urcite svoje vyhody aj nevyhody. Tie vyhody su v tom, ze ti chlapi si ta tam hrozne vazia, su velmi vsimavi, takze ked prides do prace, tak si ta vzdy celu prehliadnu, pochvalia ta ako ti to slusi, ...
Ale vsimnu si napriklad aj take veci, ktore si normane nevsimaju, napr. ze si ostrihana?
Ano, prave stale skumaju ako mam zladene nechty s oblecenim!!! (a to oni pracuju s autami!!) Alebo dnes jeden kolega bol tiez v zelenom ako ja a on ku mne prisiel, ze sme dnes ako dve korytnacky! Lebo mal zelenu koselu, tak sme boli k sebe pekne zladeni! No ono je to tak, ze niekedy ta to potesi ale ked mas potom vystrih alebo v lete ked som mala bielu suknu a ta bola trochu priesvitnejsia... - tak potom boli uz az prilis vsimavi! Takze hned videli, ze mam krajkovane spodne pradlo, co som pomaly nevedela ani ja! :D Vdaka tomu ze sme tam 4 dievcata a asi 30 chlapov, tak sa nas tam snazia rozmaznavat, stale otvaraju dvere, alebo ked idem na obed tak mi sem tam vezmu aj tacku s jednom - celkom gentlemani :) 
Myslis si, ze by pohlavie bolo rozhodujuce napriklad pri povyseni? Keby si mali vybrat medzi muzom a zenou?
No to asi nie. Ale keby sa jednalo len o to, ci tam zostanem ja alebo chlap, tak to by som asi vyhodu mala. Ale keby som mala byt povysena a jednalo by sa o mna a o chlapa, tak to budem mat tahsie. Lebo ti chlapi si povedia, ze to dievca tym autam predsa tak nerozumie. Ale myslim si, ze su radi, ze tam vobec nejake dievca maju a tak sa o mna staraju. Napr. aj ten sef je rad, ze ma tam ma, lebo nejakym sposobom mu ini zavidia, ze on ma na oddeleni dievca :D
