Prague public transport series

Rajska zahrada metro station. It was the first one that was designed to be pretty and not boring.


Those who have been to Prague most likely passed this church (walking or in a tram) near Malostranske square. The church itself isn't that much interesting.


And when you happen to forget your ticket, you pay fine. As is the blond girl in this case.

PS: To make this at least a little informative... here's a very helpful website of Prague Public Transport Company.

Underpass

One beer to go, please

You could have "beer to go" here and at thousand different places for ages. But this is the first time I saw "Beer to go" on display. Great idea!

Very close to Charles Bridge. 27 CZK = roughly 1 EUR. Isn't life beautiful? :)

24 frames from nightlife (mostly)

No photos in last days = a lot of photos today. Hope you don't mind :)
After celebrating friend's birthday we ended in Ocko club at Pankrac. I liked the drawings.


Dancing girls were likable, too. Much better in person.
(Sorry for the bad bad scans.)


And they swung.
(It really was dark in there. I have a few 4 seconds shots on 50 iso film... steady hand it was not, and not worth sharing.)


KFC at I.P. Pavlova. The "window" is open nonstop.


Getting home (sweet home) at sunrise.


Then we were at finale of Bravo Girl model search competition. Bravo Girl and Bravo are like the most known teenage magazines in Czech republic. I bet 99% of teenagers get their sexual education from these. At least we did.






This was a wonderful evening. People from those magazines are so nice.


Oh, and it was in Jet Set bar at Andel.


Moving to Dynamo bar near Narodni trida (and our office).


There were Misa and Tereza at the opposite table. I had to state their names under the photo... well, I didn't tell them I was trying to get a picture of the dog (very poorly). It's a very dog friendly bar.


Another very nice people are from Stratosfera (publishing house which publishes magazines such as Cosmopolitan). Here catching tram after Spy and Top Gear party in Solidni nejistota.


Finlandia Midnight Sun at Branicka louka. The location is fantastic. But when it rains it gets a lot less charming. At this time Apocalyptica started playing.


On Friday we got these tickets to Hedkandi at SaSaZu - the new club at Holesovicka trznice.


It was quite spectacular. With flying bowl with DJs in it.




It was the day after Michael Jackson died. They put his photo on the screen and when DJ played parts of Thriller it was full of emotions. He was the best.


DJs' "bowl". They are in the air now. Luckily for them, they were down most of the time.




Did I mention it is not a cheap club?


Chilling outside.


And back inside. It was like 2 or 3 am. At 5 am people went dancing on the stage.
At 7 am I had to meet a friend and had a walk under Prague castle.
At 8 am I met some drunken guys at Charles Bridge who wanted to have their picture taken and demand posting it on facebook. Due to good manners I won't do that. Last time I met two British girls there. It was incomparably more pleasant experience. And once before that I met a girl who looked just like younger Denise Richards there. But that is entirely different...



Thanks for your attention. We'll see each other soon :)

Enlightened Buddha

Just hanging

Shaggy Beetle

Must be fun driving this car :)

Oh, Teddy Bear, what did they do to you?

Waiting to be taken:
a) home
b) to another home
... there can't be any other option. Otherwise it would be very sad.

Hannah Montana... and why I have the best of both worlds

Ok, this would be a weird post. I warn you ahead. Because it is weird when you are, well, old enough and still a fan of Miley Cyrus :) We have this Hannah Montana movie in Czech Republic right know and it's better than you would have thought. I don't have to tell you I was the oldest one in the audience. But(!), it was also advantage watching the film because when you know what the kids know and also what the kids cannot know (at least in my mind kids don't follow insides of this industry)... the experience is even better. I had a chance to talk with editor from popular Czech teenage magazine yesterday who was at Miley Cyrus' press event and we came to conclusion that she really is really good. So here you have it (I warned you). Hopefully you'll come back and not abandon this blog :)

PS: I have a picture of a sweet teddy bear as a treat for you for tomorrow :)

OBI, vegetables and school food

On weekends you have all the time for all the DIY projects. Visiting store such as OBI is the first step. Here is my favorite in Modrany.


This is fruits and vegetables market in Horni Pocernice on Saturday morning. The idea is great but I don't think local farmers can make profit here (month ago there were three stands, now it's just one). At least until they focus on marketing... there are so many options to increase their sales. Well, we'll see.


We had EU elections few weeks back. As usual we voted in our old elementary school. Each classroom is prepared for voters from different part of our district. Mine was the last one on left (as has been for ages).


And while in old school I sneaked in the old dinning-room for which I have so many fond memories. BTW, the typical school food we all hated is the best choice if you go to a Czech restaurant. Somehow all the stewed vegetables, spinach and so turn out to be a delightful experience when done right :) (I have a theory that there is similar effect on literature. You also find so many years later that books our teacher wanted us to read in school are, in fact, worth reading.)

And that's all. Enjoy the rest of Sunday.

Friday

Mustek and Florenc metro stations

After Jessica's metro shot at Rome Photo Blog... why not show some pictures from Prague. And I didn't know it's not allowed to take pictures in Rome metro. We have it much easier here.

McDonald's story

This is how it all begins. Job interview.


Some people are extremely camera-shy.


And some are not.


Working on home works.


Working on real work!


Just chatting.


Working. Again.


Smiling. (Just to end this post with a positive picture.)


PS: Don't forget to see Monochrome maniacs for this week.

Sunday's over

This is the best time in Prague. Sunday night. Summer in the air. Empty streets. The time when you don't want to go home.


I can't resist when there's a mirror on the street :)
