Tram driver with great sense of humour

On my way to the centre of the city I found a tram driver with great sense of humuor. In his "cockpit" was "made" an extra controll panel from cardboard with imaginary buttons. There were three of them.

1) ploughshare (plowshare) on cars
2) sub-machine gun on human beings
3) light-speed jets

It really made me laugh that day.

Petr Čech Everywhere! Strange marketing of global comapnies?

I am no supporter to the fact, that when you are well-known and successful, that you should not be doing advertising, but what the Petr Čech (goalkeeper of english footbal club Chelsea with Czech origins) concerns, I think that it is way too much.

On my way to the school I can see him on posters of several companies. First of all he shows himself as hi-tech fan in the Samsung advertisings. Then he is the "face" of the Marks and Spencer company and the third is the poster of Ceska Sporitelna (part of the Erste Bank).

I guess that if I were in his position, I would do the same, but maybe the marketing divisions of those companies mentioned above should do better timing with their campaigns. It is somehow strange, that all of them has Petr Čech right now on their posters. And in the end the effect is somehowe more negative than positive. And what is the most funny part in that, is a interview from the time, when Petr Čech was injured and he said there, that he has millions of offers to do some kind of advertisements, but he really chooses wisely... So he chooses wisely, but those companies should be better informed, that they will have Petr Čech as a propagator of their brands at the same time.

David's Butt and other stuff to do in Florence

If you ever wondered, how does look the butt of the statue of David sculped by Michelangelo, here is my photo of these rear parts. On every published photo you see the sculpture from the front. So here I am bringing you the butt of the David. It is copyrighted free, so you can wipe your ass with that, if you want to, unless you sell it to Us Weekly for a zillion bucks.

Anyway Firenze (Florence) was quite beautiful. But with very tiny streets and I had really BIG difficulties driving the Mazda Xedos 9 car there (at historical centre), cause it is 4,8 metres long vehicle. But what really pissed me off, was a fact, that the famous Uffizi Gallery was closed due to some strike or something.

And other florentian fact, that really pissed me off, was a fact, that at the Boboli gardens they did not accept ISIC Cards to prove the fact, that I am student, but passport and ID was OK (but I left my ID in the car). I really do not get, where in the Passport or ID card is written, that I am a student and I can be granted the reduced entry fee. Guess that paying 9 euros to enter the Boboli Gardens is quite a lot of money, when for the same money you can sleep at camping site at Corsica for one night. But anyway we payed 9 euros each and entered the gardens, cause they were beautiful. Screw their rules with ignoring ISIC cards, it was great anyway.

Czechs behave like pigs at Corsica Natural Park

I am really ashamed of my other co-inhabitants of Czech Republic, because everytime I saw a tin waste from food at the Corsica Natural Park, it was tin, which was produced in the Czech Republic. Like "Sardinky v oleji" (Sardines in oil) at Monte Cinto or Májka (Czech paté in yellow tin) at Lac de Capitello . I really do not get it. If I go into the nature with food I always carry my garbage back and throw it into bins at cities. Is it really that hard to carry it back? That after reaching the top of the mountain with 150 grammes of food, people must throw away tin weighing 10 grammes?

"Funny" thing is, that today was on the news, that Czechs are behaving like pigs at Finland, too, cause they throw garbage into woods there and stay for weeks at free wooden shelters, which are designed for one night sleep during the trek.

With this reputation I am really looking forward to my half-year stay at Finland and I hope that everytime I say I am from Czech Republic, Finns would look at me as at a chronic garbage thrower.

Me on the top of the Monte Renoso

This is me sitting at the top of the Monte Renoso (2 352 m). I put this picture here, cause below the cross was a logbook, where people had written their thoughts and stuff and there was a funny sentence in German language, which meant: "I like it here, but Schweiz is more beautiful." which made me really laugh. Anyway if you do not know it, Monte Renoso is one of the highest peaks at Corsica. The other highest mountains are Monte Cinto (2 706 m), Monte Rotondo (2 622 m) and Monte d'Oro (2 389 m). To be honest, this Monte Renoso has the easiest acces to the top. I tried to go to the top of the Monte Cinto, but we turned back (with my girlfriend) about 50 metres under the highest point of the mountain, cause there was difficult passage for her. Anyway we both loved it there.
