still loving Prague =D

well, now I have not 10 but 100 reasons. It's a pity I have not enough time to write it all because in 23 minutes I'm going to Brno to party with Lucie and Bozie =D =D

everything is being fast, as allways on vacations, but it is as great as fast =D =D

After Brno we're gonna go to Silesia to meet stepan family and then we're going to Poland to party with Magie and Danielita =) =) =)

I think this is the best trip ever, Prague is great, Czech beer couldn't be better, we had time to party, to visit, to get drunk, to make dinner with friends...EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!

and only in one week. I don't have much time, but in following posts I'm gonna tell the story of how stepan almost drove to brno to get to his place in chodov and the story of how we ended up huging each other during night in order not to fall down ;) (I'm sorry Stepi)

So far, only a picture of Prague castle

c u soon

I love CR

Eventhough I know you all fuckers are not reading my blog, I'm gonna keep updating it ;)

(yes, this message is for you Stepan)

I'm on vacation again, it looks like I'm allways on vacation :P

I decided to come to Prague to spend some days here with my Czech friends and later on we're planning to go to Poland to spend also a weekend with our Polish friends. For me this vacation have started in a really great way. I was real angry the day before getting those vacations and now it seems everything is gone =D =D

I arrived in Prague, and since the very first moment I felt in love (again) with this city. It smeels like east of Europe (ok, Stepan, middle Europe, whatever), for me it smells like Vilnius. I don't know, it just brings so many things to my head...I love it. I so wanna live somewhere here, so I think I'm gonna tell 10 reasons why I would live in CR.

1. As I said, it smeels like erasmus

2. People are crazy, really

3. I like Czech language, I like the pronuntiation, I love the wide ammount of words you have to say dick, pico and stuff like that :P

4. Potatoe omellete tastes better if you call it brambori omellete

5. I have many friends here, so for sure we could make some crazy parties (might be dangerous, so don't allow us cooking while drunk :P)

6. I'm in love with labas vakaras and I'd be closer to her

7. just becaue

8. I like fresh air in the face, I like this feeling (even when it's too fresh) :P

9. I rather to be called chaime than jaime

10. you have restaurants with trains!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now a small explanation, yesterday we went on party, we had dinner at a great czech place where I ordered more than 1Kg of meet, only for me!!!!!AMAZING. Before that we were in a pub where you order a beer and they bring it in this small electric trains, you have a railway all along the pub and it reaches the tables, so it's great...I think it couples every guy dreams...Cold beer and toy trains!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it.

Then we went on party to this disco which is built in a church, it was weird, but fun. We met Asta there, and that was a really nice surprice...well, maybe not surprise, cuz we knew she was there, but it was nice anyway.

In this church disco there were several plants. The disco plant, then a valconi from where you could see the disco, then a "making out" plant (it was really like that, dark...couples...)

And finally this salsa plant, it was full of these guys who really know how to dance, and lucky them we were just nor drunk enough to compite with them...otherwise of course I'd had showed them how to dance =D =D =D

Finally we decided to go to typical Czech pub, with rock music. It was cool, I liked it more than the making out disco church.

Today Stepan and I cooked brambori omelletes, it was pretty fun because I screwed it up a little and we made terrible mess (cleaning it wasn't that fun). However, we somehow succeded with the omelletes and now we can eat omellete for a week...(yes, I have problem with measurements)

As I told you, honsa, when I grow up I so wanna be like you =D =D =D

c u soon people =D

India: one good point one bad point

Where to start??? Difficult decision...this trip is being so....unique.

I'm in India doing some bussiness, I came here with my two bosses to meet my indian collegue who works in our office in India. the purpose of our visit was having some meetings with the guys we're working for (and whose name I cannot say :P) and to visit two future locations for csp plants so that we can give our opinion about the land they've bought and check on site whether our asumptions about meteorology seem to be correct.

First two days we stayed in Dheli, I had not had finished my solar resource study yet, so I spent two nights working and two days in meetings. I was so damn tired that I couldn't enjoy at all the fact of being somewhere abroad. Worth to mention that our flight was delayed and it took almost 24 hours to get here.

Anyway there were already some surprises, for instance, when I firslty arrived in India there was a taxi waiting for us at the airport...mmmmmmmmmmmm
After five minutes I though this guy was totally out of his mind, after 6 minutes I though it was the whole country. If you've not been in India you don't have any idea about what's crazy driving, really. There are not lanes for them, they don't give a shit whether they can knock someone down. If there is risk they just use the claxon and that's it...it's like a disguise...
-All right mate, I knocked you down, I killed you, but I pushed the claxon so everything is fine.
Really, I was so afraid everytime we had to take a car, it is a big mess everywhere.

One bad thing and one good. The hotel was comfortable, really, not big luxury but comfortable, the bed was great, it was so big that I could sleep with my head in one side of the bed and my feet didn't tresspase the other side (by side I mean left and right side, of course not top and bottom)

The stuff here is nice, they take care of every single detail, so that could be a positive point, but somehow I don't like it. I mean, first day in hotel I was walking through the hall and two guys where talking, as I passed they stood up as if I were the king or something. When we have meetings guys come all the time to serve things, that's they job and it's great, but the way how some people treat them I don't like it. I don't know, I have the feeling that somehow they're not treated as equals, and that's not what I'm used to. Someone can work for me like witer, or cleaning or whatever, but this does not make me better than this person and I owe them a respect. I don't know, I understand what I mean, but maybe I'm not making my point. Whatever, since I don't like it, everytime when we arrive in a new hotel I take my bags and I say I can carry them by myself.

The food, I like trying new things and that's great. On the other hand, I'm not having dinner tonight because I got sick...too much spicy I guess.
Everytime I ask for something not spicy they say...ok, this is not spicy...LOS COJONES!!!! then it's spicy anyway. Everything here is spicy, even breakfast!!!
So, one good point one bad point :P

I've got a doubt and I asked my Indian collegue today. He is great by the way, he answer all my stupid questions (and I have a lot)
well, to the point, cows here have hump (as camels), and since there are lots of camels too I though...It might be that a beautifull cow in the past, found some handsome camel...and you know...they felt in love...nature made its job...and voila...Cows with hump =D =D
Don't you think so????
My friend does not think so. To be fair, at the beginning I was afraid of asking because cow is a sacred animal for them, but then I though, what a fuck, cows also fuck...no matter whether it's with camels or bulls. So I decided to ask =D
Two positive points, one for my friend and one for Cowmels :P

Do you know that Indians have many many gods??? They do. Have you ever seen a god with elephant head??? I know the story and I'm telling it.
The guy used to live with his mother, he had never met his father. I guess the father was a god who didn't like responsibility ;). Once, his mother was gonna have shower and told him to watch out so that nobody come to disturb her. Suddenly his father came to visit his mother (they didn't know each other), and of course he didn't let him in. The father was so angry that he cutted his head with his sword. When the mother found out she got angry too (I've seen some girls angry, imagine a girl god...It gotta be like hell)...well, she got angry and told the father. WHAT DID YOU DO??? THIS IS YOUR SOON!!!! YOU ARE GOING AND GIVING ME BACK A HEAD FOR MY SOON!!!!RIGHT NOW!!! AND TAKE SOMETHING IN THE SUPERMARKET TO HAVE DINNER BY THE WAY!!!!!!! HURRY UP!!!!!!!! (Note that the supermarket part I made it up, but it sounds more familiar like this).
Then the father went to the jungle, he killed an elephant, cutted his head, and after he came by the supermarket he arrived in home with the head of the elephant. They put it on his soon shoulders (I guess they used industrial glue) and now they live all as a happy family =D =D =D =D =D

After Dheli we took some flights to the sites (it's gonna be 9 flights for me this week) and we started discovering the other India, the one of the villages without electricity, without water... This is sad, it's a bad point, even Mumbay which is huge city is full of slams. Then 2 bad points =(
Yesterday we ate in the field, it was great, spicy but great. Anyway, we didn't like the site much because there is too much water. Of course this is good for the refrigeration of the turbine, if you dig 1.5 meter you have water...but also when you dig to put your foundations (and it's gonna be much more than 1.5 meters) you'll get water. (It seems to me that they don't wanna hear it, but anyway we said our opinion).

It was also funny that they said.
-This is a natural stream and the water is sweet so we can use it also for cleaning.
You know how I am, so yes, I did something stupid. I TRIED THE WATER
And you know what??? It was salty like hell. I said so and they said...
-No no no no, it is not salty.
After that I tried it again...Now I'm wondering whether that could be the reason of my stomach problems.
-It is salty.
Finally, a guy who came with us and claims to be an expert in water (sure he is, I'm not making fun of him...well, only a bit :P) tried it and said.
-It is salty.
Then everybody believed so.
I have some thoughs. I agreed with a water expert, does it make me a water expert too??? Is it neccesary to have a water expert to say if a water is salty or not??? Was the water salty before the water expert tried it??? Is the elephant god involved in the water mistery???
Well, I gotta go, they called me twice to go downstairs to reception and I don't understand what they want..

I'll add some pic later (already added), I hope u guys enjoy this one.

C U FRIENDS =D

this one is for you Alfonso ;)

Hi there again =D =D =D

today I'm not gonna tell any story, for first time I'm writting just because I'm kinda bored and I feel like doing it. It's funny, last week I worked around 12 hours everyday, yesterday (Saturday) I worked too, today the same...I'm f****n tired, but you know, when you spend so many hours in the office eventhough you need to rest you want to do something so that you feel you didn't waste your day. This week I've watched a couple of movies, I came back to my favourite tv series, I played football and I even had time to have dinner with friends, and today, today I'm gonna have blog's night :P :P

Now I remember when I was...15???...something like that...well, we had parties in our village and I was near the crashing cars park (lets call it like that, I don't know how to say it in english so I will add a picture).

Suddenly Alfonso stoped his car and told me come here, I run to do so and some other car knocked me down...this is the first time I remember doing something with Alfonso. In the following years we have lived many things together, most of them as stupid and crazy as this knock down story. Now Alfonso lives in Slovenia, dude, I envy you so much...I want to be on erasmus with you there...whatever, I'm sure you're gonna rock it, and as I know you like my blog and you follow it I want to say that I also love yours...you read it and it is just you =) =) =)

This year I have three friends on Erasmus...well, sure I have more, Asta for instance, but I mean I have three friends from my village. Fer, Hugo and Alfonso...it looks like we're gonna have to travel =S what a shame...
looking on the bright side, I might live some stories to write here :P :P :P

C u soon friends =D

Sparklin wine

Is there anyone???? Can you hear me??? This is great thing about blogs, maybe nobody will read this, but you can write it as if you had millions of readers. I think the point of blogs is to have a space where you can write whatever you want, I used to write for myself when I was younger, I have also writen to or about some other people, but this is different, and somehow I like it, in addition I can practice my english, so I think I'll keep updating this blog time to time.

I'm gonna tell you a funny story, before Camino de Santiago I was in Milan with some friends. Stepan showed us how to open a wine bottle with his shoe (picture attached). The first night he succeded doing it...but the second night...well, we didn't know it by that time but we had bought by mistake a bottle of sparkling wine. As you can imagine the top of this bottle is fixed much better, it is much stronger so that you does not open it by accident.

I wanted to try his opener shoe so we went to the street to try it. I was 15 minutes hiting the bottle against the wall and nothing happened, I felt like an asshole, so Stepan tried it...nothing...we kept hiting it like hell during half an hour. After that we came back to the hostel ashamed of our failure. There was this black guy in the reception, so I asked him if he had some opener, and he said...no. He was on fb and he didn't appear to be interested in helping us, but I tried to explain him..

-You know, we wanted to open this, and we have a special style, we know this trick to open it with a shoe...but it does not work today. Could you give us at least a knife to open it???

-Ok

He came with us to the restaurant of the hostel and he discovered an opener, so he gave me...

-Cool, thanks so much dude...

I said so while opening the bottle, one turn, two...I pull the top and.................................................................................................................................................................................................

I had never seen such a huge wine fountain...no kidding, at least 1 meter high...the bottle was on the bar and there was a lot of stuff there, so I said...

-no No nO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

and I tried to solve it, how??? puting my finger on the bottle hole...HUGE MISTAKE!!!!!!!!!!!

I was spreading the wine on the walls, on the floor, on the tablecloths (the tables were already prepared for the next breakfast).

From that moment the guy didn't say any single word, we were so ashamed, you know, it was just awkward...

We said sorry like 5 or 6 times.

He started washing up all the dishes (I spread also wine on the dishes) and we tried to clean everything with napkins. When we finished I gave him this table cloth totally red and wet of wine...I didn't know what to say, so I told him...

-you know, if I were you I'd put salt on it, it is easier to clean it if you do so.

He didn't say a word, he was just starring at my eyes, so I added...

-My mother does it all the time when I spread wine on some clothes.

I think if that guy didn't kill me that night I will have a long life for sure =D =D

Then Stepan and I said sorry again and good bye...now, when I remember it, I'm almost laughing, but that moment was so awkward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To the point, if two stupid guys ruin your night with a wine fountain, just try to be nice, it is much better laughing with them than being angry...afterall the mess is not gonna dissapear, no matter how angry you get =D =D

To that guy, if you read this...sorry dude, I didn't mean it, we didn't know it was sparkling wine...=S...and BE HAPPY MY FRIEND, EVERYTHING SEEMS BETTER WITH A SMILE IN YOUR FACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More things about my life...well, I've been traveling a bit lately, and I've met many new people. I was in France and it was great, the firm I work for did this party and I was telling jokes (even in english)...it was so much fun =) =) =)

About this, I was a bit concerned because I think people does not take you serious when you are playing stupid all the time...after thinking on it a little bit I arrived to a conclusion...

I hope people will never take me serious, LIFE IS GREAT LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!

Well, enough shit for today...see you in next stories!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jaimito =D =D =D
