What are the traditions ? What do we eat for this event ? How is the new year ? If you want to know how spend Christmas in Germany, Spain, Wales, Australia or France, go to have a look in the hall of the public library of Rychnov nad Kneznou !

Have fun :) !

What are we doing during the weekend ?

Good question !

In fact, since we are in Czech Republic, we didn't stay alot of weekend in Rychnov because we are very curious and we want to discover a lot of regions, cities, countries...

So, here it's a little summary of our visits :

- Rakovice (a village in the south of Bohemia, at 1 hour in bus from Prague) where we made a "tamdjem project". Let's me explain : it's an organisation which propose to the persons who live in Czech Republic a volontary work. For example, this weekend, we were in a little castle and we had to prepare the castle for the winter, so we cut wood, we did some gardening and others stuff...

It was a good weekend but very exhausted, we learned how to cut the wood, it was very funny and we met others persons again...

- Brno : one weekend in Brno

We wanted to discover the secondbiggest city of Czech Republic and oberved the difference

with Prague. It was a very nice weekend where we met again the others volunteers. And, we had the feeling that Brno is a city which mix modern and old architecture but it seems to be a very young and cultural city !

- Krakow : one short weekend in Krakow with a car.. Very difficult to find the good way.. but we arrived in the good place !

We discovered a new country, with a new language and a new money again. It was very nice. The city was so beautiful, and there was so much things to see. We didn't have enough time to see all the monuments but we visited the old city and the castle. To je hezky !

We found another OKO in Plzem !!!!!!!!!! Amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!
