Holika Dahan (6. 3. 2015)

Aneb slavíme indický svátek v Rusku. Moje spolubydlící je z Indie (jak už jsem zmiňovala někdy dřív) a v Indii se dnes slavil svátek Holi – Festival of colours, Holika Dahan. V podstatě jde o oslavu příchodu jara a konce zimy. Vinanthi mi říkala, že v Indii na sebe lidé vylévají barvy, blbnou na ulicích a oslavují. Jelikož tady v Tomsku je pořád zima, tak jsme tenhle svátek slavili vevnitř a bez barev – prostě jsme se sešli na bytě u jednoho Inda, který tu bydlí už pár let a jeho manželka je z Ruska na indickou večeři, teda kvůli mně to udělali málo „spicy“, abych celou večeři neprobrečela. Na předkrm jsme měli „americké brambory“ a čatní z rajčat, nebo z koriandru. Pak přišel hlavní chod – rýže s fazolemi a tofu (asi). A nakonec – pistáciová zmrzlina. Celá večeře byla strašně dobrá, a jelikož jsem narazila v omáčce jen na jednu chilli papričku, tak jsem ani nebrečela J Já na to pálivý fakt nemám buňky…

Hlavní chod.
 Na koleji jsme pak ještě potkali Ríšu a Matěje, kteří zrovna mířili se svým novým spolubydlícím (z Mosambiku) do hospody, ale jak řekl Kiran – musíme se nachystat na zítřek, takže jsem šla radši taky spát.

Já a Vinanthi.

Twilight Rabbit Hole

Sometimes, I fall into rabbit holes and I end up finding out information I want to share with others, so these days, I usually bother my friends and family with random stuff. I guess if I had enough time, I would create videos for TikTok, YouTube, or Instagram, but editing videos takes so long that writing is faster and easier (for me 😅). Today's rabbit hole is not that deep. It is mostly about the Twilight series, Mormons and fantasy literature. Firstly, did you know that Twilight's author Stephanie Meyer is part of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons)? It explains so much! Why do you think Edward and Bella have such a pure, clean relationship while dating but become so passionate after marriage? Also, none of the good characters drink alcohol or indulge in profanity or other vices. In this context, the next fact is hilarious for me. Did you know that Fifty Shades of Grey was originally written as fanfiction of Twilight 😂 E.L. James wrote Mast...

Shady bussiness in Daejeon

I hate buying new things. I love repairing stuff, especially electronics or clothes. But I am horrible at repairing electronics, so I always ask my brothers and sister for help which is a little bit more difficult now, since I live in Korea and they live in the Czech Republic. Still, we try. In August this year, my phone's earphone suddenly stopped working properly. I ordered some new parts from Aliexpress and the same week I replaced it (which didn't help, it was probably a software problem) I crashed the display. Like how stupid you have to be, to just put your phone in a bicycle's basket, and then you're very surprised when your phone literally flies away? Well, I am exactly that stupid 😂 So, I ordered a new display from Aliexpress, but it came kind of broken - one chip was not connected and I didn't manage to connect it successfully. I mean, very delicate precise handwork was never my forte. There's a reason why I didn't become a dentist or surgeon, but...

So this is Christmas...

Well, I wrote this article like one month ago, but than January TOPIK, exams and coronavirus happened, so I didn't finish it. You have my sincere apologies. I will try to write more (maybe shorter stories), so all of you know what's happenning in my life 😁 My first Christmas outside of the Czech Republic and without my family. It was a challenge. But fortunately I have many foreign friends here in Korea who were in the same situation as me, so we managed to do some Christmas events. Because all of was wanted to feel more Christmas mood. The thing is that Koreans celebrate Christmas, but not nearly as much as in Europe, Africa, or America where Christmas are one of the greatest holidays for most people. So you don't see many decorations (especially if you live in a similar isolated place as us), you rarely hear any Christmas songs and there's only one Holiday during Christmas in South Korea - the 25th December. With my Latin friends (we call ourselves 우리 가족 = our fa...
