Holiday Experience in Venice
08.13.08 (11:50 am)   [edit]
When I was a small girl I had a dream that I was in a boat in the river and in the city at the same time. I wondered how that can be. I didn't know then that such city as Venice exists. I remember the feeling of admiration in my dream. The monuments, the buildings, the people, and the bridges - everything was beautiful there. And last summer I visited Venice in reality. That was an unforgettable experience. Immediately I remembered my dream and the strange thing was that I knew the city, the position of many sights. But now I've known their names the Grand Canal, Rialto Bridge, the Mark's square and others. Even the position of the apartment in Venice that I rented was familiar to me. And in reality I was marvelled again by the charm of Venice, its narrow streets, elegant buildings, beautiful gondolas. So Venice became the city of my dream in all meanings.
 
A Visit to Terezin, Czechia
08.13.08 (11:27 am)   [edit]
I have just come from holidays in Czechia. I went to a nice place that once was a Nazi concentration camp during World War II. I speak about Terezin. There I visited the Ghetto Museum and a Small Fortress where many of Jews who lived in Czech Republic at that time were killed. However this city is also known as a good place for hiking. In the local forest there are many good hiking trails that are marked. So, it is impossible to get lost there. I liked my walks in the forest a lot. One more thing I liked about the city a lot was its wonderful biking trails. The Czechs pay much attention to sports and if someone wishes to practice sports there, he is always welcome. So, a couple of times I biked along the river Eger on which the city stands. In Terezin I rented a nice apartment that I shared with two of my friends. To rent an apartment in Czechia this way is always cheaper than to stay at a hotel. Besides, when you rent an apartment, you are always your own master while in the hotel you always should follow their rules. So hotels are not my cup of tea.
