Great, great, great weekend (Sat, July 25th & Sun, July 26th) at lake Barbora, near Teplice. It is like 1,5h from Prague. The only thing I wish it was less rain and more sun... Photo report.

On Saturday, 4th July I have obrained a 5th kyu in aikido, after passing the exam in Plzen.

On Sun, 5th and Mon, 6th been in Karlovy Vary at the international film festival. As more people coming each year, the harder it becomes to get to any movies... I have seen only one by a luck/chance... so no personal rating of good movies. It was also being raining on Mon, so even relaxed walking along the streets was not really an option.

Good street food by the Hotel Thermal, feeding ducks in local park, and sun basing at the swimming pool are the special memories.

Photos from event.
A friend of a friend of a friend came to Prague. We did some intense walking another evening. Here are few photos taken at the Kampa modern art museum.
Great music concert at Obecni dum. Japanese music/songs sounds in photos/videos.
Got a gift of a wild cherries. Tried to make a jam of it. Even my flatmate Francesco had a skype talk with his mam in Italy just to get the recepie... We started to make it, yet it was too late and we could not safe "the patient" by the morning it become wine smelling cherry and not looking well enough for jam... I guess the option now is to buy a cherry jam at the local store. In photos.
Sad, when friends are leaving country. Yet in the hearts we all wishing them luck and best in their new relocated life. Good luck to Angela and Brandon. Photos from farewell here.

I have also promised to download and listen audio cast from Brandon's 1st internet project as expert speaker - http://betterconferencecalls.com
Music celebration at French Institute in Prague. Concert of French band - Red Cardell. Great musicians. I have even noticed few elements of Ukrainian folk music and songs. They mentioned, that they had few recordings together with Ukrainian band "Voply Vidoplyasova". Photos and videos from concert here.

Been to the vernisage at the gallery - FotoGrafic.cz. Great location - hidden perl of downtown. Photos were good in concept, yet I personally felt that due too much of photoshop mutation of the original photos the human connection between viewer and photo was minimized as well.
The vernisage was accompanied with the great lounge music by DJ Filip (Tyc), from Radio 1, Prague. And tunes of Jose Gonzales - made me search and find this colorful and 'want to hear' advertisement:
