http://czechbeginnersguide.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Czech: a Beginner's Guide. Saturday, December 31, 2011. Just in case you haven't noticed, I've added a couple more Links to the (where else) Links page. These include a site I found that includes online exercises. To practise vocab and Grammar. There are also a couple of dictionaries and a few other more general language sites. Remember: keep checking it out as I regularly update it! And of course, if you find something interesting send me a link and I'll stick it up! From varianty.cz. It. Word of the day.

Closely Observed Train Stations: Kobylisy
http://closelyobservedtrainstations.blogspot.com/2009/10/kobylisy.html
Friday, 9 October 2009. I met G. on the platform. We were going to walk her Grandmother's dog together. This is not a typical weekly ritual. Not for me anyway. I'm here because I've got some time to kill and Babi's place is near the metro station, so it seemed a fitting moment to reboot the blog. Incidentally, Čert took us in a counter-clockwise direction. If he had hands, his right would be the dominant one. Closely Observed Train Stations. Dogs in the Czech Republic. Take care when naming pets! Five Ye...

Closely Observed Train Stations: Nové Butovice --> Hůrka
http://closelyobservedtrainstations.blogspot.com/2009/03/nove-butovice-hurka.html
Saturday, 28 March 2009. Nové Butovice - Hůrka. People are queuing outside the station. I don't think I can stay too long before I attract attention. I circle round once. In the distance a barren fields walls in the area. I grab a pear from the fruit stand and head to the other side of the station. I assume there will not be much to see today. The worm passes over a park with small lake. It's noisier here. Mostly kids' and dogs' names and the occasional siren. A Great Dane passes me. Its ...Sgt Hůrka won...

Closely Observed Train Stations: Hloubětín
http://closelyobservedtrainstations.blogspot.com/2010/03/hloubetin.html
Tuesday, 9 March 2010. Though I've been curious about this station since I first saw it many years ago, I never succumbed enough to check it out over the years. The name has been the main reason. The names of most other stations are self-evident. This one is more impenetrable. The Czechs call this type of cold "kosa", which means scythe. Today, it's obvious to see why. The wind is slicing me to the bone. It's also going to trim today's post. I'm not sure how long I can stand to be outside. Through the se...

Closely Observed Train Stations: January 2010
http://closelyobservedtrainstations.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 20 January 2010. I've got a letter to post. It's been sitting in my bag since before Christmas and it really should've been sent already. One of my colleagues said the nearest post office is near Pankrác and since I haven't done Pankrác I thought how convenient. Except I don't know where the post office is. The post office is off the block with the train station but I'm going to bend the rules since I don't think I've written about visiting a post office. I mentioned the GPO once. The other re...

Closely Observed Train Stations: September 2010
http://closelyobservedtrainstations.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, 2 September 2010. Hard to believe but after almost two years, it's over. My adventures around Prague's metro stations has come to an end. I reflected on this more last week and don't wish to rehash the recent past, especially when this stop proves to be one of the most interesting I've visited. Turn out to be quite large with a few kilometres of trails running through them. Today there were no such encounters. There were people picking mushrooms and I even stopped to have a look seeing as I...

Closely Observed Train Stations: December 2009
http://closelyobservedtrainstations.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 8 December 2009. Hlavní nádraží Part Two. It's impossible to write about hlavní nádraží, or hlavák as the Praguers call it, without mentioning the people. The station is a confluence of visitors and locals, the transient and regulars, though who is who is usually a matter of perspective. Closely Observed Train Stations. Links to this post.

Closely Observed Train Stations: April 2010
http://closelyobservedtrainstations.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Friday, 2 April 2010. NB This was written on 23rd March but I didn't have time to post until now.]. As a break with standard practice, I'm going to start as we pass through Střížkov. Which is two stops before Letňany. The newness of this station along with the next two makes me feel like I'm leaving the real world and entering a life-size model. It makes it hard to separate the stations from each other. We pass through Prosek. The rhyme goes like this:. Tři sta třicet tři. Tři sta třicet tři. Karel Pl...
