Sports Day at Malaysian Embassy (Prague, CZ)

My Malaysian friend invited me to join her along with another friend for a sports day celebration at the Malaysian embassy.  I didn't really know what the event was about, she just told me that I needed to wear sports clothes.  Upon arrival to the embassy we all got a free Malaysia hat, which was really nice.  Then we had to wait for the others to arrive.  The ambassador gave a speech about the day and then we started the events.  First we all did some stretches and then some Bollywood dance moves.  It was a fun way to start the day.  Then we had to break into our teams.  I was team captain for my team, Juara (Champion in Malay).  The first competition was an egg toss with towels.  My team didn't do that well.  Then we had coconut bowling, which was quite difficult but my team did the best in this event, thanks to some great bowlers on my team.  Then we had a water race.  Some teams cheated a lot, but it was still a lot of fun.  The last activity of the day was musical chairs.  After all the activities they announced the winners of the day.  My team got second place.  I was quite happy with our result considering the fact that we got last place in the first event we did.  All my teammates were nice and we all had a fun time.  We shared our winnings and then it was lunch time.  The food was delicious!!  With our bellies full and a beautiful day in front of us, my friends and I decided to go to Letna.  One of my friends had a friend in town, so he joined us at the park.  Then we all went to Wallenstine Garden.  It was a wonderful way to spend a gorgeous Saturday.  Nice meeting everyone!

Mushroom Picking (CZ)

I happen to be looking at the Cooking Club page and saw that people were going to go Mushroom Hunting in the forest next to my village.  I didn't have much time to join, but since they were going to be in the area I decided to join for a little bit.  There weren't that many mushrooms, but I got to see a couple mushrooms that I had never seen before and learned about which ones were edible and which ones weren't.  I was happy because I just had to walk 20-25 min to join.  I only found one edible one that I took home and had for lunch.  It was a nice first half of the afternoon.  Hopefully more people will come towards my way and will want to join more walks in the forest.  Hope everyone was safe with their mushrooms!!
