Ice Skating for Great Table (JTBC, South Korea)

Today was a great day for ice skating.  There were blue skies and the morning was just beautiful.  I was interviewed by a Korean tv program called Great Table.  I had my interview in Czech, so that's going to be hilarious to watch. The program should come out next month. The interviewer and cameraman were really nice.  We had a fun time even though it was so short.   I was so happy that there were only teenage girls on the ice because if there were any boys on the ice, it would've been a bit hectic.  Jay, I'm so sorry that I didn't check the photo better to see that your eyes were closed.  We'll have to take another picture in the summer!  It was great meeting you two.  Hope to see you again!   After ice skating, Leos and I went for lunch in the center because I worked up an appetite.

First Real Snow in Prague

It was so nice to FINALLY see Praha under some snow.  It wasn't that much, but it still made the park areas look nice.  A few days later all the snow melted, so I am happy that I went on a nice walk when it was white outside.  

                                         we went to a pop-up book/card display in the center

New Years Eve and Day

For New Years Eve we decided to just have a relaxed one and stay home.  We made open sandwiches and had our prosecco and were just fine.  There were so many signs and announcements throughout Prague saying that fireworks were illegal for the New Years celebration.  Those rules didn't come into effect at all.  We were actually able to see fireworks from the comfort of our apartment.  On New Years Day we went for a nice walk around the city.  The sunset was amazing at night.  The colors in the sky were great.  It was a nice new start for the New Year.  I wish everyone good health and happiness for the New Year!  I can't wait  to see what 2025 has in store for me. 

Frosty Day

There hasn't been any snow to stick on the ground in Prague, but there was a day of frost.  So many plants had frost on them and it looked quite beautiful.  Leos and I walked to the center to get some Korean food.  We were lucky to get a table because we didn't have a reservation and it was quite crowded.  The food tasted great and it was a pretty good deal because I got another Slevomat voucher.  We walked a bit more around the center and then headed back home.  We got off at a stop past our usual one to walk even more.  I am happy we did that because I got to see a lot more plants under the frost.  I really wanted to see a flower under the frost and I finally saw a mini rose.  It was quite beautiful. 

                                                                    delicious Korean food
