Festival of Embassies

For the past couple of years I have been making it a point to go to the Festival of Embassies. Its a great way to taste food from several different countries. Last year was the first time Amaya got to go and the weather wasn't the best. This year the weather was great. We wanted to go early to beat the rush, but it was already crowded before 10am. There were so many more people that the previous years! I saw several people I know at the festival. The craziest food that Leos and I tried were Mopani worms from Zimbabwe. Leos almost spit them out, but for some reason I was ok with it. Now I know I can do Fear Factor, haha! I thought the festival would be the only thing we did for the day, but my friend Lucie was in the city at another event. I haven't seen her since before Christmas, so I wanted to at least try and see her. We managed to go and it was nice to see her and the different cars on display. On the way home we stopped by Novy Smichov for some shopping and I saw a Dermacol stand doing some promotional stuff. I took a picture at their stand and got a free bottle of nail polish. The free things I got today were: vitamin drink, a kite for Amaya, Mopani worms, food from Qatar and a bottle of nail polish. Such a random group of things!

Lunch for 1czk and Ladies Night Out

I have been using the Taste Town app to discover different restaurants in the city and have saved a lot of money doing so. Sometimes the deals are REALLY crazy. For example, I was able to get 1czk matcha a few months ago and a lot of buy one get one free dishes at restaurants. However, the craziest deal I have come across was a large pizza from Pizza Hut for 1czk which is equivalent to $0.05!!!!! I was asked what size I wanted and if I wanted to pay by cash or card. I don't know how they do it, but I'm enjoying it! For lunch both Leos and I had the pizza and couldn't even finish it. We had to take it home. In the evening, I met up with a friend and her friends for a drink (non-alcoholic for me). It was so nice to be out in the evening twice this week!! We had a great time chatting and just hanging out. I look forward in doing it again!

Art Prague

At the last cooking class, Assem invited all of us to his exhibition that was happening at Art Prague. He told us to attend on the 1st for the VIP opening. I basically had two VIP events on the same day. First was with Amaya and then for the next event I needed to leave her at home with Leos. I didn't make plans to meet others from cooking club, but it was so great that they came and had cooking club represent! Unfortunately, we missed two others who came quite early and left because it was a bit too crowded. It was nice to be able to walk around and look at all the art. There were so many different styles. Klara Sedlo Studio had really nice art. My friend actually bought a print of her work. Since I am doing a lot for cooking club, there was one painting that really stood out of hers: the oven. It was so cute to see all the different typical Czech baked goods in the painting. The heart and love of the oven goes into each sweet that is baked. After the exhibition a few of us went for dinner. I was able to use the Taste Town app and get 1+1 for our meals. It was a great deal. I had a wonderfully busy VIP day!
