My Travel Adventures

I made plans to meet an old friend at the Hvězda Game Reserve, a popular park near the edge of Prague, which takes the name Hvězda (meaning “star”) after the star-shaped summer palace at its centre. I proposed the venue since I had never been to Hvězda before, despite the fact that the walls of the summer palace are a very familiar sight to anyone who commutes to Prague from the west.

This is my second week of taking French and Russian lessons, and I am already exhausted. In other news, my sister does not have coronavirus, unlike a thousand new people every day. The government has finally decided to take some action by ordering facemasks to be worn almost everywhere (with the notable exception of schools; really, it makes one wonder why we even bother), but it will probably take unbearably long until that policy will have any palpable effect. This Friday we had over 1400 cases.
