Caption: Dear Emily,
On my overnight train from Amsterdam to Prague, I met Veronika and Antonin. They were nice couple, and shared me their stories about Prague.
And here I am retelling it to you:

Picture
Caption: ~Veronika~ “You will see a lot of sad faces in Czech. It’s something to do with the old communism, something to do with the history that took away the smile, leaving the grim to all people.

Caption: "It’s probably going to pass after some generations and I don’t want my children to be like that. That’s why I want to travel with them all around the world – probably when they are bigger – to make them see how the things are going in another countries."
Picture
Picture
Caption: "I want to work. It kills me for not working. Before I was a social worker in Prague and now sometimes I analyze the children behavior and give feedbacks to the Moms on how to improve their children development eventhough I'm not really doing good with my children. (chuckle)"

Caption: "In our country, the children are forced to learn the same thing for 8 years, and then they can choose whether they want to get into engineering, gymnast, or art school. We hope our Montesorri school that we've founded will give a refreshment to the education atmosphere, and something that our children will look forward to every day."
Picture
Caption: ANTONIN
Picture
Caption: ~ANTONIN~ “I was living in Prague for 26 years before I married her and moved to her hometown in Jihlava. I liked it better: no traffic, no trash, no crowd, it’s just a small and peaceful city. I still miss Prague sometimes.

Caption: "It’s good (living in Jihlava) because everybody knows everybody but I don’t really see myself live there forever. I want to move to another countries and have my children to experience the life there. Probably for some years and then we’ll decide again to move fo another countries or going back to Prague.”

Caption: "You wear contact lenses? The inventor was actually a Czech. In the ideal west life, he should've been rich with all those patents and stuffs. But the government took the money prize and he received none. They even sell the patents to some other companies.
That's why I hate communism."
Picture
Caption: “My company have the branches in Malaysia and Beijing, I can probably find the job opportunities and get transferred there.
But even when I am working in the automotive company but our cars are twenty years old already.” (chuckle)
