Alena & Anton's food and travel adventures
Pri nedavne navsteve Hongkongu jsme se vydali na jednodenni vylet do Macao, zvlastni administrativni oblasti na jihu Ciny. Jeste pred 20 lety spadalo Macao pod Portugalsko, coz dalo za vznik zajimave smesi kultur, kde domy zdobene portugalskymi kachlickami s cinskymi napisy nejsou nic zvlastniho. Vliv nekolika ruznych zemi je patricny i v mistni kuchyni. Na … Continue reading Asijske Las Vegas
Hong Thong je vyborny thajsky napoj, neco mezi whiskey a rumem. Taky se to rymuje s nazvem mesta Hongkong, kam jsme na tyden zavitali, abychom si odpocinuli od horka a hlahla protoze nas kamarad Stew tam vyrostl a zrovna byl po Vanocich doma, tak jsme za nim jeli na navstevu. Pridal se k nam jeste … Continue reading Hong Thong
When we were in Hong Kong we went on a day trip to Macau, a small autonomous region on the south coast of China. It used to be a Portuguese territory until 20 years ago which created an interesting cultural mix that is still visible throughout the city today. Houses decorated with Portuguese porcelain tiles … Continue reading Las Vegas of Asia
Hong Thong is a fantastic drink, something between whiskey and rum, produced in Thailand. Also, it rhymes with Hong Kong where we spent a week to take a little break from the heat and mainly to visit our friend Stew who grew up there. Another one of our friends, Gravs, flew over from the UK … Continue reading Hong Thong
Moji kolegove z prace jsou naprosto uzasni a i kdyz za pul roku budu zase zpatky v kanclu, jako darek na rozloucenou mi predali obalku s pranim a stedrym prispevkem na cesty. Vzhledem k tomu, ze Bungee Jumping z vyhlidkove veze v Macau je nehorazne predrazeny, rozhodla jsem se misto toho cast penez pouzit na … Continue reading Bahenni lazen se slony
The people I work with are absolute legends and they gave me some travel money as a (temporary) goodbye present, and because bungee off Macau Tower is way overpriced I've decided to use part of it on something else I've loved ever since I was a child - elephants! We spent a day at a … Continue reading Mudbath with elephants
V Kanchanaburi panuje uzasny klid, coz je pro nas vitana zmena po hektickem Bangkoku. Mesto lezi na zapade Thajska a je zname predevsim diky Mostu pres reku Kwai, ktery prosavil stejnojmenny roman a predevsim na nem zalozeny film oceneny nekolika Oscary (ktery my jsme porad jeste nevideli). Je zvlastni sledovat turisty, jak se usmivaji do … Continue reading Zeleznice smrti a tyrkysove vodopady
The town of Kanchanaburi is so very calm and peaceful, especially after manic Bangkok. The town lies in western Thailand and is mostly known for The Bridge over River Kwai, made famous by a movie of the same name (which we still haven't seen yet). Tourists taking happy selfies on the 'Death Railway' forms a … Continue reading The Death Railway and Erawan waterfalls
V Bangkoku bydli neco pres 8 milionu lidi, takze i kdyz se treba jen desetina z nich snazi dostat z mista A do mista B, na cestach jsou tisice a tisice aut, taxiku, tuk-tuku, autobusu a motorek a vsichni se snazi predjet jeden druheho. Pravidla dopravniho provozu jsou spise takova doporuceni, cervena na semaforu rozhodne … Continue reading Bangkok
