Few days ago when for a second year i was stuck alone during holidays i contemplated importance of so called birth of Christ celebration. In my country even it being not catholic at all it's still a thing. But in my family it's kinda sad since my grandfather died (it was beginning of november) and we were only three left. It took a toll on my grandma and maybe because of that i'm kinda happy i don't have to spend it talking about a past. Even me myself being more realist/pessimist than optimist, i prefer talking and thinking about future, not past. Probably that's the reason i don't really enjoy company of avid travelers. Most of the time they are able to talk only about their past travels and don't even have sense of time. Few days ago i was spending evening with my friends and one of them spend 3 hours talking about his trip over the pound. It was interesting only for about half and hour and later i started thinking that maybe guy has not much happy moments now as he talks only what he already did/saw.
The only past moments i like to think about is my childhood as it was really happy times. Nowadays kids grow up dumb as they have mobile phones since early childhood (sometimes even in kindergarten), facebook and other social networks and don't communicate much eye to eye. In my country it's kinda hiding from existing issues in everyday life. Since Czech republic is kids adapted, i hope here is better. People in the streets are actually smiling.
Now i have few days of holidays and since my plan to go to Wroclaw didn't come to existence, i decided to spend it doing day trips around Czech republic and get to know country better. This month is kinda perfect for that - almost like as compensation for last year with freezing cold and snow till end of april, this december is really warm and temperature never went below zero. There's even green fields around despite now being almost middle of winter.
The only period i experienced which was close to winter was when i was to my home country when it was white and snowy and cold for almost a week. But cold in Lithuania is very different from one there. I used to spend lots of winters hiking even during night at around - 20C and it wasn't cold because air is quite dry and if dressed properly one simply doesn't mind the weather. There it goes to -2C and only thing is one's mind is to hug radiator and don't leave home. Surprisingly for some people Czech republic is humid country even not having sea or other proper water pounds. I guess humidity comes from evergreen forests and hills. But now it feels like really warm autumn.
