(November + December 2010) November So I came back a number on me (and probably remain so in the future :)...
I think it's time to blog somehow "close" in 2010. Given that, in the last two months the previous year they played quite a lot, so I'll try to be brief.
So I'll take it in turn.
first Tuesday of November (2 11) is traditionally held the famous Melbourne Cup horse race. Roma woman at the time of the race just squatting in school, so I myself went to one of the pubs Pyrmontských suck a bit of racing atmosphere. All pubs were crammed to bursting, so somewhere to push a small miracle. Finally I succeeded, so I enjoyed the race with a glass of beer in his hand. As so often, the winner of the previous year traditionally won and I think that even the favorite in total disappointment. Compared to last year
when we were watching the melt at 40 degrees were significantly different weather - rainy and quite cold.

mobile terminals bookmakers had that day on the busy
gray weather on Sunday 7 11th I went to the nearby Technical Museum (Powerhouse Museum
) look at the exhibition entitled "Trainspotting", which ended Sunday ONU. As the name suggests, the exhibition covered the train, specifically the international photographic competition (photos HERE
). Very quickly, I ran the other exhibits at the museum and I have to admit that they like to show there again. Technical Museum has several floors so it is simultaneously exposed multiple exposures, which are supplemented with videos and audio commentary. If there is one issue, so it is definitely not one hour visit. For little money (10 AUD) a lot of music ... Visit definitely worth it (and not just because there are air conditioning:).

When I returned from the museum and the house was going to smaller Korean BBQ, so I could not resist the invitation. Instead of James and Naomi, who took leave on the Gold Coast with us, ate and drank with Chloe Johan, who are our frequent guests.

everyone points the finger "V" (V For Vojta .-): D
In Roma woman week after celebrating his second birthday at the Antipodes, but compared to last year
was again slightly different weather conditions. Last year we were rolling around on Bondi Beach and this year we are pretty wet when we went into town for coffee and cake.
The next weekend was an exhibition of Sculpture by the Sea and also birthday celebration, which Romani woman wrote last.
December December 8 celebrated the birthday of my friend Masks (named Margaret, but when you tell her so, so you can punch:), is attended by DnB party. As a place of celebration chose Prague Czech restaurant, located in the district of Kings Cross. That night, I say, after more than a year to quench their thirst lips the draft Czech beer and bite to a typical Czech goulash with dumplings. On the other hand, but I was disappointed because I was looking forward tapped in Pilsen, which unfortunately there is not. Moreover, four kinds of draft beers were only two (Bernard Branik), which also was not exactly the best card. Despite these small little things but in the evening clearly a success.
Regarding prices, the restaurant is not just the cheapest - the standard waiting food (stew, sirloin, fillet) slightly over $ 20 and the draft pint of beer for about 6 dollars, which is not so bad. On the other hand, it is but one unique because the Czech restaurant located in Sydney, only four (I think).

Photography knedlíkového signal On Saturday 11 12th held corporate Christmas party at the Metropolitan Hotel, located in the city center. The company has leased the hotel roof, so we drank the "fresh" city air and gritty was prepared as a karaoke it. Among the boldest surprisingly, the French were our boss Patricia and her husband John (her voice sounds in my ears today: D). At the party we met with other Czechs and Slovaks, who sweep brooms and mops as well as we do. The company paid a barrel of beer, which, as shown enough over time, so we are feeding them later on behalf of companies from the bottle. How different types of gradually petered out bottled beers, we had the opportunity to taste about six kinds of different beers (Italian, Irish ...). It is worth mentioning the so-called cider, which is a sweet beer made from cider. Definitely not for everyone treats, but I liked this kind of total and Roma woman also did not seem that she would not like:). Entertainment was a humble - so-called meat pies (meat pies), which are cookies puff pastry filled with meat, cheese, etc. I think that with some cookies in the Czech Republic have all failed too, but here is a regular meal ...
our roof was so high ...

ve víru karaoke V neděli jsem se vypravil navštívit jednoho známého, který bydlí poblíž čtvrtě Manly, so I could neobhlédnout second most famous beach in Sydney - Manly Beach. The Manly is the shortest path to the city by water, so the way back I drove for a long time to ship.

Given that James and Naomi going to spend Christmas in Newcastle with James' parents, so we have done before they leave a small house party with Korean cuisine and Australian beer:). Invited to a few other people, so it was pretty crowded:). Party later moved to the city on the Korean karaoke, which I unfortunately could not attend because I woke up the next day to work, so maybe next time:).

that evening was a lot of strange photos)
"V" as Vojta ... :)
Christmas day itself We stayed in an apartment with Andres and Andrea, Colombians, who were previous to the Christmas party with us. Each of the parties prepare a dish, traditional in his country, so this year's Christmas tableau was somewhat varied. We are the Romani woman was livened it bottled Pilsen and Budvar). The party itself, but marked by a rather weary spirit, which was caused by the awful music ucajdanou dostavující and perhaps they are tired because we both Roma woman with the same working day, so prior to getting up early ...
In Colombia, a typical dinner before midnight and midnight to begin to unwrap the gifts. Unpacking itself is also somewhat different now, because we always read the person is a gift intended by who is then followed by thanking, hugging and things like that, making the process horribly stretched. After unpacking a few people started to fall asleep, so we went home early total. Christmas Eve was not bad, but compared to a wild party in the last year it was "a little" contrast.

Australians celebrate Christmas is the twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth off. Both came out on the weekend days, so it automatically means that the two free days moved to next Monday and Tuesday. As James says - Australians are lazy, and certainly does not equip them to leave:). Too bad it does not work like in other regions ...
Unlike last year, I worked for the New Year, so I was New Year's Eve (the word for New Year's Eve) to celebrate a little more modestly less than the previous one. In one of the DnB party, which now invariably involved, I won tickets to
peats ridge festival , a three-day festival held in the valley Glenworthy Valley, located north of Sydney and is located about two hours by train. To my misfortune, but the festival began on Wednesday and I've worked all week until Friday, so accelerating the last night ever on Friday afternoon did not make much sense. Tickets included 600AUD (approx. per 10tis CZK) so I donated. The Harbour Bridge is famous fireworks display was held again, but thanks to my hysteria prevailing in the city since early morning nelákal too. Finally I went one smaller party in Perry Park near Green Square. Stage Three of electronic production was definitely more enjoyable than sitting at home on the pr ... as it did the year before. Given that the event was not just "nejlegálnější" and was probably about two hours police released:), so I compared the original plan so neponocoval and went home relatively early. Roma woman spent New Year's Eve in Darling Harbour fireworks with Carol. The Darling was prepared for the evening program with performances by several bands, etc.
Happy New Year ...
everyone would like to know how to play:) So this is how we ended the year 2010, which evolved from the very beginning quite interesting. Given that we did not take any trips outside of Sydney and in the final I did not I did not deliver the Festival said, so 2010 was a year spent only in Sydney, which is especially for me as Pacholka from tractors, fields, meadows and forests unprecedented:).
weather: for the second week they love us here something that is not unlike the autumn. Gray morning, the day was cloudy and sometimes rain. On our tastes a little early ... Especially after the week that preceded and temperatures were around 40 degrees.
