On the Cross
More theatre and other forms of art in Eindhoven. Today we visited Bazar Bizarre, where actors, designers, musicians and stylists from within and outside TAC (“Temporary Art Center”) were displaying their work in an unusual way.To be quite honest, I found it all a bit messy, but we did get to experience a lot of [...]
Kolik jazyků znáš, tolikrát jsi člověkem
No, I haven’t been to a Czech restaurant, not yet. That will be in a couple of months from now. But I am preparing myself for it. Whenever I visit a foreign country, I always learn the language of that country. I have to keep up this good habit, otherwise “my reputation would be at [...]

Trappist Beer

Eindhoven Culinair
Today there was an event in the city park: “Eindhoven Culinair” That sounds like good food and the whether was nice, so we decided to go there. At the entrance we could buy “Lempkes” (“Light bulbies”), that were used instead of money here. But how many should you buy? We had no idea! We bought [...]
