Čo si všímať na emailoch a SMS (Ako nenaletieť online)
Mám skúsenosti s rôznymi druhmi "zlodejov". Fyzickými aj virtuálnymi. No väčší problém mám práve s virtuálnymi, ich anonymitou a nemožnosťou ich chytiť. Priznám sa, nechápem týchto ľudí, a neviem, prečo to robia. Ale veľmi ma ich konanie hnevá. Chápem, že "chytrolíni", ktorí sa chcú rýchlo dostať k peniazom boli, sú a budú. Ale takto hnusne oberať ľudí o peniaze, je dosť nechutné. S fyzickými zlodejmi máme ako spoločnosť už dlhoročné skúsenosti, krádeže sa stále dejú, ale už nás toľko neprekvapujú, a naučili sme sa, ako byť obozretní, čo nerobiť, kadiaľ neísť, ako sa chrániť. Internetové podvody sú však pre mnohých ešte relatívne nové a nie každý má toľko znalostí a…
Poculi ste o Kwai?
Priznam sa, ze po “miestach”, kde boli preliate potoky krvi a umieralo tam mnozstvo ludi, sa mi tazko cestuje. Neviem sa ubranit pocitu, ze tu niekde treba najst hranicu medzi morbidnou a vzdelavaco-preventivnou turistikou, aj ked v podstate nic zle nevidno a dane miesto je krasne. Kanchanburi s riekou Kwai, cca 2 hodiny cesty od Bangkoku, mozno niekomu nic nepovie. Filmovi fanatici a knihomoli si vsak snad spomenu na knihu a rovnomenny film o udalostiach z druhej svetovej vojny v Azii – Most cez rieku Kwai. Pribehy v knihe a vo filme sa trosku odlisuju (navzajom od seba, ale aj od reality), ale oba v podstate popisuju tazku situaciu vojnovych…
Bangkok alebo Krung Thep Maha Nakhon
Bangkok je najvacsim mestom Thajskeho kralovstva a casto vstupnou branou pre turistov mieriacich do krajiny a dalej na piesocne plaze za oddychom. Tych “par” tisicov turistov, ktori mestom za den prejdu, by sa medzi viac ako 8 milionmi Thajcov celkom stratili, nebyt toho, ze sa vsetci vyberu obzriet tie iste pamiatky v rovnaky den a cas ako vy. Na tych miestach je fakt natresk a je na sikovnosti vas alebo vasho spolocnika, ci sprievodcu, aku trasu a taktiku zvolite. Z pamiatok naozaj odporucam nevynechat navstevu tychto – kralovsky palac (Royal palace), chramy Wat Arun a Wat Pho. Ak mate cas, vyberte si okrem toho, co vas zaujima. Mne sa pacil…

2022
Na sneh ostala uz len spomienka. Pri Silvestrovskych 11°C fyzika nepusti. 😉 V kazdom pripade mali posledne dni roka svoje caro. A pre ten dalsi rok vam prajem, nech vas kazdy den v roku 2022 obklopuje laska, harmonia, hojnost, mudrost a zazraky. 🎆 White snow is now, the last day of the 2021 only a memory. With 11°C outside temperature there no other way. 😉 Last days of the year had their charm. And for the next year, I wish you are surrounded with love, harmony, abundance, wisdom and miracles. 🎆
White Christmas – A Vianoce boli biele
This year, surprisingly, Christmas was white. 😊 My grandma was telling that already weeks in advance and I did not believe her. I don’t even remeber that much snowfall during the holiday season. In the past, even if it fell overnight, it melted quickly in the morning. This year it was different thanks to freezing temperatures. Tento rok boli Vianoce biele. Moja stara mama to predpovedala s tyzdnovym predstihom, no neverila som jej. Teraz sa jej ospravedlnujem. 😊 Ani si nepamatam, kedy boli naposledky sviatky biele. V minulosti, aj ked napadol v noci sneh, rano sa roztopil. No tentokrat to bolo inak. Snezilo viac dni a topit sa zacal az…
Festive season / Vianocne sviatky
It’s that time of the year again. Today, I woke up to snow covered country. Christmas is white! 😊 I wish you and your loved ones merry and joyful holidays. 🎄 Dnes rano som sa zobudila do krasneho bieleho dna. Konecne biele Vianoce! To tu uz dlho nebolo. 😊 Krasne a pohodove sviatky plne smiechu, stastia, zdravia, lasky a spokojnosti vam prajem. 🎄
Christmas spirit of 2021

Nature walks: Prechadzka Hradok- Javornicek
Pohodová prechádzka jarným v lesoch pod Inovcom, cieľ bol Chata pod Javorníčkom. Užite si výhľady na zeleň a na okolité kopce. A light and leisurely forest walk in the hill below Inovec, with destination Chata pod Javorníčkom. Enjoy the greenery and the views.

Zamyslenie nad vzájomnou pomocou a rebríčkami, kde nechcete byť
Neverim, ze ludom je to jedno. Neverim, ze osobne pohodlie je viac ako zivot cloveka. Neverim, ze cloveku v nudzi nikto nepoda pomocnu ruku. Dufam, ze ta spolupatricnost a ochota pomoct tu este stale je. Ze ju za ten cas frustracia nevytlacila.

Photos: Christmas markets in Vienna
Days before Christmas have their own charm. The atmosphere and the vibe at the Christmas market adds to it. This year again I ventured to Vienna and enjoyed a walk along the market at Rathausplatz, Maria Theresia Platz and Karlsplatz. And got a pair of "boots" cups. :-)
Slovakia: Skiing views from Solisko
Strbske pleso in High Tatras is my favourite destination all year round. Ski slopes above the lake in Solisko offers great views into the valley. As I am not a good skier, I prefer to get uphill and the sit in the sun enjoying the views. This area is very popular and tends to get overcrowded on the slopes. Next time, I will switch skis (downhill to cross country). And finish with a shot of Bombardino in the ski bar.
Slovakia: Tatranska Lomnica
High Tatras are a popular destination also for me. I love the areas around Strbske pleso, but Tatranska Lomnica with Lomnicky stit, ski slopes for beginner skiers, view points and chalets has its charm.
Slovakia: Bachledka ski resort and treetop viewpoint
Bachledova dolina (Bachledova valley) is a popular ski resort in the eastern Tatra mountains. When tired (like I was that day), the tree top view and walk point offers amazing views of both – the Slovak and the Polish mountains. The tree top walkway takes about 10 mins to reach a view tower. I was a bit hesitant stepping onto the net at the top. But the views were amazing and I set a reminder to myself – to return in the summer.
Photos: Winter, snow, frost…lovely
This post contains some of my best and favourite photos taken during winter 2018/2019. I love when it snows, I love looking at the white surroundings, trees, grass, frozen lake and also my car covered completely by it.
Switzerland: Fireworks everywhere / Ohňostroje
Swiss celebrated their national day on 1 August and finished the celebrations with fireworks and bonfires. I watched it from the french side of Lac Leman.
France: Jardin de 5 Sens, Yvoire
There is an interesting sensory garden in Yvoire - Garden of Five Senses. This project is on for already more than 30 years. It is full of flowers, herbs, trees and fountains built into several areas, each dedicated to one of five senses - Sight, Sound, Smell, Taste, and Touch.
France: Again in Yvoire
After a year I again returned to the medieval city of Yvoire on the coast of Lake Leman. This time I plan to visit places I did not get to last time, like Jardin de 5 Sens, Evian or nearby Chateaux.
