Yesterday, I have decided to become a more positive person! And to learn a bit more of English grammar.

I have a reason for that. English people keep correcting my stuff, and whatever I write, they don't like. And while I keep telling them that they cannot change me into a native speaker, because this has been decided quite some time ago, I can certainly improve my writings skill. So I will at least try, because them re-drafting everything just makes me mad.

(I have already started to work on my use of articles (a, the). I have discovered a simple rule: just put them anywhere you can, even if it feels that they should not be there. Just do it, don't question. English people are usually happy with the outcome.)

Apart from English language problems, we have still a problem with beer. Mostly, English people drink either ale (which I find awful, because it is sour), or IPA (which is in my opinion not much better). And to add to the horrible taste, ales and IPAs are served warm. Duuuh! As an alternative, each pub usually sells at least one lager - which is usually either local stuff (= nearly tasteless stuff which is served far too cold), or Heineken (weak, tasteless, and again served a bit too cold).

Therefore, we had to try almost immediately when we've found a pub with draft Kozel. I was a bit worried that this would be Kozel, English style (= could be better, to put it in English way). Yesterday, we gave it a go. It was not bad. I've had better, but considering local habits of drinking beer warm & gasless, it was excellent.

It rains all the time now, and the city is awfully full of people, because Christmas is approaching. Therefore the Christmas markets are kinda nightmare now. Luckily, English people are in general good people, so no one is trying to steal your wallet. (In Prague, your stuff would be stolen in ca 5 pikoseconds, especially in such a gathering of people.)

Speaking of  Christmas, there is one very funny thing we have also discovered yesterday. Christmas service of the public transport!

In Prague, the public transport during the Christmas festive season is usually very funny, trams and buses go maybe every 30 min - but at least there are some trams and buses! Yesterday, my husband picked a TFGM leaflet, which informed us about the Christmas services. It will be more or less like this:
- 24 December: buses run until 6 pm, then no service;
- 25 December: no buses (!!!!!);
- 26 to 30 December: holiday/Sunday schedules, with some services cancelled, some replaced by some other services, etc.;
- 31 December: no buses between 6 pm and 11 pm, then there will be (hopefully) something.

Trams have a very similar schedule, with no trams on 25 December. (Really. No trams. Just like that.)

Well, this is a joke, isn't it?
