A Slightly Unconventional Thanksgiving (Trošku nekonvenční Den díkuvzdání)
http://czechfolks.com/2009/11/26/a-sligh
Today is Thanksgiving, a harvest festival celebrated in the United States and Canada. On this day people give thanks for the harvest. Even t...hough Thanksgiving is not celebrate in the Czech Republic or Slovakia, many Czechs and Slovaks express their gratitude while living in the USA and Canada or other democratic countries. For them, living in a free country brings with it more appreciation than just during this holiday. Many of them left the country, while it was still controlled by the Communist party and found their freedom far away from their homes, while risking their lives during their escapes. The article named “Giving Thanks for Freedom, Remembering the Czech Revolution” posted on the San Diego News Network by Marketa Hancova, the dean of education at Platt College, San Diego School of Art and Design, speaks just about that and more.

How Well do You Know the Czech Republic? & Sweepstakes Results (Jak dobře znáte Českou republiku a výsledky soutěže)
http://czechfolks.com/2009/11/25/how-wel
A couple of months ago we announced a new sweepstakes with ...one history question. We did not realize how many people would respond to this article. The question was either very easy or all of our readers know about the history of the Czech Republic. Since we wanted to be fair, we went through all the results and verified the CzechFolks.com membership. Then we had to put in a pool of hundreds of emails to select one winner that will receive a mug and a T-shirt of a choice from our partner ABC imports. We were so pleasantly surprised by the overwhelming response by our readership that we decided to select one more winner that will receive a T-shirt of a choice. ABC imports also wanted to thank to all the readers that answered our question for the sweepstakes. They all will receive a code to redeem $5 cash back on their purchase from the partner’s site. We hope to start a new drawing soon, thus stay tuned for our new postings. Here is the question that we asked with the correct answer:Question: Who was Charles IV?Answer: The king of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor.

Enjoy the Czech Hospitality of the Past (Vychutnejte si české pohostinství z minulosti)
http://czechfolks.com/2009/11/10/enjoy-t
Do you still remember going to Czech restaurants and pubs with tacky decorations, dirty walls, sticky tables or di...rty tablecloths with set in stains? The food from that era was very simple, maybe too oily or salty, but very cheap. In places like this you could find interesting people and an atmosphere that was much different form the one you may experience today. This week you can find a restaurant like this in Prague 3 called “U dvou Hrabalu” on Chelcicka Street. The restaurant was re-designed to show what Czech or even Slovak pubs used to look like in the eighties or maybe even earlier times. Until Sunday, the visitors have a chance to go back in time to re-live the past that may have already been forgotten.

s the recent surveys have shown, it was the med...ia and especially foreign radio broadcasts that had a major impact on sharing information with the Czech and Slovak population. This was confirmed by 86% of respondents in the research, which was done early in the autumn of this year by the staff from the Center for Public Opinion Research (part of the Institute of Sociology of the Cs.
