A nice video, Andrea. 👍 But let's say, this was a "rich" experience of the cottage (chata) culture of the Czech Republic - a Praguer one 😉. Firstly I'll explain you the difference between a chata and a chalupa: A chata is a housing which was built especially for the reason to spend time somewhere in the landscape. A chalupa is a former agricultural residence which had been used for living and working, but since the people changed their occupation there are used for the free time. Secondly I have to say you that further from Prague you would in a chata realize a bit other life - like the need to get up and bring water from the spring, you wouldn't walk at the road side but somewhere through forest and so on. Y'know, I live in the Moravian Karst - one of the most beautiful regions in the Czech Republic - and I would haul you over mountains and stones into a cave where the food would be done and the drinks get rare. And so on... 🙂
Nice video. Personal view on Czech "chalupy" I am child of 90s - When I was young I spent most of my summer time on "chalupa" with one grandparents and then on second "chalupa" with second grandparents... but from my teenage years when I started to travel (and I travel a lot around whole Europe)... so thanks to that I didnt aprecitiate a "chalupa" as much as my parents and I dindt understand it... till KungFlu shut down boarders and we suppose to stay home... at that time I fell in love one more time with our "chalupa" :) - and from now I understand that it was just way how to be free during comunist time
Exactly. Nobody could have the big house with the garden in the city so the chalupa helped them. And after this COVID mess I guess we all appreciate our chalupas much more ☺️
I hated it when I was kid and I had to be on chata with grandparents half of summer. Nearest shop is 5km, there is just nothing, only fields, not even running water. Today I would like to have my own chata, but unfortunately chata of our grandparents is in terrible condition because they did nothing there in last 30 years and they probably sell that, that's sad. I wanted repair many things there in last 10 or 15 years, but they will not allow that, even when I pay it because "we will die soon, it's wasting of money" so it's falling now and I am not sure if I want it in such condition. I don't understand why some old people think world will end when they leave. But you are probably not interested in my personal problems. :-D
@@Pidalin If its still owned by your family, you will be in much better possition by fixing your old chata, than buying a "new" one. Cost of repairs is never as high as initial purchase of chata in reasonable state. More over, its usually serviceable even with just initial repairs and it will give you roof over your head. And you can never replace the memories. I also had to make my way, beat the table and state that I would fix the roof on our chata.
@@kibicz I agree, but I can't do anything with that. I fixed door there when I was 12, and it still works, there are really memories. :-D But when my grandma sell it, I can't do anything, I don't want to force her give it to me. But we are poor family and own something is really something for me, I was sad when my family was selling everything since 90s and we have nothing now, no money, no house, just nothing. We had more cottages, nice huge house in southern Bohemia etc...and family prefered fast money over future, I am always sad about that. If I had house, I would never sell it because it's future of me and my family, you can have small old house, but it's yours, I don't understand why they sold everything and money disapeared in few years for bullshits.
@@Pidalin Well, time to stop the wheel. btw: My grand-grand father had to sell his house during the war and start to hide from Germans. When he was about to finally use the money and buy new house in Prague, it was 1953.. all the money for house were suddenly only good for one grocery shopping..
Andrea, you went for a walk and not a hike ;) In my opinion, you have to make at least 500 meters elevation difference to call it a hike. Everything else is just a walk :)
Agreed! And not. I lived in Florida and we would go “hiking” on flat. Since there were not mountains. The moment the terrain gets tough is hiking for me. I think the proper term is trailing. Something like that
I've never been this early before! Just wanted to say that I love your channel, and honestly, I love most of the foreigners coming here to Czechia. It always reminds me of the nice things we actually have here and forget of. Sending love from Brno!
Andreo :))!! Kotash or Kotich ??.. All good just noticed ;-). It looks like somewhere around Nova Paka area.. we had a concert over there ages ago and... BTW better hang over tucker is your choice Klobasa!!! Langose are not bad but.. Good work guys, cheers for your sharing to remind me mine country.
Kal... As I would say “world is small, therefore there are many interesting coincidencies...” For instance our family used to have a cottage (chalupa) at Uhlire near Lazne Belohrad and it is like just over the hill from Kal village and that icecream place we also used to visit rather often... cheers and enjoy... 🤓🖖
there is a difference between "chata" and "chalupa", but I have funny (I think, so probably not :D ) drunk memories with my friends from both of these :D but anyway, when I saw that dog, I remembered my friend's german shepherd: we got REALLY drunk at a "chalupa" and in the morning when she saw I was moving she almost licked my face off :D I know it doesn't sound funny now, but when some of my friends were afraid of her and she was trying to lick my face up to soberness... I was laughing like an idiot :D
Hello Andrea :) I love your videos.. just one thing.. the word cottage is pronounced like this [ˈkɒtɪdʒ] . Your pronunciation of the word is also amazing, sound a bit French :D :D There is a link where you can hear the right pronunciation slovnik.seznam.cz/preklad/anglicky_cesky/cottage. Otherwise a perfect video about Czech weekends. You seemed a bit sad though... All the best to you!! :)
Mmm no idea we don’t use that word in my side of the world. We would call it cabin or a farm house or a house in the town 😂 is like village. We would say town never village
"Kal" in a slang means : "Enjoy yourself and party !!! " smthng like that .. But the world sounds the same only in imperative.. As the only form of speech .. Which basically commands you to do so .. in any other speech manner it would be a different form... Not from Prague so idk.. but Im Czech for sure .. in it's core it's not directory connected to drinking .. Langueage wise it means : "Sediment" .. "Kal" .. As a noun .
Ofcourse you are bringing your Icemachine, lol :D Would you believe that 90% of czechs dont have their own icemachine and probably even dont know how it looks like? What a terrible country ! Anyway. I like your attitude, I really do :D
Your chalupa is like royal summer residence, you should see our "chata" where is not even running water. :-D
a kadiš do travy :-D
@@LVLV_07_ ne, kadim v kadibudce :-D

Going to chalupa for a weekend is such a Czech thing! I love it and as I grow older I appreciate these weekends more and more.

And if I walk for 20 or 30 km, is it still just a walk?

Best ice cream ever
Beautiful, thx. 🤗
Nice video, thank you 🙂 why did your friend stop the man driving the tractor?
Asking for a lighter hahahah
Im going to Praha this week! I'll be there all of next week, maybe I'll see you guys! :D
We will be around!
Well that was the most Czech experience so far. :)
Indeed. And the drinking part was not that much included cause foreigners won’t get it and Czechs already know it 😂
:D díra a hned vedle je další díra, kde bydlím... ale příroda je tady nádherná :) Jezdíte na Kal často?
hadam, ze kal melo bejt kalba
@@nargalda773 Ne :D

@@ArepasforDinner thank you for your reaction! I didn't expect that :-) I hope you like your new home and can't wait to see new videos :-)
Where is this czech beach dear?
In the lake/pool!?
@@ArepasforDinner yes, where is there?
Rosana Mehandi It’s in Dachovy, close to Hořice

I'm sorry .. I've just played the name of the town like 20 times .. And I still don't get the connection to drinking tho.
Mmmmm according to my Prague friends is slang for like drink!.. IDk
"Kal" in a slang means : "Enjoy yourself and party !!! " smthng like that .. But the world sounds the same only in imperative.. As the only form of speech .. Which basically commands you to do so .. in any other speech manner it would be a different form...

Please don’t do this to sharp knives and fine tableware. ;)
Lol that’s not fine table ware 😂😂😂😂
You are so beautiful!😍
Aaaw thank you! 🎈😀
Ofcourse you are bringing your Icemachine, lol :D
Would you believe that 90% of czechs dont have their own icemachine and probably even dont know how it looks like?
What a terrible country !
Anyway. I like your attitude, I really do :D
Jste si vědoma toho, že žádný cizinec se na ta videa patrně nedívá? Přes 95% sledujících jsou Češi nebo Slováci.
A?
Actually is 60/40 according to my stats 😂
@@ArepasforDinner Of course, 80% of those foreigners are Czechs and Slovaks.
minduton omg I can send you the stats to your email if you want?! It just happens that Czechs like to comment. A lot 😂
@@ArepasforDinner I don't care, I was just interested in the aspect for which audience the videos are intended. Mainly that you enjoy it.
