      True, another problem of the czech education. We deeply focus on the history, almost not learning past 100 years in school (and also just in the lasts years of high schools), just a little bit of information about what we should be aware of and learning from. But we know exactly what happened in 1415, why that king in middle ages killed his brother and took his wife and how many antic philosophers you would need to change a light bulb. Super important! 😁

      But it's true that the more recent history often gets a very quick runthrough at the end of the school year...
      When I was attending the special history class for my maturita in history, our teacher specifically decided to focus on the 20th century history of "the Third World" the whole year (aside from preparation for the maturita questions) because that's something you _never_ have time for in regular lessons, yet it influenced 20th (and 21st) century history a lot. It has been, indeed, priceless for understanding a lot of things...

      Yeah I can imagine. We should know something about the history, for sure. But the amount of information we are getting of very past ages are enormous and last century is just "meh". I also chose a "Second half of the 20th century" as a special subject in my 4th grade on highschool just because I was curious. It's really weird that schools put this so much aside. Also in other countries.
      And then you are asking yourself why so many people for example vote for Communist party.
      But it also might be residuum of communist approach to teaching. They didn't want us to know, what happened in last ten years and before. And thus this whole process might evolve even deeper and more crazy. This is just my idea, what could happen, I am not sure that it happened exactly like this, but I can imagine it.

    Ad imperial vs metric system - it reminds me one explanation from "Good Omens" book: Two farthings = One Ha'penny. Two ha'pennies = One Penny. Three pennies = A Thrupenny Bit. Two Thrupences = A Sixpence. Two Sixpences = One Shilling, or Bob. Two Bob = A Florin. One Florin and one Sixpence = Half a Crown. Four Half Crowns = Ten Bob Note. Two Ten Bob Notes = One Pound (or 240 pennies). One Pound and One Shilling = One Guinea.

It was taken over by arabs, who also took over indian decimal system, got them all mixed with their own system(s) and when they invaded europe, they brought it all with them. What counting base is used in which sphere was heavily influenced mainly by who developed the mathematical field. Angle theory was developed mainly by the Arabs, taken over by the sumers, so that is why we use 60 base. Math fields which were developed in Greece prefered to use 10 base system, so that is why it is prevalent in arithmetics. For the greeks, 10 was considered a perfect number, mainly because of pythagorean school, and they even ascribed magical powers to it. The history of counting systems is pretty fascinating.

    Well, I think there always was a "cold war" between Bohemia and Moravia. Both sides hate something about the other side and spear rumors (and most of the rumors or jokes are on Moravia, so they mostly just defend themself) about that, etc. But nowadays I think it's a little bit cool down, cause now Moravia is fighting with Prague, and sometimes Bohemia helps them with that. The world mostly sees only Prague, not the whole Czech republic, and they believe that they visit Prague they will know Czech culture, etc. Because of that Bohemia is starting to disappear under the light of Prague and I believe that they don't like it too.
    I also hear an opinion that Prague is the Czech Republic, also one politician said that in Brno... I'm surprised that he is still alive too.

It produces excellent beer and also the famous Olomouc stinky cheese, "Tvargle". In the summer, they will also open a restaurant with a beer garden, so if restrictions allow, I recommend a visit. I also highly recommend visiting a pub called LocAle Pub, which is in Olomouc right next to the train station and is a pub with a large selection of beers from mini-breweries.

    Děkuji velice za Vaše videa, které mi správně doplňují můj pohled na život lidí ve světě, tedy i v USA - Los Angeles. Vážím si vaší práce. Protože jsem vyrůstal v Olomouci, mohu Vás tam pozvat - především historické centrum - 2. nejbohatší po Praze u nás. Například orloj, 7 kašen podle italských, nádherné velké parky a Přemyslovský palác. Olomouc je město studentů - Palackého univerzita - to by se Vám také líbilo. V olomouci jsou lidé znalí světa, protože dávno pracovali po celém světě, bez ohledu na komunismus. Moje rodina také - Latinská Amerika, Arabské země - celkem 17 zemí v délce 10 let. Vedle Olomouce je Kopeček s krásným výhledem na město a okolí a hned vedle je ZOO. Dalším místem, kam Vás mohu pozvat, je krásný park v Čechách pod Kosířem - asi 15 km od Olomouce, dále pohádkový hrad Bouzov u Mohelnice a vedle Mladečské a Javoříčské jeskyně. Ten smradlavý sýr je skvélý, není z Olomouce, ale z Mohelnice. Na závěr chci upozornit, že celý rozkvět Moravy ale i Čech vděčí hlavně šlechtickému rodu Lichtenštejnů po 700 let - to se ale neříká, protože Lichtenštějnům bylo Československem vše ukradeno, tedy německým židům. V praze i Vídni máte nádherný Lichtenštejnský palác. Téměř celý průmysl České republiky je z kapitálu Lichtenštějnů, kteří jej vytvářeli těch 700 let těžením zlata a dalších rud, později průmyslem.

If you like animals - there is Zoo Olomouc in the Svatý Kopeček - in translate "Saint Small Hill" (there is also basilica with nice view). And there are lots of cafés, restaurants, pubs, wine bars...

    Ahoj, až se vydáte s Honzou do Olomouce, doporučuji zajet 30km dál do Loštic, kde se vyrábí ty "nejsmradlavější" sýry a mají tam vlastní podnikovou prodejnu z tvarůžkových výrobků. Kdykoliv jedu kolem, musím se tam zastavit. :)
    Moc děkuji za videa a ukázku rozdílů. Vždy se těším na příští týden.

    If you consider visiting Moravia - on the way to Olomouc visit Kromeriz (Kroměříž) as well. The town center with beautiful Chateu and its famous gardern in Anglican style, historical square and flowery garden in French style is on UNESCO list. And you can reach everything by walking. You would love it there.

    If you go to Olomouc, you should visit Svatý Kopeček. It offers a beautiful view of Olomouc. City lost its importance as a capital when Swedes took it during thirty years war so later the city was repurpoused as a fortress so there are small forts all around the city. Probably the bigest one is located under the city walls next to Bezručovy sady. Klášterní hradisko is a beautiful monastery near the city center. If the restaurants will be opened I would recommend visiting 818 restaurant at the top of the tall building at train station. It also offers beautiful view of the city. Those are few tips for your trip. Love you content :)

    and there´s more - about smaženka, the important thing is that the slice of bread is being soaked in beaten eggs and fried to gold.. you indeed have the choice not to soak the bread and just lay down the egg omelette onto the mustard side of the bread but majority prefers the soaked variant cuz this makes the break moist ans silky..

    Olomoucke tvaruzky (stinky cheese) is actually from the small Moravian town of Lostice. My brother-in-law lives right near there and brings us some often when he visits.

    Hi from Olomouc. There is one more interesting building in Olomouc close to the city center - A conservatory with tropical plants. It is not as big as the one in DC but it might be interesting (currently closed :-( ). And I recommend having a beer, or two, in the park at the fountain. Thanks for your great and funny videos. I really appreciate your remarkable knowledge of Czech history, politics, etc.

    Hi Jen, if you come to Olomouc, I'd recommend a walk around the historic city centre. There are still buildings dating back to when Olomouc was the Moravian capital. For example, I was told that a part of our majestic kostel sv. Mořice that still stands today has been built in the 14th century! One of the most important buldings in Olomouc, katedrála sv. Václava, was consecrated already in 1131, although the building has been rebuilt a couple of times since then, so its current shape is from later centuries. One of the reasons that our city centre is so preserved is that up until the end of the 19th century, there was a massive fortified wall around the whole city, so there could have been no "modern" development inside the walls. Only when they tore down the wall, the city started expanding and shaping towards its present-day look. But parts of the historical city center remained as they were to remind us of the olden times. Just wait for the lockdowns to end, because, as someone has already mentioned, you absolutely have to visit Black Stuff, Long Story Short, or Masné krámy. :)
