Yesterday after the language class we went to the Brno planetarium - it was very informative as there were some models that explained us how gravitational force etc. work.

In the evening we had a little party at our dormitory and some students also went to a club in the city centre afterwards - I didn't join them though as I was way too tired from the language class and the visit to the planetarium.
On the photo you can see me and my roommate Maria from Estonia... :)

Today's cultural lessons were very insightful - we watched a Czech movie (with English subtitles of course ;) called "Kolja" that won an Oscar in 1996.

The movie is about a concert cellist called Franta Louka in Soviet-occupied Czechoslovakia who has run up a large debt after losing his position in the state orchestra.
When his friend, the grave-digger Mr. Broz, suggests a scheme for making a lot of money by marrying a Russian woman so that she can get Czech papers, he reluctantly agrees. She takes advantage of the situation by emigrating to West Germany, leaving her five-year-old son with his grandmother.
After the grandmother dies, Kolja has to live with his stepfather - Louka.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to find an English trailer, but if you're interested in the movie, you can watch a synopsis here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfVSvI4fo-s .

Tomorrow is going to be a big day again - we will visit the Moravian karst where we will take a cruise on the underground river.
After that, we will see a ballet performance of "Giselle" at the local theatre.

I hope you enjoy the photos and I'm looking forward to hear how things are going for you! :)
