Spirit Atlas: It's Zoo Time! | Czech Republic

My very first associations with Czech Republic were mostly about how my family promised to bring me there and never fulfilled the promise - I was 10 or something. Long after that I had a period of associating Czech Republic with Prague, and Prague - with Charles' Bridge. Then, after actually visiting Prague, visiting it again, and again, and again, I came to the final understanding that Charles' bridge is not all about Prague and definitely not about Czech Republic at all. So as I feel enormously sorry and guilty about all that wrong perception field I had, I keep going around that country and finding cool stuff on the way. This time I found out that I'm lower than a new-born giraffe.

So the story is: being in Rotterdam, I didn't get to the Rotterdam Zoo; I did see the Prague Zoo; so, being quite a fan of zoos, I got another one, situated in Dvůr Kralove - a small and cosiest town on the North (basically almost beyond the Wall) with a population of something like 16,000. By the way, even by googling the name of the town the first link is actually about the zoo, which probably is good for the zoo, but quite disturbing for the city. There were also a river Elba flowing by and on the way back we run into the shop selling cassettes (no, seriously).

Well, that was a cool zoo, having all the things a cool zoo needs to have. There were lemurs right next to the restaurant called "At lemurs’" (out of sudden, yeah, but it was super cute). There were flamingos! Crazy fishes, lots of elephants, three tigers (at that point I noticed that something is wrong with their colors - and found out I should really take off these green-colored sun glasses).The global warming probably is going to fry us soon enough, but the weather was perfectly springly. All the animals signs were translated not just to English, but also Russian and German. I was reading with enthusiasm that was not translated, making, apparently, awful mistakes.

Yes, collection of crazy fishes:
