Zase hory/Again mountains
Jak už jsem psala dřív, byla jsem se podívat na jeden český ODA projekt. Celý oficiální název projektu zní takto - Monitoring vysokohorských ledovcových jezer a ochrana obyvatelstva před katastrofálními následky povodní vzniklých průtržemi morénových hrází. Já jsem se byla podívat v oblasti kousek od Biškeku, kde probíhá sledování jezera v čelní moréně ledovce Adigyne a modelace říčního údolí pod jezerem. Dostala jsem se s pracovníky projektu až do výšky 3700 metrů, kde byla zřízena meteorologická stanice a postavena malá základna sloužící k výzkumu. Výstup to byl docela náročný, zvlášť když mě pak rozbolelo koleno - no zasloužilý tělocvikář. S projektovou skupinou jsem zůstala celkem 3 dny a nakonec i trošičku pomáhala při měření v terénu - zeměpisné znalosti se hodily :-) takže ještě jednou díky všem z Geominu, PřF UK a místním pracovníkům:-) V následujícím odkazu najdete hlavně fotky hor a jezer a ledovce, tak se pokochejte!!!
As I wrote before I had the possibility to see one Czech ODA project. The whole official name is like this - Monitoring of alpine glacial lakes and protection of population against the catastrophical consequences of floods caused by destruction of moraine barrages. I was in the region close to Bishkek where the lake of Adigyne glacier is being monitored as well as the river valley below this lake. We climbed to 3700 m with the other workers of the projects. There is a small meteorological station and small house used for the research there. The climbing was kind of little bit demanding especially when my knee started to hurt - yes a very worthy PE student. I stayed finally 3 days with the project group and I also helped a little bit when doing measurements in the valley - well, my geographical studies were useful :-) So, once more thanks to all people from Geomin, Faculty of Science of Charles University and local workers:-) You can see mainly pictures of mountains, lakes, and glacier in the next link, ENJOY as I did!!!

Habitat for Humanity
Tak konečně - co tu dělám? Jsem tu jako dobrovolník v organizaci Habitat for Humanity Kyrgyzstan - www.habitat.elcat.kg Takže dělám, co je potřeba a samozřejmě sháním kontakty a materiály všeho druhu pro svou každodenní práci na katedře. Habitat je původně americká NGO a staví domy pro lidi, kteří se nacházejí v tvz. "housing poverty" (chudoba bydlení). Tady v Kyrgyzstánu docela aktuální téma...
A přesně? - tak pomáhála jsem s psaním jednoho projektu, dělala nějaké překlady a přepisy dokumentů a teď se snažím vymyslet, jak přitáhnout více místních dobrovolníků :-) Takže budu dělat prezentace na univerzitách tady v Biškeku, no snad to stihnu než odjedu :-)
Well finally - what am I doing here? I am here as a volunteer surprisingly :-) I work with organisation called Habitat for Humanity - www.habitat.elcat.kg Therefore I try to do what is necessary and just needed. In the meantime I also work on my everyday work at my Department :-) - trying to have some new contacts, information and so on.... Habitat for Humanity is an American NGO working in the field of housing poverty - very actual topic in Kyrgyzstan.....
And what I have been doing exactly? I helped with writing of project, some translations and documents typing and exactly NOW I am trying to develop a strategy how to attract more local volunteers to cooperate with Habitat :-) I like this theme!!! Therefore I will do some presentations at Universities here in Bishkek :-)

Lake Issyk Kul/ jezero Issyk Kul a další
Well some other pictures - I went with Habitat to Issyk Kul lake. They had there a seminar and I had the possibility to enjoy the incredible lake, to get burnt and also to go to the mountains.
tak pár dalších obrázků - Jela jsem s Habitatem na jezero Issyk Kul. Oni tam měli seminář a já tak měla možnost poznat další kout kyrgyzské krajiny, taky jsem se spálila (ještě teď se loupu) a opět jsem byla v horách - ale jen na den.

Naryn and At-Bashi
Tak tady je několik obrázků z mého výletu k téměř čínským hranicím. Nejela jsem sama, ale s přáteli z Biškeku a v At Baši jsem také bydleli u kyrgyzské rodiny.
Here are some pictures from my trip to almost Chinese border. I didnt go alone, but with some friends from Bishkek and we were living with the family in At Bashi.

Čas utíká / Time is running
Ano, ano, ano, dlouho jsem nic nenapsala no ale to bylo proto, že nestíhám a byla jsem po všech koutech Kyrgyzstanu. Tak ted se to budu snažit nahradit. Uz jsem navštívila hodně částí Kyrgyzstánu - chybí mi už jen jih, ale to asi nestihnu, toš budu muset přijet znovu :-) byla jsem na JV skoro až na čínských hranicích - po tom, co je otevřeli, tak po neupravené silnici projede cca 50 a více (no víc už jsem nezvládla počítat) tiráků denně z a do Číny. Taky jsem se koupala v jezeře Issyk Kul, jehož voda je neskutečně průzračnááááááááááá. No a taky jsem byla u jezera Adigyne v horách nedaleko Biškeku - je to jedno z míst, kde probíhá jeden z projektů české rozvojové spolupráce (http://www.geomin.cz/?menu=3). Takže kluci díky, že jsem mohla být s vámi :-) Taky jsem byla v kině na filmu v ruštině - ne že bych rozuměla všemu, ale toš šlo to..... rozumím víc než na začátku a kyrgyzsky už umím možná i 4 slova.
Yes, for sure I´m very sorry that I didn´t write for such a long time but I was enjoying Kyrgyzstan and all its coulours and nice and bad parts :-) I went for some other trips, now only south Kyrgyzstan is missing to my mosaic of the whole country. I discovered almost the Chinese border with many trucks going from and to China :-( I was swimming in a great lake Issyk Kul where the water is incredibly cleaaaaaaaaaaaaar - really you can watch your body all the time :-) and I went to Adigyne (nice place in the mountains near Bishkek) with nice Czech guys from one Czech Official Development Assistance Project - thanks (http://www.geomin.cz/?menu=3)!!! I went to the cinema to see a movie in Russian :-) well I understood something............

první dojmy / first impressions of Kyrgyzstan
Už jsem tady týden :-) 2 dny na venkově s mojí úžasnou kolegyní Bermet - dobrodružství cestou tam auto se pokazilo uprostřed hor uprostřed noci:-) a pak nááádherné hory a lidičky. A taky pracujuuuuu:-) a snažím se mluvit rusky!!! Víc na fotkách!!!
I´have been here since one week. I spent 2 days in the countryside with my great colleague - really adventure going there (our car has broken in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere in the mountains:-) and then amazing mountains and people around me. and of course I work also and I try my best to speak Russian - sometimes it is very funny - just my Czech converted into Russian, but sometimes it works. Enjoy pictures!!!
