Christmas Time in Brno


This Christmas has been very good - I now have a story to tell to my grandchild (if I will ever have one) .

It has started on Christmas eve - woke up early in the morning and decided to have fun, to read a book and to watch a movie. Have been thinking to go to some pub in the evening, have a dinner and silently watch Christmas coming to the town.

SO I have dressed and started to wander around to find some pub. Later I have been searching for some food store. After three hours of wandering around, with a hint from Romanian friend I have bought two sandwiches and two chocolates in the 24h store. It has been funny time, we were walking on the road and searching for lonely cats and dogs, which could be enjoyed for the supper with a glass of great white water later in the evening. We have tagged some doors where we have heard dogs barking and parted in the cross road.

In the evening I have been kindly invited to visit a Lithuanian friends house and to meet Christmas there. I have been hesitating, but after I've heard magic words - "food, pivo and free Internet" decided to accept invitation. Took my laptop and went to his home.

Food has been very nice, pivo as always and Jack Daniels lifted up my mood, but the thing which has lifted my mood to the heaven has been lots of people online, having nothing to do, but chatting with strange guys like me.

In the morning I have caught trolley to go home. Usually it takes 15 minutes to get back. This time (it is magic night - remember) - it took me 3 hours. I woke up in some place, looked like womb of trolleybuses mother - there were only trolleys around me. I have felt alone. And I WAS alone - in the locked trolleybus. In the trolleybus depot. Fortunately - without hang over. I have tried to remember if I had played any game, where the hero must escape trolleybus, but could not remember anything related. Decided to check the cabin and found keys in the ignition, lots of buttons, which I have of course pressed all. Doors did not open, but some voices were talking on the radio now. In Czech. In desperation I have started to look for a hammer to break a window and while scanning near the doors found a button, which decompresses air lock.

Finally I am free - found a hole in the fence and just disappeared, hearing dog barking, but never looked back.
