Poděbrady is a small but beautiful, peaceful, and quaint town located only about one hour from Prague and easily accessible by train. I recently visited and wanted to share some thoughts about my experience there. 📍The Town Poděbrady is a calm and charming town known for its spa culture, quiet streets, scenic walks, and cozy cafés. Visitors have plenty of food options, including traditional Czech pubs, Italian restaurants and pizzerias, kebab spots (of course), and welcoming cafés. When I visited, my girlfriend and I started our trip with a pizza dinner at Severino, which was absolutely delicious. The next day, we had lunch at a traditional Czech pub called Náš Hostinec, which also serves tank beer. Finally, we enjoyed coffee at Vilémovo, a lovely café offering a wide range of fresh breads, dairy products, honey, and jams. 👉Read the whole blog at our webpage, more information in bio. #writtingsblog #studentsblog #askstudents #fisbachelor #fismasters #podebrady #spaplace #czechspa

👉Read the new Blog written by Nick, EDS student 🖊Easter is one of those holidays that feels familiar across many cultures – spring, renewal, family – but the way it’s celebrated in the United States versus the Czech Republic is surprisingly different. As someone experiencing both perspectives, the contrast is not just interesting, it’s kind of shocking. 🐣In the United States, Easter is mostly a quiet, family-centered holiday rooted in Christian tradition but heavily commercialized. The typical American Easter revolves around Sunday: families go to church in the morning, then gather for a big meal – often featuring ham, potatoes, and spring vegetables. For kids, the highlight is the Easter egg hunt. Parents hide colorful plastic eggs filled with candy around the house or yard, and children run around collecting them in baskets – I personally remember accidentally grabbing a neighbor’s real eggs. The Easter Bunny 🐇plays a big role; bringing sweets and small gifts overnight, similar to Santa Claus at Christmas. Overall, the tone is soft, pastel-colored, and focused on children and family bonding. The Czech Republic, on the other hand, celebrates Easter in a way that feels much more active, communal, and – maybe – a bit archaic in some ways. The most distinctive tradition happens on Easter Monday, not Sunday. On this day, boys and men visit girls and women and gently whip them with decorated willow branches called pomlázka. In return, the women give them painted eggs, sweets🍬🍫, or even a shot of alcohol. 🍸🥂 👉Read the whole blog at our webpage, more information in bio. #writingablog #studentsblog #askstudents #fisbachelor #fismasters #easter #easterinusa #easterinczechia #culturedifferences #springiscoming
