Note: If you do NOT receive anything from me, please let me know because I ALWAYS send my swaps and there can be some misunderstanding at a post office or something like that.
I am Eliška, 27 years old. I studied American literature (my specialization was the period of the 1950's and 1960's) and I work as a translator and interpreter and I simply enjoy whatever I do. I also have some English and Czech for foreigners lessons. I have many hobbies - reading, music, film, going out, swimming, sleeping and many many others. To make my life happy, I have a dog whose name is Kvenda (I took him from the dog shelter) and he is a mixture of a labrador retriever and a dachshund - he is very cute and clever! I LOVE French Little Nicolas by Goscinny and Sempé. And yes, I'm totally addicted to Postcrossing (nickname Bettynka)!7

I know you haven't participated much lately, but Notecards To Go group has lots of fun new swaps. Perhaps we can tempt you?
Hi :)
Just to let you know that I was chosen to send you in the B&W-postcard.
Your card was mailed a few hours ago today :)
I hope it finds you well :)

mazec, mame docela podobnej vkus:) ty si chodila na amerikanistiku v praglu? hadam podle oboru:)
Notecards To Go has a new swap up! We’d love to have you join us in Getting To Know You Vll.
WTA sign-up’s for March and a NTG Drawing is also available in our group forums. Looking forward to seeing you there!
I like Kolja, too although it is very sad, I think and I cannot watch it anymore... Obchod na korze is a Czechoslovak movie because at that time it was made in Czechoslovakia and we cannot say it was purely Czech or Slovak as we were one country...
Two of my favorite movies are Czech... well one is for sure Czech, I think the other is Slovak. Kolya stole my heart and the lead actor sort of reminds me of Sean Connery, but earthier and more fun, and the other one is Obchod na korze (Shop on Main Street). Beautiful, funny and sad.
Hi Tegan,
that's cool, I'm really looking forward to receiving you little package!
Eliška
