Life is full of surprises!

The birthday party at Srch was enormous. We didn’t know what to expect when we got there, in the middle of nowhere. At the train station, something draw our attention; a huge map of the ancient Czechoslovakia. We hadn’t seen one since school times.

Welcome to Srch!!

Tomas came for us and we went straight to the party held at the firemen festivity house. We got there, we ate and we drank and drank and we danced and we drank again. There was life music, and somehow I ended up signing. I don’t know why they let me get hold of the microphone. I guess i stole it... :) Like a virgin, Mama mia, American pie… And this poupourri ended with “Living la vida loca”, as the crowd requested something in Spanish… in Spanish you get it?

It was awesome. I danced with Tomas’ father, the grandma, the cousin… Here I am with grandma

Then something incredible happened when I was introduced to Tomas brother Petr:

Pumu: Your father says you speak Spanish…
Petr: Si un poquito (with a very nice accent)
Pumu: donde aprendistes espagnol?
Petr: en Madrid?
Pumu: anda, pues yo soy de Madrid!
Petr: de donde?
Pumu: de Pozuelo...
Petr: de Pozuelo de Alarcon? (with a perfect pronontiation)

- big silence -

Pumu: Booooooz you wont believe me, Petr lived in Pozuelo!!!

You should have seen the amazing look in my face! I meet a Czech in the Czech countryside that lived in Pozuelo for a year. In Jupiter Street, just 5 mins walk from my parents’ house. Back in 1995; this means I was still living there. I’m sure our ways met once… but how could we know? This is simply astonishing!! I love when things like this occur.

The world is so small…
