        Curiosity: the historic center of Bratislava is rich
        of sculptures of person with natural size that ap-
        pear from every angle. The most photographed
        by the tourists is the statue of Cubic the voyeur,
        the bronze figure of a man that peeks under a
        cover of the manhole, you can find it on the angle
        between the street Panska and Laurinska.
        After the lunch, stage at the wonderful Castle of
        Lednice that is in the middle of a big park, the
        complex “Lednice - Valtice”, patrimony of UNE-
        SCO. The actual aspect of the Castle is from the
        middle of XIX century, when it became a summer
        residence for the Habsburg Dinasty, constructed
        and decorated in English neo gothic cool style.                                                                      321

        The language: in Czech Republic the spoken lan-
        guage is different from the language used by the
        media and the literature, at Brno these differenc-
        es are bigger because of the dialect in this city:
        a mixture of Czech, German, Yiddish… For exam-
        ple: “money”  in  Czech is  “penize”  and  in  Brno
        “love”. “Tram” that in Czech is “tramvaj”, at Brno
        is called “salina.”
