wrong way

When I used to play the Pc games where you have to drive a car I was very often going wrong way. Nowadays I have the feeling that my country is going this way and I am looking for a big sign saying “wrong way” that I could put in front of their faces.
Just two examples (I am not mentioning the economical “reforms”, the expected taxation level increasing or the next years state budget) that on the first glance not so significant situations but in my opinion dangerous in a principle:
1. In Slovakia you can buy bubble maker toy for boys and for girls... eeee why do we need to distinguish between sex/gender here??
2. In many countries (Balkan, Scandinavia) they don’t synchronize movies, series nothing. You can find it in the original language with subtitles. Perfect and cheap solution for people to learn language and for tourists too. (not ok for small children or for people who cant read or as my mother says for women who are cooking while listening TV). Not in Slovakia. We doubt everything (even from Czech) and we have the LAW that everything has to be in Slovak. Reason is to protect Slovak language...
(my ironic comments didnt go through here :D)

Active is educating workers at Slovak post

I still hesitate if I should use the services of the ex "state" companies in Slovakia. I somehow still have feeling that I bother those people who are working there but on the other hand I usualy go there, because they are cheaper.
So I decided to send the new issue of the Transit via "old" Slovak Post. After the first experience I was somehow expecting that the miss working there will have some problems with the state Faroe Islands (but I can understand I also had it). So I went there and put an envelope in front of her.
She: I suggest to send it with First class otherwise it can take one month to ship it to Iceland
Me: Excuse me I want to send it to Faroe Islands not to Iceland
She: aha, sorry. So it will be uff 27 eur.
(just so you know, Slovak post has 3 country categories when it comes to prices- Czech republic, Europe and Other world and I somehow assumed that 27 euro is too much).
Me: Hm, sorry but Faroe islands are still in Europe.
She: Really? I never heard of it, then it is 13 euro.
Me (thinking, very ironicaly): ah that´s difference of "just"14 euro.

Why some people think that it is a shame to ask....

thoughts on the way to prekistolen


- Do not hurry to your goal you might miss something on the way. The way itself is important.
- the easier looking way might not be that easy in the end
- do not follow others even though they look like they know what they are doing
- the biggest stone isn´t necessary the most stabile
- the same way doesn´t mean the same experience
- the more tougher way to the goal, the more you appreciate the goal
- don´t let others to set your tempo
- sometimes the stone on your way have other purpose than to stop you
