First of May, the Time of Love.
"You are supposed to get kissed under cherry tree bloom." It says old Czech tradition. The First of May is "Czech Valentine´s Day" actually.
Enjoy the whole May full of Love and the first verses of probably the best-known Czech poem, May, written by the 19th century poet Karel Hynek Macha.

Late evening, on the first of May -
The twilit May - the time of love.
Meltingly called the turtle-dove,
Where rich and sweet pinewoods lay.
Whispered of love the mosses trail,
The flowering tree as sweetly lied,
The rose's fragrant sigh replied
To love-songs of the nightingale.
In shadowy woods the burnished lake
Darkly complained a secret pain,
By circling shores embraced again;
And heaven's clear sun leaned down to take
A road astray in azure deeps,
Like burning tears the lover weeps.

Loosening of Restrictions: Packages
Basic description
The loosening of restrictions is divided into six steps. The main parameter to be followed is the incidence, which is an epidemiological term that refers to the number of new patients over a period of time. In this case, the new measures will be based on the number of new cases per 100,000 people in seven days. However, other indicators of the spread of the disease are also taken into account. Depending on the number of new cases in a given area, loosening of restrictions can occur at both the national and regional levels. Loosening may not occur every week, but will always be a response to the current epidemiological situation. The individual loosening will be implemented in the form of extraordinary measures of the Ministry of Health, which will be submitted to the government. The measures, which will always apply from Monday, will be announced on the Thursday before that Monday.
Currently, the Czech Republic is in PACKAGE 1

How to rent an apartment
Comparing lease and sublease contracts when renting
Are you looking for a flat to rent in Ostrava? Do you know the difference between lease and sublease? Our blog post covers everything you need to know.
If you are looking to rent, you will get a contract depending on the ownership of the property. To put it in simple words, if the person owns it directly you will have a lease contract and if the property is owned by a housing cooperative, the „owner“ himself/herself will have a lease from the housing cooperative, therefore you as a tenant will have sublease contract.
