Something more about my interests
Photography and graphics I took up this activity when I was 10 and then with the discovery of Photoshop this hobby grew to an inseparable part of my life. I go in not only for photography but also for various kinds of graphics, among others 2D graphics for the PC game Angry for Flowers.
Cynology

I wanted a dog since I was small and this wish came true when I was 12 and we got our first dog - Leonberger Cid (Argo y Helsu). Thanks him I’ll be always devoted to this breed and the giant breeds in general. I started visiting dog shows at the same time (not participating) and read everything about the dogs’ training and behavior. We got our second dog - Pyrenean mountain dog Chrobak Farma Stekot - in 2001 and I started training him. But the real breakthrough came in January 2008 when we brought home Amor Carnovia Silesia, a dog of a wonderful German working breed Hovawart. I hope we will succeed in the working training, so far we especially like defence training. 

The person who helped us in the beginnings of our last two dogs’ training was Mrs. Gabriela Pavlickova (dog school K-9, kennel Birengo) and now we’re training under the leadership of Mrs. Mirka Marcisinova, a great instructor and our defence figurant in Mr. Mirek Valentin.

Foreign languages I like languages because thanks to them I’m able to meet people from all over the world. A think that a part of why I like them is also the fact that I don’ have problems with learning them and manage it relatively fast.
Travelling I treasure all chances to go abroad and take advantage of them if possible. I’ve already visited more than 20 countries, mostly in Europe. Every visit was special in some way but I have a special soft spot for Greece and Spain.
Oriental dance

I started practising oriental dance when I was 14 and this kind of dance wasn’t very well-known in our country. My first teacher was Kristina Melhorn. Unfortunatelly, I made a long break after attending her lessons for some tome and I took it up again in 2007 in the dance school Centrum orientalnich tancu in Brno, where I finished several regular courses and also various seminaries of dance with veil, candles, saidi and also Bollywood dance.
Now I’m attending some more weekend seminaries and a regular lessons of tribal fusion dance in the dance school SOT Maya, these lessons are conducted by Lenda Adamkova. Lets see what the future brings, so far I especially fell for the dance with coon (saidi), tribal fusion and Bollywood dance.   

The dancers I admire most are Sadie, Jillina, Bozenka, Rachel Brice (tribal fusion) and excellent Czech dancers Sarka Martinakova a Petra Vejrostova.

Horror and thriller - movies and books

I like horror movies - both old classic and new works, American cult movies as well as the Japanese ones and as for the thrillers, there are some French ones I really like.
As for the books, I especially like the work of the literary horror stage king Stephen King. I hooked up to his books after watching the movie Carries and since then I’ve read many of his books in 3 world languages.

There are also books of other genres I enjoyed very much, lets mention at least four - Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole, Portrait d’un Seducteur by Henriette Jelinek and The Education of H*Y*M*A*N   K*A*P*L*A*N and The Return of H*Y*M*A*N   K*A*P*L*A*N by Leo Rosten.
