March 8^th can be remembered differently amongst Czechs and Slovaks at home or abroad. This day used to be known as International Woman’s Day (IWD). It started as a political event and later it was mostly associated with the communist regime and red carnations. This holiday is similar to Mother’s Day and St. Valentine’s Day. It disappeared from our calendars for a while, but now it is back to bring awareness of the struggles and achievements of women around the world. Will you be one of people, who celebrate this day?

The most frequently used search engine in the Czech Republic is Seznam.cz. According to Navrcholu.cz, it currently shares about 60% of domestic searches.  Google.cz is closely following with about 30% of search usage. It may also be one of the reasons why Seznam decided to make a wise change to its searches by announcing a safe filter to remove all inappropriate search results.

About fifteen years ago, a new show called Alles Gute emerged with Milan Steindler and David Vavra. It was a parody of formal German courses from the 90s that lasted on television screens for four years. The show was a part of the television program called Ceska soda that was cancelled for its politically incorrect humor. Now it is back but on the Internet and will be aired every two weeks. The first part of the series (12 of them total) has already been aired on Stream.cz and another one will be available this Sunday. You can watch it at the end of this article.

How would you rate democracy in the Czech Republic and Slovakia on a scale from 1 to 10? The question is not that easy and it requires consideration of many variables and a large pool of data. The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) has completed such study and according to their results, the Czech Republic showed a slight improvement in the EIU Index of Democracy in 2008. On the other hand, Slovakia’s index declined, compared to last year’s study results. The study was done in 167 countries and focused on the electoral process and pluralism, functioning of government, political participation, political culture, and civil liberties. Based on the total ranking numbers from all five categories, the Czech Republic fell in the full democracy range, whereas Slovakia fitted into the flawed democracies range.
