Cesky preklad meho blogu (Czech translation of my blog)

Pri serfovani jsem narazila na moznost prekladu textu - sluzbu kterou nabizi Google. www.translate.google.cz Osobne mi to prijde jako super napad.
Zkusila jsem si prelozit nejeden muj clanek a vybrala jsem jeden - o potapeni. Prikladam kousek pro pousmání (diky me anglictine, preklepum a googlovskeho prekladu) :)

" Druhý den našeho potápění v Sipadan byl prostě skvělý. Chodili jsme spolu na zeď colourul plné korálů a ryb. Najednou z ničeho velký Sea Turtle přišli a plaval jen jeden metr ode mě! Naše Divemaster (osoba, která je dodávána s námi na show okolo nás) se nám to trochu jeskyně, ale také plaval přes otvor ve vápencových, viděl žraloka asi 2 m dlouhy, škola plavání ryb nad námi .... prostě paráda. Když jsme se viděli jedno velké ryby z ničeho jiného velkého někdo přišel!"

Reintegration is always an issue

Once coming back from abroad, you must be sure, it will come. Sooner or later. The only thing is, which attitude you will have to it, how much you will let it come close to you and how you will face it.

I have always had a reintegration shock. Even though I was thinking sometimes its not there, but it is.

How does it look like?
- I tend to deal with ordinary people the way I used to in Malaysia (sometimes I had to encounter that locals did not get my points and I had to explain on, sometimes with higher voice)
- the weather has been always an issue, especially the autumn foggy one, that is letting me into depression
- not to mention the people, they have been always missing there home (Both my stays abroad - Sweden, Malaysia - its both thesame!)
- rice. I have a special attitude towards rice since I have come back from Asia. Cant define it, but I do :)
- I try not to bother my environment too much with: the stories, comparisons, inner moods, which actually means that I keep it in myselft, that leads into my more reserved mood.
- I am back to my timemanagement (try to be on time)
- I feel more stressed out. With school, and other things, eventhough I try not to take stuff too seriously, but I feel stressed inside :S
- I busy myself with school, nowadays I am having interesting courses in Marketing communication, that make me think out of the box and give me different perspective on things.

Basicly, I think there is no common advice how to overcome a "reintegration shock". With the trend in today´s World I believe it will become a serious issue. The main factor is time, I believe. With time things get "better" and the abroad stay is becoming less relevant in current life reality that is now full of studying, working or living present life. However, its still there and will be. And that is why the abroad experience shouldnt be feared. The life we lived, the exprience we gained, this all makes us stronger and with wider our World view, that in today´s busy cosmopolitan Big Apple full of different kinds of issues is so important! Moreover, I got to think that the main purpose of all this is to put the experience in everyday life, influence people, share the experience and in the end even run a business in the same field...

To conclude, reintegration shock is worth it.
