Promotion Ceko and Indi again and dumplings

Today we've worked on our video again and we've promoted our culture.

We've met a lot of amazing people. We've taken a picture with some of them. I think, that all people were interested in our culture. Some of them asked questions and wanted to know more, some of them were surprised what are we doing here in Taiwan and some of them surprised us very much.
One couple has given us as a "thank you gift" bottle of ion water. I've not expected it! It has been so lovely :-) Other listeners have paid attention to Czech dumpling :-) Czech dumpling do not consist meat. So later, they have given us as a present their traditional dumpling with meat. It has been so nice! Thank you very much! I'll remember it for a long time..

I hope that maybe one day some of them will come to visit our beautiful countries and they will remember the basic things about Czech and Indonesia and us :-)

Nice couple, that already know Czech and Indonesia culture - thank you very much for a present!

All of them also know about us! Thank you again for a gift - it has been delicious :-)

We've eaten and drinked it up very quickly, it has been soo good!

Hope to see you one day in our countries :-)

Later we've met our host family, it has been very nice to see them in our work place. They were on their hiking journey from Sun Bin Temple to Bilong Temple, like we've been two days ago. We've presented our culture to them too :-) Such a big lovely group. Thank you very much for listening! We hope that our journey has started with an interesting facts about Czech and Indonesia.

All of them know about us! Thank you for listening :)

And because DUMPLINGS are a big topic, I've decided to show you there some pictures of Czech and Taiwanese dumplings.

Yeast dumplings (picture from http://www.ceskahospodynka.cz/recept.jsp?id=146)

Yeast dumplings are cooked from flour, egg yolk, milk, yeast, older roll o bread a little bit sugar and salt. You can find a similar recipe in English here: http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,184,146162-238207,00.html.

Sweet yeast dumplings are made with the same ingredients like yeast dumplings, but you add also some fruit. I like very much blueberries.

Potato dumplings (picture from http://www.kudlanka.cz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3850&Itemid=34)

Potato dumplings are made from potatoes, flour, eggs and salt. There is no need yeast. You can also find similar recipe here: http://www.cooks.com/rec/doc/0,161,132166-231203,00.html.

Potato dumplings with meat (picture from http://recepty.centrum.cz/recepty/prilohy/knedliky-a-noky/staticky/recepty/bramborove-knedliky-plnene/)

Sweet or salty potato dumplings are made with the same ingredients like potato dumplings, but you can add some fruit.

You can also find another dumplings in Czech Republic, but these are the most common.

Taiwanese dumplings (picture from http://101taiwanrestaurants.com/?p=341)

Taiwanese dumplings are usually filled with some meat or vegetable. There are no yeast or potatoes. It tastes like a thin dough with filling. People usually buy the dough in the store.

Fried Taiwanese dumplings = potsticker (picture from http://christinewei.com/2012/01/25/taipei-taiwan-cheap-food-street-dumplings-noodles-sushi-tea-eggs/)

Potsticker = fried Taiwanese dumplings are made in very similar way like normal Taiwanese dumplings, but as an extra, you fry them.


I hope I have not forgotten any important dumpling :-) I'd love to have one now - the sweet yeast dumplings with blueberries from my grand mother. She can make them very delicious:-)
