Moravian Slovak - The Land of My Birth (Writing Challenge)

 I was born in little sweaty town Hodonín, sometimes called “Goding”. Hodonín “city” is spread in hearth of Moravian Slovak region, at southeast of Moravian territory (N 48°51'12" E 17° 04' 31"). Hodonínsko is micro region with a flat terrain, wind sand and pines/oak forests. It is famous for wine yards and wine cellars all around there. Most of opportunities for grooving plants (because very good weather condition there) making this one like main weekend hobby for whole family – the gardening.

 This is not only about garden near your house take place on our yard, but people usually get a bike or car and ride numbers of kilometers to garden’s colonies for an active rest. Just use the GPS coordinates and google maps for look at - https://www.google.com/maps/@48.850953,17.0988523,240m/data=!3m1!1e3 – this is typical suburb of towns on Moravian Slovak region.

 Yes, my family has one garden too. More than half of people from region live in block of flats. It is typical lifestyle – just bus – work – concretehouse – still the same every day and weekend get a car and drive on garden. It is old habit of age industry revolution – people used to worked during days in factories, and, evening’s time were spend for care about their own keep.

 So, the Land of My Birth = Land of My childhood, I feel that I belong in my homeland, but unfortunately I have to work 200 miles far…

Since I was a Kid the Fatherhood has not changed much, but I can see some little differences: My father has spent more time in the pub, me (as I am father nowtime), I am spending evenings with study and playing games on my HC (home computer) instead of play with my third-years old daughter.

But now, when the spring time finishing and the garden period again starting, Me, My Father and little daughter, we want spend more time together. It is helpfully for improving the family connection, but somebody can be angry, because is nervous about actuality of his/her Facebook profile... Like my wife last time, she has had argument with me about the time, which we were spending together on our garden during last Sunday (Father’s barbecue day), when I do not wanted pack our tent (nice weather = why do not spend during night under stars with little fire).

This is maybe reason for my dad pubing (activity for frequent visiting the pub - habitué). And finally, reason for why the fathers need their own Fathers day(s) :-)

But do not be confused, I love my wife, but sometimes she do not (want) understand some things what I want/doing (motorbike, fishing, football, computer games, pub, snowboard, running, bicycle, in-line skating, playing guitar, etc…).
