First day at the beach, I finally arrived after driving for ten hours from my hometown - a large city, to my destination for my holidays, a small town by the sea. I rented a house that had a fantastic view on the ocean. After unloading my luggage in the house - it was easy as there was only one person worth of luggage, I took a stroll around in search for a bakery to buy a sandwich. It didn’t take make me long to walk to the city center where the activities of town were gathered - a church, a butcher house, a hair stylist, a bank and - finally, a bakery.

My name is Christian Zülher. I work as a sales representative for a German book publishing company. My schedule had me travel to this remote village in order to sell books to the local library. Needless to say that the business won’t be floroushing for our company thanks to this trip, indeed the mayor left me with the impression that providing his village with books and knowledge wasn’t his top priority. Exhausted after such a demanding trip and negociations, I had dinner in the hotel I was staying the night. The hotel was a classic one, one of those you find everywhere on the Czech countryside. It was clean and the food was tasteful, but a traveling salesman gets used to eating the nicest dishes.
