M.S.U. / Czech Technical University Land Planning Exchange & Development

This Land planning and development exchange program was put in place with the Landscape Architeture Program of MSU and the Czech Technical University, along with several private businesses and consultants. The community was basically willing to give a developer first right of refusal on all of the small resort town with a freshwater lake (a big deal in Czech) just east of the Capital City of Prague. The interest in the project was extreme from the private business and university level, but a primary sponsor for the acquisition and development of the real estate could not be found.

Lednice - Valtice in Southern Moravia - Redevelopment of the Lichtenstein Castles as World Historic Tourist Attractions

This video, made by Czech producers at the direction of the Ministry of Economy which we have great connections with highlights the castles in southern Moravia, just north of Budapest, and east of Vienna. These castles were once the vacation homes of the once very pwealthy and powerful Lichtenstein family whom actually had their own country, which is now much smaller than it was and does not include this these territories. These castles were offered to developers and investors of West Michigan (Amway Corporation) as high profile Eastern Block redevelopment opportunities to increase toursism and visibility to the region. Amway did open operations in the Czech Republic and neighboring eastern bloc countries and had enjoyed mild success with their sales totals.

Czech Industry I

Could the Czech Republic really be the Mexico of the European Union? If so, why are we not pursuing this more from the West. The European Community is projected to be an economic power in the next decade or so. What are we as Americans doing to get in on the action? Parnering with German or Western European Countries? Why not the Czech Republic. Top areas to exchange technology and products are Medical Supplies and Instruments, Automotive, Office Furniture and Regional Tourism. Sounds a lot like Michigan already doesn't it? Want to get involved or involve us? Email me a comment at your earliest convenience.

True Freedom

Original Music Score. Czech Christian Techno Music Video. Watch the words in English. Note the irony and symbolism in the "fake" parades that everyone had to attend and smile at. True Spirituality is not a set of rules or a Creed but a relationship with Diety.

Czech Video Pen Pal Program

Here is a fun opportunity for Middle and High Schoolers to connect with kids their age from the Czech republic and start exchanging videos on the blog. Christian Youth in America, post your video profile and wait to see what responses you get from Czech students. Witness, share, visit, host.

Obviously, the connection can be made over the internet in real time, first in group settings and then smaller groups as we help you walk through the process of committing to a video "pen-pal".

Thanks,
