Pétanque





This game/ sort of sport isn´t very hard to play. Everyone could throw a ball of  approximatly 700g, also a kid. Pétanque is game which is good for relax, just to throw the ball, to play a show, not too much to hardly think over.
The current form of the game originated in 1907, in Provence, in southern France. The casual form of the game of pétanque is played by about 17 million people in France, mostly during their summer vacations.


In France pétanque is very popular. Everywhere in town, but mosly in platan tree´s parc you can see peolpe of different age playing this game. It is also widely played in Spain. But this year the pétanque came in Slovakia, in Košice where we /students of french bilingual section/ played this game on Hlavná first time. 

 Pétanque populaire in history 



Rules

  1. A boule hitting a boundary is dead and is removed from that end.
  2. On a court or piste marked with strings a boule is dead if it completely crosses the string.
  3. The circle can be moved back in the line of the previous end if there is not room to play a 10 metre end.
  4. The boule can be thrown at any height or even rolled depending on the terrain.
  5. Boules are thrown underarm, usually with the palm of the hand downwards which allows backspin to be put on the boule giving greater control.
  6. Each team should have suitable measuring equipment. In most cases a tape measure is adequate but callipers or other measuring devices may be needed.

  • À carreau
It´s a special feat in which the shooter knocks the opponent's boule out while leaving his boule at or very near the point of impact (pronounced car-o).

Strategy- closet ball to cochonet.

 Special balls- infinity price

The magic Coffee

A cup of coffee shared with a friend is happiness tasted and time well spent.

Coffee like a drink is dark liquid which seeds  came from the coffee plant , called coffee beans.
This plants we could find on plantations of over 70 countries of the world, mostly in Latin America and Asia. But the country of origin is Ethiopia. The cultivation of coffee first expanded in the Arab world.

Yeah, it´ s enough to take one stuck of the original Coffea arabica and you can direcly recognise the strong taste of coffee which is incomparable with the ordinar ´´coffee´´ in shops. I had this opportunity in Tunis. Firstly I saw a very, very small cup with this magic drink but I thaught that it was small quantity.But inverse was true. This was the strogest coffee I´ve ever drunk.

                                      Coffee can be prepared and presented in a variety of ways

Nowdays the green coffee is very trendy thanks to its rich quantity of antioxidants.


I relly love coffee and I can tell I´m ´´dependent´´ on it. For me the cup of true coffee can make my day more agreable it´s why I start my day with it. My favourite is Lavazza.

Rule n.1. :D
