Čo viac chýba ku šťastiu...

Vždy keď vidím slovo tešínka, tak mám radosť, pretože moja hlava si to vykladá ako pušku, ktorá teší. Pušku na tešenie.

A vedeli ste, že etymológia sliezskeho Tešínska a mesta Tešínu je vlastne tiež od slov "potecha", "tešiť sa"? Existuje aj povesť o založení synmi legendárneho poľského kráľa Leška III. Bolek, Lešek a Češek (kde sa len stratil ten Popiel II, čo? :D) boli vraj tak radi, že po dlhých rokoch výprav sa opäť všetci vidia, že to šťastie chceli zvečniť v pomenovaní miesta, kde sa zišli.

Cieszyn (cz. Těšín, niem. Teschen, łac. Tessin) – miasto w południowej Polsce przy granicy z Czechami, w województwie śląskim. Cieszyn (Czech: Těšín) is a border town in southern Poland on the east bank of the Olza River, and the administrative seat of Cieszyn County, Silesian Voivodeship. 国境の町チェシンを訪れたのは2005年7月。当時は橋の上に国境検問所があった。川を越えるとチェコ。チェコのビヤホールの壁の漫画がかわいかった。このときは映画祭の関連イベントで渋さ知らズのライヴを観に行ったのだった。屋外ステージでめちゃめちゃ暑かった。
