Interviewee: Jaromira
General Story
After her retirement, Jaromira is working as an English tour guide in Czech Republic for almost 7 years. Now the 66-year-old lady is the oldest English tour guide in Kutna Hora, a town 73 km away from Prague which famous for its churches.
However, she is not unique in Czech. If you go to the scenic spots in Prague or Kutna Hora, you will found many old people who can speak English, German, Russian and French, etc, working as tour guides or ticket sellers. They handle foreign languages far better than their next generations and recruited by government after their retirement as Czech is being more and more open to outside world.
Jaromira is one of this group of people who have experience the complex history of Czech and is impacted by both Communism and Capitalism.
My Idea
I want to use the interesting phenomenon in Czech and life histories of Jaromira to show the change of Jaromira’s life from a Communist period to a Capitalist period, through which the reader may sense the social change in Czech in recent decades
