I was hiding in an apartment building in Quy Nhon, Vietnam, while Typhoon Kalmegi was raging outside.

The wind was howling, the windows were shaking, and it was genuinely frightening — especially when the storm suddenly went calm, and I realised I was inside the eye. In this video,

I share what it felt like to sit through the typhoon and experience its full power up close.

Apologies for several factual inaccuracies throughout this video. Notably, the Typhoon Kalmegi came from the Philippines, and my estimation of how many people lost their lives due to floods in Hue and Hoi An this year is also incorrect.

We all make mistakes—and this time, I made a big one. Embarrassing, costly, and a lesson learnt.

In this episode, recorded at the airport, I share what happened, along with some of my upcoming plans in Vietnam. Let’s see if any of them actually take off.

Video from this episode doesn't exist, but it's on my YouTube channel.

In this episode of Zdenek’s English Podcast, I trade Vietnam’s chaotic motorbike traffic for the peaceful Czech countryside — no helmet required. I look back on my time abroad: how I went from terrified scooter rookie to semi-respectable rider, discovered the joy (and occasional humiliation) of pickleball 🏓, and… well… also lost a few battles to my gaming addiction and laziness. It’s the good, the bad, and the slightly embarrassing — before I pack my bags for round two in Vietnam.

Video from this episode.
