How to #1

In our today's part of the "How to" series we are going to test our washing machine, for it is only with the cleanest clothes that you can look stylish. You will need a paper tissue or a serviette and a pair of your favourite jogging trousers. Put the tissue into a pocket of the trousers, turn them inside out and wash in the washing machine to be tested at 45 °C. If you have a good machine, this is the result you should get:
/////////////////
V prvom dieli našej série "Ako na to" sa pozrieme na zúbok automatickým pračkám. Iba s najčistejšími šatami je totiž možné vyzerať stajlovo. Budete potrebovať papierovú vreckovku alebo servítku a vaše obľúbené tepláky. Strčte vreckovku do vrecka teplákov, prevráťte ich naruby a dajte prať na 45 °C. Ak je vaša pračka spoľahlivá, výsledok by mal byť nasledovný:




For the best result I use a big and thick (at least 3 plies, preferably 4) paper serviette. In this case I am using a party serviette with a funny picture printed on it - that is the thickest you can get in the supermarket.
//////////////
Pre najlepší výsledok treba použiť veľkú a hrubú (aspoň trojvrstvovú, lepšie štvorvrstvovú) servítku. V pokuse, ktorý vidíte, som použil servítky pre narodeninové oslavy so srandovnou potlačou, ktoré su najhrubšie, aké sa dajú dostať v supermarketoch.


Notice the uniform diffusion of the paper bits - a sign of an exceptional quality of the washing machine.
//////////////
Všimnite si rovnomerný rozptyl papierových omrviniek - znak výnimočnej kvality pračky.

I didn't really want to buy the t-shirt but the guy on the street did not let go of me once he found out I was a tourist.

To tričko som si fakt nechcel kúpiť, ale chlapík na ulici keď zistil, že som turista, tak ma proste nechcel pustiť.
