[kj] Jaz Pies and CZ

[Karen Weil]

Lennoka: 

Considering how the euro is crushing the dollar, drinking beer in Prague would be a good idea! ; )
(Gorgeous, amazing city, BTW.) And the rest of the country's not too shabby either!

  Hi Bette : )

  That's quite hard question for me, my knowledge about tourism converges to zero...
  As much as I can say, it's true that many things are very cheap in here, perhaps except the center of Prague : )
  It is really true that beer is cheaper than water! (approximately: 3 dl water - almost 1 EURO, 3 dl beer - half EURO)
  I remember my father (he used to run a small folklore pension in the South Bohemia - in the western CZ) was talking about foreigners coming (Dutch and British) to his pension for vacations.
  South Bohemia has really awesome landscapes or, if you like good wine, let's meet in the South Moravia (in the east-south of CZ - cities Znojmo, Lednice) where there's a tradition of "wine cellar" tourism : )

  That's all I can say to your question : ) Hope it was helpful a little bit.

  Yours
  Lenn : .

    Hey, I wanted to know if this is true or not.  Yesterday, I was talking to a British friend about vacations, and the lack of them here.  Well, except for the ones who rule who are permanently on it.  Anyhoo, he spontaneously said that CZ has become a "British tourist trap" and that many go there on holiday for the cheap things, and yes, he mentioned beer (but he did not say that it was cheaper than water.....lol).  Now, this man knows nothing about KJ or that I like this band.  
     
    Really, I thought this fondness was a Coleman eccentricity.  CZ is beautiful, no doubt, and I would just love to see it because of Kafka (inherent contradiction, I know, but be gentle with me.....lol), though I had no idea it was becoming very friendly to tourism???  
     
    So is this true, is CZ a tourist place for peeps on holiday or was he just messing with me?  He looked sincerely pissed.....lol

      Hell, I missed that when I was living there!

      But I would never forget the amazing variety of pretty good sandwich breads...
      (I suppose the basic recipe comes from the UK...??? Dunno.)

      Never buy sandwich bread in CZ, it's all awful, bleh, ugh, fuj : /
