[kj] Jaz Pies and CZ

[Brendan Quinn]

Some ppl in banking told me they had a sneaking suspicion that the Euro was
created for that very reason…to crush the $USD. (Sounds like something Jaz
would be cheering on ;)

 

I have no clue personally, suppose it’s working if that was the case. Having
said that, without the subprime mess (predatory lending / speculation /
housing bubble), and the Bush govt borrowing so massively for the war
effort, and the results of the war effort itself including oil going through
the roof, the USD might not have done too badly. 

 

And it begs the question, if a power-shift occurs, are we going to be any
better off?

I personally reckon we should all put Jamaica in charge of the world ;)

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! 

 

k.w.

San Diego

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 : /
