Shock Treatment:With reference to your behaviour in these past few years, I'd like to inform you that more and more people are waking up to the fact that the premise of your beliefs rests on scorn. For example, today more and more performing artists and others are spreading the message, and it seems to me that you're more isolated now than you've ever been. One of your complaints is the practice of affirmative action, usually observed in places where you have recently been, like America and South Africa.

Old Town Square Prague is said to be one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. If you ever have the slightest chance of visiting it, do so. It will be an unforgettable experience. When visiting a country, I want to have the facts beforehand to prepare myself, and it is notoriously difficult to find all the practical info you need, even online at Tripadvisor, Travelwiki, etc. MoneyYou will be needing Czech Koruny (CZK) to pay for things in Prague, since attempting to pay in Euros is often considered an insult and will not be accepted in most places.
Far easier and cost effective is to take your Visa/Mastercard and draw money at a Prague ATM when you need it. Communication If you just want to be able to SMS, enable SMS roaming on your Vodacom SIM by SMSing “ROAMON” to 123. Otherwise, buy a Czech SIM card at the airport for 200 CZK which gives you 200 CZK worth of airtime. Navigation and transportGet yourself an iPhone, seriously.
