Pros and Cons here in Czech Republic

Hi.

Today I was studying alone in a small Café called.. hmm something Mozart and that thought came into my mind - "What are the pros and cons here in Czech Republic?"

Pros

- You can smoke inside almost all the pubs and Cafés, like we could, some years ago, in Portugal.

- Almost everything is chiper when compared to Portugal. Not so much cheaper, but a little bit, for sure. At least the beer, cigarrettes and housing.

- Location. It's really easy to visit some great cities, Czech Republic is really well placed.

- Culture and History. You can find monuments (huge monuments) everywhere... well, not in Ostrava, but everywhere else. I went to Olomouc last Sunday and I was really surprised - how can a small city have so much to show? And I certainly don't have to talk about Prague... this city speaks for itself.

Cons

- I'm Portuguese so I have to say the weather. Jesus, today was so cold... it already feels like Portuguese winter. Next week we'll have, in Ostrava, temperatures around 2 degrees... WTF? It's October!

- The food. Mediterranean food it's the better so I'm used to the best. Czech food is weird, heavy, "untasty"... bad, trust me. I miss so much my mother's soup! I never though I would miss a soup.

- The trains! Talking about it makes me nervous. I went to Prague 2 weeks ago, 9 hours of train travel, 6 and a half of them standing up... unbelievable.

- The weather and the food, again.

-------------------------------------------

As you can see, the balance is quite positive... I just have to cook, wear warmer clothes and use bus instead of train! :p

It's all for today.

Good night and good luck.
