Did you just come back from the Czech Republic? Have you ever lived here? Are you living here now? What are your thoughts and experiences? Post them here!

Teresa (Czech Republic), January 9, 2009
Hi, I have already read many comments on my country that were so amazingly nice! People write how much they loved it and things like "it was the best experience of my life". I feel so proud. But still there are some evil tongues so I would like to try to defend my people.

Some people says we're really pesimistic. I won't assert that it's not true. Of course we are a little bit after all that happened to us in the past. I believe most of you know at least a little bit about history of a country which you decided to visit and hopely love as well. And the smiling thing... If we have something to smile about we laugh with all of our heart. However we won't dissimulate just because someone told us to. I also read many times that it's hard to get through us. Well I won't argue about that. You probably won't be our best friend after one day but once you show us that we can trust you, it's forever.

And now about some nicer things. Yes, it's the beer:D. It's true that we're proud. One of the reasons is also that many foreigners love our beer too. But unfortunately one, I think it was a danish girl (sorry if I'm wrong) said how much she hates and that she's bored about us saying that our beer is the best. She said we have never tried anyone elses. I was kinda sad about it. We're so small country and that makes us even prouder of ourselves when we produce something so famous around the world so please don't jugde us and just try to understand.

The languages. English. Ok the older people are from a different time and the younger are learning. I don't get why so many people don't understand that we have nothing in common with English at home we don't need it and outside we always find a way to cummunicate with the locals so I think it's at least understandable that our English is not perfect. But still I think it's a lot similar with other non-English speaking countries. Some of us can speak and some of us can't. That's just how is it. But we try hard. Czech. I know it's one of the hardest language. No one here expects that you could understand or even speak. But you will definitely impress us if you'll know some words or importent phrases:). And it's another thing we're proud about beside beer or beautiful historical Prague - we can speak with such a language! Many foreigners are scared of it:D it's pretty funny when I speak with some of friends and everyone who doesn't understand is like "what the hell...?" and looks at us like we're from a different planet!:D but yes, it's the same when I go outside my coutry, I listen to other people with a very surprised look on my face as well:)

And now the ending. Thanks to everyone who says how are Czech girls the prettiest girls. When I hear it I feel red on my cheeks:D and also thanks to everyone who says how much they love CR, it's nice to know that even someone who wasn't born here feels the same way I do...Czech can be your home no matter who you are.
