An unusual event took place on the Brno Dam today. Dragon Boats. Although the races themselves don’t take very long, they attracted dozens of thousands of people. And since almost all of them watched from grass beaches, and since some of the teams were college students, there were crowds of bikini wearing college students drinking, [...]

Here is an idea: there should be a beach in Yellowstone National Park. People would be allowed to walk around naked or lie on their blankets and towels, but they would not be allowed to swim in any of the lakes.
Sounds crazy? This is exactly what is happening in Brno. Here. This former quarry and [...]

TODAY: AMERICANS
#1: We should say I Love You more often: If there is anything I think Americans do way often is say things like “I love you, mom” at any occasion in which a mom behaves like a mom and a child behaves like a child. Let’s say a daughter wants to postpone her curfew, [...]

These are just examples of places in Prague where alcohol drinking should be banned, the iDNES.cz news server writes.

The senior governing coalition party, Civic Democrats, are losing mostly due to healthcare reform, part of which are mandatory fees that Czechs must now pay.

The Czech Institute for Public Health issued the annual statistics related to smoking, alcohol and drug use. It includes stats on teens that shocked me: when it comes to sixteen year old smokers, there are more girls than boys. Plus, girls are catching up in terms of alcohol as well…
Half a decade ago, the numbers [...]

I went to school with supermodel Veronika Varekova. If you haven’t seen her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition photos and if you are from a country where it is allowed to view almost-nude photos, go ahead. To be exact, I went to elementary school with her and the last time I saw her was when [...]

A friend of mine who lives in a brand new neighborhood on the very edge of Brno [her street is a dead-end street and there are just fields and meadows from that spot eastwards] spends one hour travelling to work and back every day. She boards the tram at its terminus and the ride itself [...]

It is a widely known fact that cab drivers in Prague rip people off. They overcharge on airport-to-center rides and they are even worse when it comes to short rides in downtown Prague. One of them even did this to Mayor of Prague Pavel Bem who posed as an unsuspecting tourist.
I am surprised tourists even [...]
