We loved Prague. We visited the city a couple of years ago and we will visit again one day. It is the most European city meaning very diverse and open to visitors.
I identify as European first and Dutch second. Even within a country like the Netherlands people identify as from a certain province, county or city. Never had that feeling. I can travel all around Europe and feel at home.
We (Slovaks) are complaining about everything, our government, culture, neighbour cutting wood in backyard ... But somehow, we miss our home, despite how much we "hate it". But as Peter said, you will never fully integrate, you will feel like you are home, only and only if, you are in your homeland.
I can actually see some similarities between America and Denmark about fakeness. When you go to the barbershop and want a new haircut, they always ask you a million different questions, and sometimes they become very personal by asking about your lifestyle and even uncomfortable questions. It can be an annoying situation at times because you don't want to answer personal questions, but you also don't want to sound rude. This can make it a very awkward situation to be in...
It's interesting that Peter cannot pinpoint interesting things to do in Slovakia, and then you as an American say completely random festival in Myjava. It's cool how differently two people can look at a country. It shows that probably us as Slovak can't really appreciate things in Slovakia. I've same experience as Peter I've used to live in UK and just after that I've come to appreciate Slovakia a lot more. Just few thing: - safety (I'm never afraid to go outside at night, cannot say that about UK) - housing (housing is so so so much better in SK, compared to UK) - everything feels not commercial, at least everywhere apart from Bratislava - at last, life is just good, but I'm biased😀 And at the end, if you want to know what is the most Slovak thing to do. Just say how Slovakia or Slovaks are bad, and then miss it so much. Everything Slovak is bad and everything foreign is good, but after beeing abroad that's not true. I've had this experience with probably everyone who tried to live in different country. Loved the interview, prob most interesting thing I've seen in last few weeks. Keep it up!
To be fair Peter did mention hiking in the mountains as an interesting thing. But yes, I guess you are right. I lived for 12 years in Denmark´s capital Copenhagen. And only when I moved away from there I really appreciated how cool a city it was. Sometimes you have to look at things from a certain distance to appreciate them. I myself have never been in Slovakia, but in 1991 I was in the former Cecoslovakia, but I only visted the part that today is the Czech Republic. So I don´t know a lot about Slovakia. But I do know that it has mountains and that it is a green and beautiful country with a lot of castles. Probably a bit underestimated by foreigners and tourists.
You can say It How It is- older generation; they are literally racists, we are unfortunately the most racist country in EU for a reason… And additionally, I think your opinion about Czech Republic is too focused on Prague when It comes to bohemian lifestyle and liberal orientation. The people outside of Prague are pretty much as conservative as people in Slovakia.
Totally agree with Peter!!!
