It's nice to hear somebody from abroad, talking about the Czechia. We, people here, usually take these things for granted and complain about other things we don't have :) Thank you, made my day
I visited the Czech Republic few months ago and I honestly expected people to be little racist and not open minded as I'm north African and Muslim but the reality was exactly the opposite, very friendly people and younger people are very enthusiastic about differences. Great experience 🖤
Yeah lot"s of mostly older people here are racist. It's maybe because we are post-communist country and we didn't had so much turists here. Yeah Czech republic is atheist country so lot's of people hate almost all religions. It isn't only for muslims. And people here are affraid of muslim immigration because we saw how Germany ended after they opened their hands to miggrants. But most of young people here are more open and they don't care if you are muslim, black etc.
@@kittsu9500 older people are not racist, thei just fear all of new guys, even their own ... rly, trust me. If i moved to another city, older people was suspicious and wary. Just i think more xenofobic, that racist...
Well, if someone makes a racist or other non politicaly correct joke he doesn't mean it for real. It's just a type of black humor people have around here.
It's great to see you being so passionate about your life in Prague, as I think Czech Republic in general is one of the best places to live.. From Vinohrady, Prague 2
Point 6. I must laugh. My parents live about a hour and half far from Prague and always say "why U live so far from here." And tap water, I never thought about that the water can be somewhere not cold. When sommer is very hot, cold shower is always the option for me.
Hi Andrea! I'm another latina living in Prague 😁 and I agree with some of the things you said.. I was shocked especially with the beer gardens hahah now I cannot imagine a life without them 😍🤩😆 Love your vibe, you seem like a pretty cool girl!!😎
What is so shocking about beer gardens? I saw that in all countries where I was, it's just outside pub, nothing special, I saw it from Latvia to Portugal, just everywhere. But ofcourse in other countries it's much more expensive, something like 3 times or even 4 times more expensive than here.
@@Pattipr America is really general word, ofcourse in USA they have strict laws about drinking in public, but I believe most of America (I mean America as continents, not just USA) is normal and they have at least outside sitting in restaurant and all restaurants are serving beer so you can just sit to restaurant outside and it's like beer garden. :-)
This winter was freezing! We got snow every single day until late March I even think we got some heavy snow in April!! And just a couple of days ago we had that hail storm! And temperatures were around 13!!! In July!!! 😭
The insulation of many a Czech home or apartment building that makes them so cozy in winter, works in summer too. You just need to be wary of when to leave windows open and when to keep them shut. If you keep them open wide so long as it’s cooler outside than inside - mostly through the night and early morning - but keep them shut in the heat of midday, it’s possible to maintain tolerable temperature inside without air conditioning. (I find 26 °C tolerable when it’s thirties outside.)
Hello Marek yes! My family in law does that too... But I do find anything above 21 is too warm for us (A/C users) specially since I do have home office and I do cook a lot too! :) Thanks so much for watching!!
@@marekj1100 Yeah, typical Czech is heating to 24°C or something like that. :-D 21°C is nice temperature when you are doing something, but for just sitting it's too low, if you don't want to wear warm cloth in your home.
It's funny cuz I noticed that ppl from "hot" countries tend to do exectlly that!! Anytime I went to air conditioned place somewhere in a tropical/suptropical country, I was freezing! My boyfriend Is from Bahrain and on our stay in Thailand we were fighting over settings of AC - it's like he "absorbed" all the warm from his climat and Is radiating it in cold xD I thouth he Will be more sensitive on cold then me, but He loves the autum temperature of 14-20 degrees... I was complaining it's too cold And He was enjoying in shorts -_- It's Really weird, I Guess since warm Is seen as bad and annoying thing in BH And tropical countries, he always enjoy cold, while CZ ar opposide. I know CZ who ar heating their homes close to 30 degrees in Winter (can be also connected to "pants culture" of cz man though 😂).
Tohle je tak hezké a upřímné video, že mě to úplně vlastenecky zahřálo u srdce. :-) Je ironie, že si občas tak rádi stěžujeme a přitom se tu vlastně máme úplně skvěle. Moc ti za tohle video děkuju a doufám, že budeš u nás v ČR jen a jen spokojená. :-)
Czech people like to complaint all the time. But maybe we have to hear it from someone abroad to realise how lucky we are. Only thing you forget to mention is the almost zero criminality in the streets.
Your videos are gold! :D We Czech people take everything like its just normal, but after watching your videos i have realized how lucky we are to have such an amazing countury! :D I'm glad i found your channel ;D
My first winters in Prague were in the nineteen eighties. Day temperatures were between -10 and -15 degrees C. The first winter, I immediatly went to a shoe shop to buy a pair of padded boots.
Yeah the winters can get cold, there's always a short time when a cold wind comes from Syberia so it can get down to -25°C but that doesn't last long (a few days, at best 2 weeks) usually. The winters the Arepas is talking about are more recent well to be frank it gets cold to -10°C through -5°C even during day but overall winters are mild now, it's that part of the cycle in a few years the winters will be colder again and I'm sure Arepas will get a cozy coat too ;-). The same for summers. I don't remember the period if it's like 10 year long or 20 year. Not sure about how long but weather patterns cycle.
Yeah, because of the global warming are our winters warmer. In the last 20 years the average temperature got higher by 2C in winter. So in 1980s it was much more normal.
Thank you Andrea for saying in summary all the good stuff of what foreigners do usually like about the Czech republic.. It is just kind to hear positive words about my homeland. Anyway sometimes Czechs are grumpy as well anyway I am afraid!? ;) :D Have a good time.
Jiří Kozel oh thanks for watching! I think we all have to deal with a lot of negativity in our day to day! It’s important to remind us all of the good things :)

Hi Andrea, wow, your pronunciation of Czech words is so good! I am glad you like it here. I look forward seeing more videos from you. Maybe something about your homeland ;)
Hi Andrea, thank you very much for a such great video. This is why I love Prague as well. I am currently living in The Netherlands but Prague I miss. My beloved half, English. Was very much in agreement with you about the food. He just loves to eat our food. I am saying ours as I have seen your last name Kvapil, so my best guess is that your are ours anyway ❤️. One of my favourite spots was Grosseto. All the best and happy live in Prague.
Actually beer garden is supposed to be an outside part of restaurant, and is only very rarely standing apart. Regarding the summertime activities, when not counting barbequeing sausages (wich is a thing) Czech Republic is landlocked, but there are MANY watter-bodies, like some of the major European rivers, lakes, damms (Vltavian cascade is possible to ride on ship from Prague up to Lipno damm), and ponds (Třeboň region is famous for its watter-bodies and fishes). So, technicaly, "no sea" is true, but czech people tend to LOVE watter activities even more because of it. Regarding tap watter - the temperature is simply because of how the pipes are build into streets and buildings, and how isolated. The watter is SAFE, but generaly it does not hurt to DO some basic filtering, because Prague pipes are quite old and sometimes pipes deliver a bit of SAND from the faucet. I do prefer either filtering jug, or filter fashioned inside the faucet. I mean - the water is fine, but it does not hurt to go for the safe side... BTW, not sure how others, but I would love similar video about a country/city in Venezuela, where your famili lives - so if you plan to go there for a reunion sometimes, here is a sugestion for topic... :D
Hello Martin thanks for watching and taking the time to write me a comment I really appreciate it XD!.. I'll soon be going to Caracas (August) so you can expect some super fun videos like this one about it!!!
Oh yeah there have been pretty mild winters in the last say 10 years. In like 2009 or 2010 there was a doozy. The sidewalks were covered with some 20 cm thick sheet of compacted snow with a cover of ice. Temps were way down somewhere around -10C even during the day. And it was like that for like 2 months straight. Honestly that kind of winter used to be a normal thing here like 10-15 years ago. And they dispute global warming.....right. Not that Im complaining, I mean whats the use of a snowy winter in the city...
@@ArepasforDinner Well then you sure are a lot more optimistic person the myself. Whether it´s a hot summer or a cold winter I always end up complaining about ""the bloody weather" :-D
I love your videos, good job! However, talking about doctor appointments - you HAVE to wait at almost every appointment you have. Of course there are some exceptions (it depends on specific medic you visit) but basically you have to wait around 1-2 hoours. Sometimes longer. :-))
Wow no!! No way! I haven’t encounter that at all. Maybe I’ve being lucky but trust me when I tell you I have at least one appointment a week!:. (My health as decay so bad since moving here we don’t know why) but perhaps is going with or without appointment the issue? Idk
Well, I'm from central Moravia and I would never want to live in Prague. It's just too noisy. By the way, you should visit smaller towns and villages. They are completely different from Prague.
Taky jsem něchtěl, ale bydlím tu 10 let a záleží kde bydlíš. Já na okraji Prahy (konečná metra) a klid tu je víc jak v mojí rodné vesnici. Žádná pila, sekačka, podomácku vyrobený motorky, jen poslední roky se tu usadili sovy a každý rok tu v noci pískaj mladý... Aspoň, že zajíci jsou potichu. Jo a bydlím v bytovce, ne domku. ;-)
Patricia Knauss I did one more or less called “what nobody tells you about Prague” but yes I can def do one in the future. Haha we will see I don’t cope very good with angry comments and those videos tend to generate a few jaja
As a visitor I liked the food too, but it is very heavy. Not a great place for vegetarians when I visited my relatives in the 90s, but I understand it is getting better.
Oh no. It’s horrible for vegetarians and tbh I don’t like summer here specially because the food doesn’t really change. And the food is sooo much winter food!!
Hello, Andrea, congrats to your video. It gives us, Praguers, nice opportunity to see us from outside. Keep it up! Also I would like to tell you that you are one of the most beautiful woman I ever see... at least on youtube :-) I fell in love with your voice. :-) Last thing is about weather. Please, notice that the weather as you experience here for last two years is really not common for Czech Republic. It is climate change or what, normal weather is much more wetter and colder - just as it is now (start of June 20). So I wish you many further nice experiences with Czech. Have a nice time.
Hi Andrea. I like your videos. I am also latino and I live in Prague for 7 months now. I was so surprised that even in February I was hot here 😂😅 I love mountains-
@@qwe5qwe566 I am originaly from Prague and living in central Bohemian region, freezing (except nights) is mostly max few days in winter and rest of winter is something like +5°C :-)
@@Pidalin But just last few years. For example January 2014 it was -10 and during the night -17 for several days in a row. I feel very bad about these warm winters. It is not good... :-/ (And I am from PRG)
Oh I can’t speak for all Czech Republic but Prague is very very dry. If you are in a new building your clothes will be dry in a couple of hours or less 😱
yeah, humidity in my country is above 80%, in winter and autumn about 85-95%, just normal, this is very dangerous in winter, and you must keep clothes dry!
Praha - 1,309 miliónov obyvateľov, niečo okolo osminy celého Česka, a niečo málo viac než pätina obyvateľov susedného Slovenska, kde bývam. Bývam v Martine, 55.000 obyvateľov. A ona mi tu ide hovoriť, že 1,309 milióna je "celkom malé mesto" :D Ale zase na americké a španielske pomery už hej.
Však se podívej na doslova na skoro jakoukoliv evropskou metropoli. Praha nebo Bratislava jsou proti tomu prd ve větru. Berlín, Vídeň, Madrid, Varšava...Pro ženskou, co žila v Miami je tohle středisková vesnička.
@@petrskalak5070 Jako nevím no, Miami je bez aglomerace teda o dost menší než Praha, ale samozřejmě oni tam mají větší suburbs než je tady zvykem. Varšava taky nic moc, na to, že je to hlavní město skoro 40 milionový země, velikostně skoro stejná jako Praha, takže lol. Madrid, Berlín už jsou trošku jinde, nicméně oproti třeba Londýnu jsou to taky vesničky. Co se týče Vídně, tak ta je taky porovnatelná s Prahou, minimálně rozlohou je menší, ale vyhrává na počet obyvatel. Zato zbytek Rakouskou jsou vesničky i oproti Česku.
Nightlife? IN PRAGUE? Nooo, maybe Friday evening, but the other days good luck, although I was there in January, so maybe summer is better. And Prague is an expensive city, come anywhere else and you'll see what cheap drinks look like :)
@@ArepasforDinner I mean anywhere else in the Czech Republic, in the countryside, well anyway Prague is expensive for the Czechs coming from other parts of the country. For example rents can be more than twice as much as rents in other cities here.
Try to find potraviny owned by czech person. Everything is vietnamese and we love them. During communism we had exchange tours with Vietnam and since then, Cz is golden path for them. There are over 70,000 of them here. they work harder than any czech I know tho.
Maybe she's speaking from her past living experience? Miami metropolitan population: 6.11 Million people. Prague metropolitan population: 1.32 Million people. So yeah it's large, but smaller than Miami relatively speaking.
To že pochází z Maďarska neznamená že to není typické české jídlo. O spagetach v Itálii taky nikdo neříká že to je čínské jídlo, protože nudle vynalezly Číňani. A co třeba hamburger nebo pizza v USA. A bramboráky taky nejsou, protože brambory jsou z Ameriky 🤣
@@ArepasforDinner Oh, it was not written in a bad way. Compared to other cities, it is truly small, i just found funny, that city with such history is still relativly small :D
Well the doctor's appointment is weird because I have exactly the opposite experience. You get your appointment much quicker than you would get for example in Sydney, but once waiting in the waiting room it sometime takes hours. It's never been on time for me tbh. Public transport might be good reliable and convenient unfortunately especially in summer they still don't have air con and a lot of people don't use deodorant so it's disgusting. The weather is not as it used to be. When I left Czech 9 years ago one morning was -32 in Prague and snow was literally everywhere. It got much warmer in last 8 years. I love how you start with I'm originally from Venezuela. It's so obvious you don't even have to mention it. But don't take it the wrong way I love your accent!

@@ArepasforDinner This is terribly simplified and terribly generalized. Even during communism, interesting buildings were built. Not all architects were red fanatics. I don't want to defend the Bolshevik era, but sometimes it is exaggerated and everything is thrown on commies...
@@ArepasforDinner By the way, panelaks are not just the domain of the former Eastern bloc. They are also to be found elsewhere. The difference is that in Western countries they have fallen due to lucrative land or they simply have more decorative elements, roofs, etc ... they look more like houses than ... (as we say) rabbit houses. :)
@@Sklepmistr99 Are you dislexic ...? She said that '' communist never build anything historical '' and she is 100 % right . What ever they build is post 1948 that is not considered as historical architecture . Baroque , Rococo or Art Nouveau in Prague has nothing to do with communist era

No matter your friends or relatives like it or not :) It's the matter of custom - the more you use it the more you get used to it :) Would you use The Croatian Republic or just Croatia?

Was very much in agreement with you about the food. He just loves to eat our food. I am saying ours as I have seen your last name Kvapil, so my best guess is that your are ours anyway ❤️. One of my favourite spots was Grosseto. All the best and happy live in Prague.
Actually beer garden is supposed to be an outside part of restaurant, and is only very rarely standing apart.
Regarding the summertime activities, when not counting barbequeing sausages (wich is a thing) Czech Republic is landlocked, but there are MANY watter-bodies, like some of the major European rivers, lakes, damms (Vltavian cascade is possible to ride on ship from Prague up to Lipno damm), and ponds (Třeboň region is famous for its watter-bodies and fishes). So, technicaly, "no sea" is true, but czech people tend to LOVE watter activities even more because of it.
Regarding tap watter - the temperature is simply because of how the pipes are build into streets and buildings, and how isolated. The watter is SAFE, but generaly it does not hurt to DO some basic filtering, because Prague pipes are quite old and sometimes pipes deliver a bit of SAND from the faucet. I do prefer either filtering jug, or filter fashioned inside the faucet. I mean - the water is fine, but it does not hurt to go for the safe side... BTW, not sure how others, but I would love similar video about a country/city in Venezuela, where your famili lives - so if you plan to go there for a reunion sometimes, here is a sugestion for topic... :D
Hello Martin thanks for watching and taking the time to write me a comment I really appreciate it XD!.. I'll soon be going to Caracas (August) so you can expect some super fun videos like this one about it!!!
but except rivers, all water bodies are created by human, we don't have natural lakes
@@Pidalin That's not true, we have few glacial lakes. Černé jezero for example.
I love your videos!!!💜
Thank you!!! 🤗
@@ArepasforDinner OK I'll write something in Czech: Jsem z Česka a ráda si poslechnu, jak nás jako Čechy berou ostatní země.
Oh yeah there have been pretty mild winters in the last say 10 years. In like 2009 or 2010 there was a doozy. The sidewalks were covered with some 20 cm thick sheet of compacted snow with a cover of ice. Temps were way down somewhere around -10C even during the day. And it was like that for like 2 months straight. Honestly that kind of winter used to be a normal thing here like 10-15 years ago. And they dispute global warming.....right. Not that Im complaining, I mean whats the use of a snowy winter in the city...
Mmmmm wow I had no idea... Perhaps is that!!.. I honestly enjoy cold weather so can't say I wouldn't have enjoy that
@@ArepasforDinner Well then you sure are a lot more optimistic person the myself. Whether it´s a hot summer or a cold winter I always end up complaining about ""the bloody weather" :-D
I mean yeah you don't need snow in the city, but you do need it in nature and on fields
I love your videos, good job! However, talking about doctor appointments - you HAVE to wait at almost every appointment you have. Of course there are some exceptions (it depends on specific medic you visit) but basically you have to wait around 1-2 hoours. Sometimes longer. :-))
Wow no!! No way! I haven’t encounter that at all. Maybe I’ve being lucky but trust me when I tell you I have at least one appointment a week!:. (My health as decay so bad since moving here we don’t know why) but perhaps is going with or without appointment the issue? Idk
Well, I'm from central Moravia and I would never want to live in Prague. It's just too noisy. By the way, you should visit smaller towns and villages. They are completely different from Prague.
Taky jsem něchtěl, ale bydlím tu 10 let a záleží kde bydlíš. Já na okraji Prahy (konečná metra) a klid tu je víc jak v mojí rodné vesnici. Žádná pila, sekačka, podomácku vyrobený motorky, jen poslední roky se tu usadili sovy a každý rok tu v noci pískaj mladý... Aspoň, že zajíci jsou potichu. Jo a bydlím v bytovce, ne domku. ;-)
I love your videos, thank you very much...Děkuju, krásný!!! Zahřejete to u srdce..
We can travel to Spain in one day of driving which is pretty decent :D
Could you do a video about what you don't like about living in Prague?
Patricia Knauss I did one more or less called “what nobody tells you about Prague” but yes I can def do one in the future. Haha we will see I don’t cope very good with angry comments and those videos tend to generate a few jaja
Patricia after all I did a poll on my Instagram and it looks like everyone wants to see that so!... Next Tuesday I’ll have it for y’all 😋
Thank you. 😊
Czech food is so good! In winter it is only -6C! You are funny :)
I live in Prag! :D I love your videos!
Thank you 🤗🥰
As a visitor I liked the food too, but it is very heavy. Not a great place for vegetarians when I visited my relatives in the 90s, but I understand it is getting better.
Oh no. It’s horrible for vegetarians and tbh I don’t like summer here specially because the food doesn’t really change. And the food is sooo much winter food!!
Hello, Andrea, congrats to your video. It gives us, Praguers, nice opportunity to see us from outside. Keep it up! Also I would like to tell you that you are one of the most beautiful woman I ever see... at least on youtube :-) I fell in love with your voice. :-) Last thing is about weather. Please, notice that the weather as you experience here for last two years is really not common for Czech Republic. It is climate change or what, normal weather is much more wetter and colder - just as it is now (start of June 20). So I wish you many further nice experiences with Czech. Have a nice time.
I went once and fell in love
It’s beautiful
Im from czech republic and it raining 3 days. I thing it not stop today
Hi Andrea. I like your videos. I am also latino and I live in Prague for 7 months now. I was so surprised that even in February I was hot here 😂😅 I love mountains-
Well yes!! Not hot but not freezing... This past winter was a joke... Not sure what to expect for this year since even summer was quite cold haha
Hi , im in US and interested in moving to czech.. any tips on how to move and live there? Thanks! Grazie!!
Man, this makes me miss home
"-6°C is not cold"
average Czech when there is -6°C outside: "Shouldn't they turn off schools in such weather?" :-D
@@qwe5qwe566 I am originaly from Prague and living in central Bohemian region, freezing (except nights) is mostly max few days in winter and rest of winter is something like +5°C :-)
@@Pidalin But just last few years. For example January 2014 it was -10 and during the night -17 for several days in a row. I feel very bad about these warm winters. It is not good... :-/ (And I am from PRG)
Nice video! What about humidity? Is it truth that clothes drying so long in Czech Republic?
Oh I can’t speak for all Czech Republic but Prague is very very dry. If you are in a new building your clothes will be dry in a couple of hours or less 😱
yeah, humidity in my country is above 80%, in winter and autumn about 85-95%, just normal, this is very dangerous in winter, and you must keep clothes dry!
Praha - 1,309 miliónov obyvateľov, niečo okolo osminy celého Česka, a niečo málo viac než pätina obyvateľov susedného Slovenska, kde bývam.
Bývam v Martine, 55.000 obyvateľov. A ona mi tu ide hovoriť, že 1,309 milióna je "celkom malé mesto" :D
Ale zase na americké a španielske pomery už hej.
Však se podívej na doslova na skoro jakoukoliv evropskou metropoli. Praha nebo Bratislava jsou proti tomu prd ve větru. Berlín, Vídeň, Madrid, Varšava...Pro ženskou, co žila v Miami je tohle středisková vesnička.
@@petrskalak5070 Jako nevím no, Miami je bez aglomerace teda o dost menší než Praha, ale samozřejmě oni tam mají větší suburbs než je tady zvykem. Varšava taky nic moc, na to, že je to hlavní město skoro 40 milionový země, velikostně skoro stejná jako Praha, takže lol. Madrid, Berlín už jsou trošku jinde, nicméně oproti třeba Londýnu jsou to taky vesničky. Co se týče Vídně, tak ta je taky porovnatelná s Prahou, minimálně rozlohou je menší, ale vyhrává na počet obyvatel. Zato zbytek Rakouskou jsou vesničky i oproti Česku.
Very beautiful video. Could you add Czech subtitles?
I don’t have the level :(
you guys don't have cold water from the tap? is your tap water warm or something????????
Just Me Hahahaha yes.
Wow, im czech! 🇨🇿
To se máš čím chlubit, ty blbečku.
Hustý 8-) Jsem z Plzně. Jen tak dál. :)
I'm shocked how you use the definition "Shocked"
Im from czech
Nightlife? IN PRAGUE? Nooo, maybe Friday evening, but the other days good luck, although I was there in January, so maybe summer is better. And Prague is an expensive city, come anywhere else and you'll see what cheap drinks look like :)
Expensive? My oh my where is that somewhere else 🤣
@@ArepasforDinner I mean anywhere else in the Czech Republic, in the countryside, well anyway Prague is expensive for the Czechs coming from other parts of the country. For example rents can be more than twice as much as rents in other cities here.
Ou you use very old photos. Our shops and transport are not very old😅
Ciudad pequeňa? En realidad Praga es una de las mas grandes en Europa ;-).
hahaha
@@ArepasforDinner Es verdad, cree a un geógrafo ;-).
Try to find potraviny owned by czech person. Everything is vietnamese and we love them. During communism we had exchange tours with Vietnam and since then, Cz is golden path for them. There are over 70,000 of them here. they work harder than any czech I know tho.
pain_____ agree!! 100%
What about Jarmark?
Beer garden=hospoda
Oooh really?? I never knew thanks!!
Prague is not small city?!
Maybe she's speaking from her past living experience? Miami metropolitan population: 6.11 Million people. Prague metropolitan population: 1.32 Million people. So yeah it's large, but smaller than Miami relatively speaking.
Guláš is from Hungary!
It is, however, the Czech version is very different. Both are delicious though.
To že pochází z Maďarska neznamená že to není typické české jídlo. O spagetach v Itálii taky nikdo neříká že to je čínské jídlo, protože nudle vynalezly Číňani. A co třeba hamburger nebo pizza v USA. A bramboráky taky nejsou, protože brambory jsou z Ameriky 🤣
Capital city of Czech Republic, with ancient history, pride of Europe.
>Small city
Got me good laugh :D
It is not small in importance but in size. That doesn’t make it less important or beautiful.
@@ArepasforDinner Oh, it was not written in a bad way. Compared to other cities, it is truly small, i just found funny, that city with such history is still relativly small :D
@@bloodhat3097 It wasn't small in medieval times 😀
Prague Is not small xd
Everything is relative
@@ArepasforDinner Yes.
And it's good to put everything into context. : D I think in relation to the size of the country, Prague is big.
Dios mío eres más Checa que yo 😂😂 nacido y criado en Moravia
Hahahahaha 😅💜 que buen español tienes
Yeah and you also can get subscribers during night life :D (Luka, bar u Sama)
tam jsem dlouho nebyl :D léta...
Well the doctor's appointment is weird because I have exactly the opposite experience. You get your appointment much quicker than you would get for example in Sydney, but once waiting in the waiting room it sometime takes hours. It's never been on time for me tbh.
Public transport might be good reliable and convenient unfortunately especially in summer they still don't have air con and a lot of people don't use deodorant so it's disgusting.
The weather is not as it used to be. When I left Czech 9 years ago one morning was -32 in Prague and snow was literally everywhere. It got much warmer in last 8 years.
I love how you start with I'm originally from Venezuela. It's so obvious you don't even have to mention it. But don't take it the wrong way I love your accent!
Dobrý den

No creo que las fiestas de praga sean las mejores , para ser honesta es una de las peores que he visto lo mejor esta en argentina, Brasil, seoul ,colombia ibiza,Berlín Tailandia y tulum en México Cancún también lo digo xque he visitado estos lugares
Puede que dependa de donde vayas y con quien. :) Espero que la próxima vez la pases mejor
Prague small city???you must be joking.
Compared to places my home town it's small... And with 1.3 million habitants it's pretty small for a capital
Madrid: 6.6m
London: 8.9m
Paris: 2.1m
tvl videls NewYork? to je cela naše republika v 1 městě, maly město je Brno
Praha je malinká, ale krásná jak nám to ukazuje krásně Andrea, děkujeme, hřeje to u srdce..
@@ArepasforDinner Prague metropolitan area has 2.6 million people
Praha je malé město, musíš porovnávat s městy jako je Londýn, Moskva, Paříž a další...
Prague, mother of cities.
To be fair.. the temperatures in last few years have been consideribly above what they used to be..
True that!
Ja som zo Slovenska a myslím si, že Slovenčina je ťažšia ako Čaština
Ja jsem ze Slovenska a myslím si, že Slovenština je težší jak Čaština
Okey this was terable I hope you understand 😅🤣🤣
hahaha rozumim hahah
I genuinely feel increadible sorry for anyone who says czech food is good. Either it is the first day of your life in this planet earth or you are coming from idk maybe from germany lol what the hell czech food you tired seriously :D
Lol I’m Venezuelan and can say I enjoy eating like EVERYTHING!! Favorite food in the world probably Galician then Corean!.: Czech food comes from very good meat ingredients and long cooking process. But I guess if you are not a foodie you couldn’t know 😂💜👌
why would anyone live in that country
Idk 😂😂😂💜
The houses is not historical, they are just communistic and i hate that. Brno look more like Russia, but Praha is nicer, but i could not live in Praha
The historical is antique. The panelaks are communist. The communist never built the antique ones cause they never do anything pretty
@@ArepasforDinner
This is terribly simplified and terribly generalized. Even during communism, interesting buildings were built. Not all architects were red fanatics.
I don't want to defend the Bolshevik era, but sometimes it is exaggerated and everything is thrown on commies...
@@ArepasforDinner
By the way, panelaks are not just the domain of the former Eastern bloc. They are also to be found elsewhere. The difference is that in Western countries they have fallen due to lucrative land or they simply have more decorative elements, roofs, etc ... they look more like houses than ... (as we say) rabbit houses. :)
@@Sklepmistr99 Are you dislexic ...? She said that '' communist never build anything historical '' and she is 100 % right
. What ever they build is post 1948 that is not considered as historical architecture
. Baroque , Rococo or Art Nouveau in Prague has nothing to do with communist era
Could you use Czechia? Thanks. You do not say Spanish Kingdom, but Spain, so why to use The (you omit the article) Czech Republic?
My friends and relative hate the term. So I try to go by them. I would rather say Czech than Czechia 😂
@@ArepasforDinnerYou can't say Czech as it's adjective, nationality or languege but not the name of the country. Czechia is the only right one word name like Česko in Czech, Tschechien in German, etc. All the languages have one word name for our country so why not English? No matter your friends or relatives like it or not :) It's the matter of custom - the more you use it the more you get used to it :)
Would you use The Croatian Republic or just Croatia? If Croatia, why not Czechia? Almost the same :)
Well let’s do something! You can say Czechia and I’ll say Czech Republic 😅🤗 this country has already change its name too many times in 100 years. I’m fine saying like that and won’t have my husband and his friends rage when using Czechia. We honestly call it cesko so that’s that
@ Protože ta tvoje Čekííía zní jak Čečna. :D A kolikrát už nás chtěli Usáci vybombardovat. :) Takže republika to vždy jistí, je to zavedená značka, kterou všichni znají. Možná bohužel, ale je to tak. Zkrácený název nebyl dlouho ustanoven, tak to tak dopadlo.
the food here are horrible, no taste. you have to compare it with some middle eastern foods and flavor,
Oh you need to watch my video “I order every Czech dish in the menu” I love middle eastern food. But I also don’t expect one to resemble the other 😂
