Met so many US travelers during my trips! All interesting, smart and kind. My guess is that the chunk of population that doesn't fall into those stereotypes is larger than we imagine but less "sounding" than the stereotype ones. Other possibility is that open minded people are more willing to travel around the world than the other ones. But anyway, stereotypes suck!
@@ruipeixoto5737 I think your second guess is most likely correct, I think I've heard that explanation from more people - that the Americans who do travel outside the country are more open-minded/learn to be more open-minded. Frankly I think that applies to any nation - it's just that in a lot of other places, travelling abroad is a lot easier, sometimes even nearly accidental!
And remember that Americans have different groups of people. Asian Americans have a different mindset than white Americans and others. American tourists aren’t one monolith
Crazy that people do not look up before something about the country where they are going and how can they know the right direction without some names of places? Are they just going by GPS whole day and take photos to instagram?
Do you think that in a few decades, trdelnik will actually technically become traditional because they are so widespread now already? 🤔 Interesting to consider what it means to be traditional!
I doubt it, the trdelnik is sold only in Prague tourists area, you can not buy it out of the Prag tourist Disneyland. I would say majority of czech people have never taste it.
@@bohuslavkanovsky4345 That's a good point! My Czech parents (we live in the U.S. now) have never heard of it either, I guess since they lived nowhere near Prague also :P
Left that amazing city yesterday, still in 🇨🇿 Could have guessed most right, except the politicians. The bill could have tricked me for a few seconds but the Cyrillic characters would ring the bell for sure. I know CENTRAL Europeans don't use them! And last, thank you for the tips, your 3 traditional food places video was the best one, had no Belarus money issues but avoided some unfair exchangers and electronic payment extra fees. Your videos made me decide for 🇨🇿 Prague was amazing, loved Pilsen day trip and Brno is amazing. Sorry Ostrava and others for not going there, but I need good reasons to comeback to this amazing country. 🍻 Na Zdraví!
How about a video about the Video Game culture in Czech Republic & Prague? Perhaps a showcase of potential Video Game museums, arcades, local shops or even Video Game studios and what games they have done?
@@Winxby Beat Saber is modern game which most of Czechs never heard about, but everyone heard about Mafia, Operation Flashpoint, Vietcong and many other Czech famous games.
You guys are such an inspiration to me! I’ve just got back from a 2 week trip around Poland! My first ever video was Prague and I showed so many things from you videos! And my poland videos are the best I’ve done thanks for all the inspiration keep it going guys
I'm a Czech viewer and I watch your vids on both channels. Gotta say during the first part of your video, I was telling myself: "Wow, how can the tourists know so little? They don't even know they're crossing the most famous bridge in our country? Wtf?" And then you pulled out the belarusian ruble out of your pocket and asked about the rates. Man. I was focusing on the rates so much it didn't even occur to me you're not showing them Czech crowns either. :DD And I felt so dumb afterwards. So yeah, I'm no longer judging tourists in the first part of your video lmao.
It's good not to judge. Czechia is a small country in Central Europe. The Czech language is a small branch of the Slavic language tree. I live in the state of Illinois in the central U.S. (population about 12 million). If I went to Chicago (population about 2.7 million) and asked foreign (or even many out of state) tourists who the governor of Illinois or the mayor was I would be shocked if they could tell me. If Illinois had its own currency (likely not with Cyrillic letters), I wouldn't expect them to know the exchange rate. The same would apply to the Illinois language if there was one. Could they name another city in Illinois? Perhaps not. Many tourists come just to see the views or experience the local atmosphere but not accumulate facts or be an amateur tour guide.
Czechia.. I was a tourist guide in Prague, and it is very much down to the individual people. Some barely had an idea where they are, others learned the guidebook by heart and were discussing historical dates and events with me. Though those tourists that are absolutely clueless are easier to handle actually.. The most amusing ones were an elderly couple from Germany: when we were in the Letná beergarden with its nice view over the historical city, the lady asked me with slightly disgusted expression: "Well, how did you end up - HERE?!" I was so surprised, I didn't even know what to say. :D But her husband at the end gave me one of the bigger tips I had..
Hey, I was in Prague 2 weeks ago and we used everything we learned from your videos. And it was great! We only needed cash for the public toilet, but I got to drink šnyt beer and we saw the dumb roundabout.
Hey Honest Guide! First of all, I wanna say Thank you for all your videos. They are very very helpful especially for those who are moving Prague. Keep up the good work! I am from Tajikistan. And I am going to go to Prague next month hopefully as a student. I hope I will be able to see you guys in Prague. I am looking forward meeting you guys!
This video is giving me anxiety that some random dude will ambush me and ask me about the coutry that I am currently visiting and gonna embarras me. I don't wanna have to prepare and study local politicians next time I am on holiday.
THANK YOU for showing the knowledgeable ones too. I'm somewhat pissed of the videos that only pick the ignorant ones, especially those made in USA (so in no way related to this channel). I know that there are people who answer at least adequately, but we rarely see them. I can really use some faith in human knowledge restored. Really impressive answers from some tourists. I don't know if I could name any other czech politican besides Vaclav Havel, and probably couldn't nail all the neighbouring countries either. And I believe the only city I could name in CR is Brno, thanks to this channel.
My dear friend, Nikola Tesla was ortodox Serb. He was only born in Austrian Empire in the small village Smiljan which is now the part of the present Croatia.
Janek & Honza! I'm in Prague right now and just today I've come across so many places from your videos. Thanks for your work. Would've been fun to run into you guys. I would've picked out the fake money for sure! Though thusfar I've done everything by card...
I live in Florida where there are a lot of bridges. It's strange for a local to not know the names of the bridges they're crossing. People from other parts of the country usually never learn them and think it's weird that we know all the names. Glad to know there's other parts of the world that are the same.
In this case they were walking on the most famous bridge in Prague, named after the guy on the 100 CZK bill he was showing them, so he expected them to know that name
We went to Plzen and then to Prague for a 5 day holiday in April, we've been huge fans of you for years, we checked in at Hotel Melentrich then stepped out and saw you both filming! we introduced ourselves and told you what huge fans we were of your channel, I'm guessing you were stressed as you barely gave us any acknowledgement, such a shame as we're patreons. I wish you were as friendly in real life as you are on the videos
I know many things about Czech Republic, and Prague, but I will just mention something maybe atypical for these times: "Arabela", "Návstevníci", Vaclav Havel, The Prague Spring, The Velvet Revolution, Československo postage stamp collections, the Barum pneumatic mattress, Czech tourists at the Black Sea in the 1980s, and many other things :)
I didn't know the answers to most of these, but I still had a nice time there. The same goes for any tourists in any town. But we didn't get ripped off.
I’m Slovakian and live in the Uk 🇬🇧,but when I’m going to Czech Republic I do always have to be sure I’m not scammed by exchange offices or restaurants coz they do like to scam everyone you start speaking English but when you start using Slovakian or Czech language they definitely change all of the prices and they also stop trying to scam you but thank you for all your videos !!!!❤️🙏❤️ you help us so much
For the rubles, I think many people don't pay attention to foreign alphabets unless prompted, especially for Americans who are separated from so many other countries and typically have little exposure to other cultures.
while they dont know much, at least your visitors all seemed really nice. Especially guy who was forced to be there. His honesty as strangely satisfying.
Fun video! I knew the answers to some of the questions, but others I had no clue. For example, I knew immediately that the 1000 "Crown" bill wasn't Czech, because the Czech language doesn't use that alphabet. I know the names of a few Czech cities, but just like the river Vltava, I don't know how to pronounce them. I know trdelnik is not traditional Czech, but neither is goulash, . . . . it's Hungarian. The Czech version is much different, and maybe even more delicious! I know the bordering countries, but I don't know the name of the Czech prime minister. I do know that presently, the Czech Republic has the revolving leadership of the EU. So maybe I get a 50-50 score.😄 My favorite Czech beer is Kozel Black. Sure wish we could get it here in the Netherlands! Note: If you say "Velmi rád vás poznávám" (Very nice to meet you), Czech people will be politely amused, and they will love you, even if your pronunciation isn't the best!
Janek, I think some people thought perhaps you were a scammer 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 so they walked past you !! Thanks for showing us a close-up of the fake note, but it would have been better if you showed both sides - I don't think you have ever shown it before - well not up close, anyway 😎😀💯✔
It's actually very sad for me as Czech that people from other countries know only hockey or football players. I understand it, but I don't consider sportmen as someone important for our culture and history. Most of that names tourists are saying are people we already forgot, like Nedvěd etc....how can young people from US or UK know those names? I am 30 years old native Czech and I heard about them like 15 years ago for the last time. 😀
Many famous Czechs ended as an Americans, for exemple: The director of movie Amadeus, the biggest female tennis player of all time, one of the best male tennis players of all time , former U.S. Secretary of state (recently deceased)...
I'll be honest, I watch your videos a lot but I could maybe answe two or three questions! Sorry! But I do love Prague! I'm here right now and your videos helped a lot!!!!
Glad you have shown also tourists knowing something. This is rather funny video than showing reality. Tbh we/czech ppl wouldnt know probably how money in venezuala look like, or what river is going through warsaw, amsterdam, rio etc or politician. Next time Janek try to show also czech people and their answers because that would tell us probably more. I didnt know the answer about who was on 100czk bill too.
Something that's somehow irrelevant but relevant at the same time. Dude, I was watching the video that Scambaiter did with the others about the people's phone center. I know you guys are dealing with different kinds of scams and you're dedicated to your city but I'd love to see y'all teaming up!
I’m going to Prague the 16 of September …hope to meet/see u on the streets of Prague …your doing a amazing work and I really enjoy watching your videos 😊
Your videos are so much fun ❤️ been to Prague once after watching lots of your videos and would love to visit again..this time other places in Czech republic ❤️
I wish i was there while you was finding tourists for interview, man for one month you would be surprised even how i much my knowledge of CZ language is haha
Teach us!!! You’re a great teacher! I’ll admit that I was clueless when I went to Prague- I was living in Poland and only spent about a day and a half in Prague. I wish I had educated myself more before my visit. I’m hoping to visit again soon! I’m going to buy your book and carry it around with a sharpie and hope that I run into you and can get you to sign my copy! 😁 Otherwise I’ll just hold it up and hiss if I run into scammers 😂 Trdlnk is still delicious, even if it’s not traditional!
I'll visit Prague in a week :D but I follow u from about 4 months , I really like your videos and their format :D and yes.. I am romanian :D (an honest developer :D )
I'm sorry but Nikola Tesla was Serbian from Austro-Hungary that lived in The USA. Croatia didn't even exist as a country back then. His father was an ethnic Serb, and an Orthodox priest for Serbian Orthodox Church. He was burried with song that he requested that is "Tamo daleko" which is a song about Serbian soldiers from WW1.
Yikes... this video felt pretty mean spirited and antagonizing to these tourists. I think the hosts' attitude and general manner of speaking works well when interacting with scammers on the streets (because who doesn't like throwing sass at scammers), but when he carries over this type of confrontational and sassy attitude to tourists I just feel really bad. Also- I didn't know crap about Czechia the first two days I arrived. And then I learned- because that's the point of traveling. Don't need to attack someone over it
5:57 even if you are not into HG videos, you should notice that the 1000 bill has Cyrillic letters on it, and the Czech language uses the Latin alphabet instead
At the risk of making myself sound stupid, is there a fine for public drinking in Prague? You never answered that, and I'm not sure if that was a trick question. I'm sure there must be, but is it enforced much? From my experience in most places in Europe, though there probably are laws about such things, compared to most places in the US, it always seemed to me that as long as you weren't causing any trouble, or being a public nuisance, nobody, including the police, seemed to really care if you were drinking in public. It seems that the laws are there for when you are a problem, they can choose to nail you on it. Where here, with the exception of Las Vegas, New Orleans, etc., people are just more uptight in general.
They actually do talk about it in one of their older videos. Check their vid called "EVERY TOURIST BREAKS THESE LAWS!" Apparently it's not forbidden everywhere but there are 800+ locations in a whole Prague where it's forbidden, mainly in the centre. And you can actually get fined. Or at least Janek said their Korean friends had to pay like 50 euros because police caught them drinking beer in can in public.
It's banned in some specific places, but there is so many of them that almost noone knows where it is banned and where not and you are right that police mostly doesn't care if you don't drink too much and don't make any problems.
@@Pidalin right. This is splitting hairs, maybe. I'm sure in reality things are not that much different in most places, and maybe I just didn't express this properly, but in the US, a lot of this is imbedded in our culture due to our history of a lot of this puritanical nonsense, but there are a lot of unspoken societal norms that we are just accustomed to, and are expected when it comes to certain things like alcohol or sex, whether we agree with them or not. Regardless of laws, there are a lot of unwritten rules about this is ok at these times, in these places, under these circumstances, but not during these other times, places, or circumstances. Sometimes they have practical purposes, but sometimes they're just an arbitrary repressive means of control and maintaining a false sense of propriety, and not that we all follow them, but we all still exist with in their confines. I'm sure that's pretty normal to all cultures, but these ones are specific to ours. Regardless, for us, standing on a public street holding a beer, we're preconditioned to feel like we're doing something wrong, and should be worried about getting caught doing it. So, as stupid as it is, when we can, we feel like excited and rebellious children that are getting away with something that we shouldn't be.
During my visits to Prague, I didn't see anyone staggering around the streets drinking cans of beer, but groups of people standing outside bars and restaurants drinking beer were everywhere.
Please, is it possible to get/book a dormitory temporarily (e.g. University Domitories in Brno) as an Employee/Worker (not student) coming into Czech Republic by November?
It depends on the station. The newer ones has the new escalators installe, which obey new regulations and are slow. Too slow, in my opinion. The old russian escalators are the fast ones :D
Thank you Honzavic, you did the best part in this Video. Q: Which Cities are linked by CharlesIV and the Charles Bridge (starting point)? A: You are both invited to come. Tipp its not Luxemburg, although Charles came out of this family.
About that fake note question, you might not realize it, but you're basically doing a magic trick. In that situation, most people will subconciously percieve you as the authority and will go along, as long as it's acceptable. When you say "this is the Czech 1000 bill, RIGHT? Do you agree?" They aren't even really looking at the note, they are just being yes men, because of the situation.

I am 30 years old native Czech and I heard about them like 15 years ago for the last time. 😀
Knowing Jágr you are fine, 90% of the population will love you anyway. :) If you want the last 10%, just remember Jiri Prochazka, UFC champion. :D
@@ch3rt. Hi, Czech here, who the hell is Prochazka? :D :D
@@IQEGO ňákej mlátič, to je teď hrozně populární ty různý wrestlingy a podobně
Many famous Czechs ended as an Americans, for exemple: The director of movie Amadeus, the biggest female tennis player of all time, one of the best male tennis players of all time , former U.S. Secretary of state (recently deceased)...
I'll be honest, I watch your videos a lot but I could maybe answe two or three questions! Sorry! But I do love Prague! I'm here right now and your videos helped a lot!!!!
Any Czech celebrity?
Yes. Honza & Janek 😆
Glad you have shown also tourists knowing something. This is rather funny video than showing reality. Tbh we/czech ppl wouldnt know probably how money in venezuala look like, or what river is going through warsaw, amsterdam, rio etc or politician. Next time Janek try to show also czech people and their answers because that would tell us probably more. I didnt know the answer about who was on 100czk bill too.
I love the teenager honesty, matching with "The honest Guides".
Me and my sister..will visit Czech next week..and your tips means alot for us😊
oh damn that color grading moment! 😍
In the netherlands is your country also famous for polkas and pochods a lot of marching bands playing marches from your country .
05:17 BEST PART!🤣
Janek I have to correct you, Nikola Tesla was only born in Croatia, he is Serbian. His parents are Serbian. Best regards 😊
Something that's somehow irrelevant but relevant at the same time. Dude, I was watching the video that Scambaiter did with the others about the people's phone center. I know you guys are dealing with different kinds of scams and you're dedicated to your city but I'd love to see y'all teaming up!
Pinoy pride!!!! I did had the early hunch that he was Filipino.
Oh... For me the most traditional and world wide famous thing is Your Ceska Zbrojovka company. Your guns are awesome
09:25 What is going on behind with the woman and umbrella??????
thats a guide lady, it is typical for those guides to hold umbrellas so everyone in group is following her
@@peterinvestor oh ok thank you for letting me know!
czech celebrities :) Silvia Saint , Laura Lion etc.
Little Caprice.
Sounds like porn stars
New fear unlocked 😅😅 ( will be reading about countries now before visiting the place even😅😅)
I’m going to Prague the 16 of September …hope to meet/see u on the streets of Prague …your doing a amazing work and I really enjoy watching your videos 😊
Your videos are so much fun ❤️ been to Prague once after watching lots of your videos and would love to visit again..this time other places in Czech republic ❤️
This was the best one to date. Well done!
I wish i was there while you was finding tourists for interview, man for one month you would be surprised even how i much my knowledge of CZ language is haha
Hope to see you guys about this week while I'm here!!
Teach us!!! You’re a great teacher!
I’ll admit that I was clueless when I went to Prague- I was living in Poland and only spent about a day and a half in Prague. I wish I had educated myself more before my visit. I’m hoping to visit again soon!
I’m going to buy your book and carry it around with a sharpie and hope that I run into you and can get you to sign my copy! 😁 Otherwise I’ll just hold it up and hiss if I run into scammers 😂
Trdlnk is still delicious, even if it’s not traditional!
I'll visit Prague in a week :D but I follow u from about 4 months , I really like your videos and their format :D and yes.. I am romanian :D (an honest developer :D )
I'm sorry but Nikola Tesla was Serbian from Austro-Hungary that lived in The USA. Croatia didn't even exist as a country back then. His father was an ethnic Serb, and an Orthodox priest for Serbian Orthodox Church. He was burried with song that he requested that is "Tamo daleko" which is a song about Serbian soldiers from WW1.
Yikes... this video felt pretty mean spirited and antagonizing to these tourists. I think the hosts' attitude and general manner of speaking works well when interacting with scammers on the streets (because who doesn't like throwing sass at scammers), but when he carries over this type of confrontational and sassy attitude to tourists I just feel really bad. Also- I didn't know crap about Czechia the first two days I arrived. And then I learned- because that's the point of traveling. Don't need to attack someone over it
My main goal is to come to prague and search for Honest guide so he can ask me questions and i can answer because i have watch all his videos
Nikola Tesla it's NOT Croatian. He is SERBIAN
Maybe they were thinking of Mate Rimac 🤔
@@martomaster NO! They think of Nikola Tesla
5:57 even if you are not into HG videos, you should notice that the 1000 bill has Cyrillic letters on it, and the Czech language uses the Latin alphabet instead
This was a fun one guys!!
1:08 The french dude doing french things. 😁
I'd love to visit Prague, or Czech Republic anyway even though I know nothing about the country. Well, as a Finn I know most of their hockey players.
At the risk of making myself sound stupid, is there a fine for public drinking in Prague? You never answered that, and I'm not sure if that was a trick question. I'm sure there must be, but is it enforced much? From my experience in most places in Europe, though there probably are laws about such things, compared to most places in the US, it always seemed to me that as long as you weren't causing any trouble, or being a public nuisance, nobody, including the police, seemed to really care if you were drinking in public. It seems that the laws are there for when you are a problem, they can choose to nail you on it. Where here, with the exception of Las Vegas, New Orleans, etc., people are just more uptight in general.
They actually do talk about it in one of their older videos. Check their vid called "EVERY TOURIST BREAKS THESE LAWS!" Apparently it's not forbidden everywhere but there are 800+ locations in a whole Prague where it's forbidden, mainly in the centre. And you can actually get fined. Or at least Janek said their Korean friends had to pay like 50 euros because police caught them drinking beer in can in public.
It's forbidden only in some areas.
It's banned in some specific places, but there is so many of them that almost noone knows where it is banned and where not and you are right that police mostly doesn't care if you don't drink too much and don't make any problems.
@@Pidalin right. This is splitting hairs, maybe. I'm sure in reality things are not that much different in most places, and maybe I just didn't express this properly, but in the US, a lot of this is imbedded in our culture due to our history of a lot of this puritanical nonsense, but there are a lot of unspoken societal norms that we are just accustomed to, and are expected when it comes to certain things like alcohol or sex, whether we agree with them or not. Regardless of laws, there are a lot of unwritten rules about this is ok at these times, in these places, under these circumstances, but not during these other times, places, or circumstances. Sometimes they have practical purposes, but sometimes they're just an arbitrary repressive means of control and maintaining a false sense of propriety, and not that we all follow them, but we all still exist with in their confines. I'm sure that's pretty normal to all cultures, but these ones are specific to ours. Regardless, for us, standing on a public street holding a beer, we're preconditioned to feel like we're doing something wrong, and should be worried about getting caught doing it. So, as stupid as it is, when we can, we feel like excited and rebellious children that are getting away with something that we shouldn't be.
During my visits to Prague, I didn't see anyone staggering around the streets drinking cans of beer, but groups of people standing outside bars and restaurants drinking beer were everywhere.
My word, it chybějící 😒.
Good video, love that you showed both knowledgeable and less so, ...
very honest.
Please, is it possible to get/book a dormitory temporarily (e.g. University Domitories in Brno) as an Employee/Worker (not student) coming into Czech Republic by November?
13:10 Tesla is a Serb. Ignoring that, a decent job, Janek!
Well, actually I know a Czech politician, even personally. Vít Jedlička. This guy is a legend.
I will visit Czech Republic, because of your videos. Keep up the great work.
Not sure if it is traditional, but the best Palatschinken I ever had was in Prague! It was at the proudly Ikea-free Funki Punki.
It depends on the station. The newer ones has the new escalators installe, which obey new regulations and are slow. Too slow, in my opinion. The old russian escalators are the fast ones :D
Very nice I like your video style!!
Thanks for this great upload :D (I am living in Prague)
To be fair most Czechs don't know who are the people on our paper cash
There are their names written on them! And Karel IV. and Božena Němcová would be known for most Czechs, I hope.
Thank you Honzavic, you did the best part in this Video.
Q: Which Cities are linked by CharlesIV and the Charles Bridge (starting point)?
A: You are both invited to come. Tipp its not Luxemburg, although Charles came out of this family.
Legend says that the guy who did not want to go there, is actually still there.
About that fake note question, you might not realize it, but you're basically doing a magic trick. In that situation, most people will subconciously percieve you as the authority and will go along, as long as it's acceptable. When you say "this is the Czech 1000 bill, RIGHT? Do you agree?" They aren't even really looking at the note, they are just being yes men, because of the situation.
Hi, i was in Czech for a week.
Your food and beer is good.
Very good.
4:37 nailed it
i'd be careful calling Tesla a croatian celebrity at the end lol
The German guy complimenting Czech beer is a bigger compliment than you think lmao
I used to work on a cruise ship and when some of our guests asked me where I am from and I told them, they have never heard of the country even though it was one of the stops on their cruise......oh well...
Janek = Great Person
And the other tourists blogs tell people that chimney cakes are traditional czech foods.
