FUNNY TIPS ON HOW TO ACT LIKE A LOCAL

BEER, BEER, BEER!!!
Czech Republic is famous for its beer and we are proud of it! We have the best beer (according to us, try it and make your own opinion) and it is cheap too – cheaper than water. Thanks to these facts we have the highest beer consumption in the world: more than 156 litres of beer per capita each year – old people, newborns and dogs included. But don’t call us drunkards, we prefer “beer experts”.

IN RESTAURANTS
It is customary to tip at least 10% in case you are satisfied with the food and service.

IF YOU’RE JUST WALKING THE PRAGUE STREETS
and enjoying the sightseeing, be careful. We’re always in a rush and hurrying, looking neither left nor right… so if you want to save your life, or at least avoid some grumpy faces, you should better get out of our way.

PLEASE, DON’T CALL US A “POST-COMMUNIST COUNTRY”
or an “Eastern-European country”. If you want to locate Czech Republic, we have created a special term for it: “Central Europe”. It actually includes CR, Slovakia and maybe Poland… but sounds better than Eastern. So if you hear us saying something is “the biggest in the Central Europe”, now you understand what it really means.

 HOW ARE YOU? – “FINE, AND YOU?”
Not here! We don’t understand that this question is actually just a polite phrase. Don’t be surprised when you get an honest answer. Sometimes you may learn some interesting insights about us, or be left wishing you never asked.

BEHAVE IN PUBLIC TRANSPORT!
In a bus, tram or metro let the other passengers get out of the door before you enter. It’s also expected to offer your seat to the elderly and pregnant women. And please, don’t shout in public transport, we’re tired (or pissed off) from work, and we don’t have enough energy to share your enthusiasm and good mood.

IF YOU ARE GOING ON A TRIP,
think economically like we do. Prepare a snack or a sandwich at home and eat it outside on a bench – do not worry, nobody would look at you weirdly, we do it as well. The most typical Czech trip sandwich is “řízek” (Schnitzel) between two slices of bread. This just cannot be missing during any of our trips.

CZECH MENU

If you want something for breakfast, go to a bakery (pekárna) and taste a “kobliha” (donut which is missing a hole, filled with chocolate or jam and dusted with sugar on top) or a “koláč” (yeast cake with jam, cream cheese or poppy seeds).

Czech cuisine might be quite heavy for you. The main dish of the day is lunch. We usually eat soup followed by a main course. If you want to taste very typical Czech meals, loosen your pants and order “kachní stehno” (duck thigh), “řízek” (Schnitzel), “guláš” (beef goulash), “vepřo-knedlo-zelo” (pork-dumpling-cabbage), or “svíčková” (beef, dumpling, vegetable cream sauce).

By dinner, get stuck in a pub tasting our famous beer. Do not be shy and try also our delicious snacks. We can only recommend “nakládaný hermelín” (camembert cheese that has been pickled) or “utopenec” (small fat pickled sausage). If your hunger is great, order “tatarák”. Surprised by the huge bowl of raw shaved beef? Believe it or not: it tastes awesome!

SOUVENIRS

In toy stores, look for Krteček (The Little Mole – also available at our Reception); one of the cutest characters from our cartoons, or Igráček, a plastic figure from socialism that is similar to Playmobil. From the same era there are also inflatable Fatra animals (e.g., blue elephant or yellow giraffe) by Czech designer Libuše Niklová. For technical people, we recommend Merkur, building sets similar to Lego that helped with the invention of contact lenses.

Czech is famous for its decorative glass – an interesting collection of decorative glass is on display in our hotel lobby and is available for purchase.soci

Russian matryoshka dolls or ushankas (fur hats) are strictly forbidden! We aren’t Russians! Please remember that. And FYI, locals don’t wear T-shirts like “Czech Drinking Team”, or “Czech Me Out”.

Food lovers should look for Lázeňské oplatky (Spa Wafers) or Hořické trubičky (roll filled with a cream). If you are looking for alcohol, you can’t go wrong with Czech beer or try Becherovka (herbal bitter). Hipsters will like the popular soda Kofola, the cola of the socialist era. You can buy all this in a supermarket.

If you prefer food for thought, try English translations of Czech authors. You may know Kundera, Kafka, Hrabal or Havel, but you might want to try Karel Čapek, coincidentally the inventor of the word “robot”. Creative types might welcome Koh-i-noor stationery, or beads to make your own jewellery.
