Czech is a main part of the european family Such an amazing country with beautiful landscape and such charming people Wish all czech people only the best for the future from your friends in Germany

Vielen Dank für Ihre Wünsche. Jeder sollte wissen, dass dieses Land und seine Schönheit auch von Deutschen erbaut wurden, die hier jahrhundertelang gelebt haben, und ich bin stolz darauf, dies anzuerkennen. Und Deutsche sind hier immer willkommen! Thank you very much for your wishes. Everyone should know that this country and its beauty was also build by Germans who lived here for centuries and I am proud to acknowledge this. And German people will always be welcomed here!

I'd love to live there, South Africa has nothing like Europe with history and architecture

[@edgarteran1894]

I went to these places even before Rick Steves promoted these places. It was amazing to go to these places when you did not see too many tourists. For me personally go mid September. No big crowds because all the college students and families have gone back home. The weather is better also. Take your time and don't rush yourself in these places. Spend at least 3 days in these areas.

The co-author seems very knowledgeable. Love to Czechia from Germany! ❤

[@jiritichy7967]

I would like to suggest not to use Czechia, as it has a bad connotation for older generation (Nazi's term Tschechei). If uou feel that Czech republic is too long, use Czechlands, or what Czech call it, Cesko (soft C/tch).

[@aesthetix3398]

Hungry caterpillar!

[@SolarisUrbinoFan]

@@jiritichy7967 But Czechia is just the translation of Česko. The ministry of the interior intself says "The short form “Czechia” should be used where the formal name “the Czech Republic” is not required." As far as I know, it was only recently officially introduced as an official name for the country. In German, it is true that you shouldn't use "Tschechei" (although it is older than Nazi-Germany) but Tschechien (which is even older).

[@jiritichy7967]

@@SolarisUrbinoFan It is not a translation of C'esko, because at its origin, the term C'esko did not exist. The spelling of the tanslation would be different (/chesko/). But that is not he point. Regardless of all these so called reasons and proofs,Ii simply say that Czechia, mildly said, sounds to me awful.

[@RateMyRestaurantYEG]

@@MissSladousek Would you recommend CR as a place for a Canadian Retired person to move to? I am thinking Prague or Tbilisi Georgia

[@MissSladousek]

@@RateMyRestaurantYEG I have never been to Tbilisi thought one day I would love to. I know some people who been there or are from there and I think Prague is definatelly a better choice. At least in terms of an economy and geographical location. Also, in my opinion there is a lot more to do in Prague and the choice of international cusine is wider as its more developed city. You could live on the outskirts of Prague if you wish to live near the nature but still with an easy distance to the city. Retired life can be quite friendly with mushrooming, blueberry hunting, actual hunting, castle visiting, or trekking across the country all very safely.

[@lujzagirethova656]

@@RateMyRestaurantYEG In Tbilisi it is almost impossible to live, without speaking georgian or russian. Only few people there speak english. On the other side, everything is cheaper in Tbilisi, and it´s not that overcrowded.

[@dejffjed]

By the way... I kinda miss Kutná Hora here. I know there is a lot to mention and you can't cram all the beautiful places into 25 minutes but at least few words... In the 14th century, before the Hussite wars, Kutná Hora was one of the richest cities in the entire Europe. It was all thanks to silver mining and production of coins called Pražský groš which was very popular european currency at that time. Kutná Hora is now listed as a UNESCO world cultural heritage (amongst other 11 places in Czechia).

[@laurenconrad1799]

I was kinda shocked not to see Kutna Hora mentioned here. Regardless, I can’t wait to visit Prague next week with a day trip to Kutna Hora.

+Phani Shankar Brno is great city too. There are many thinks to visit and see and specially if you are interested in a wine business. Brno is in Moravian region where most of the Czech production of wine is being made. If you wanna have a look on lovely Czech country side - than that is a way to start in Brno and travel from there - towards to cities like Mikulov, Břeclav, Hodonín..and maybe even beautiful place near be it - like Lednice (castle).. Moravian people are kind and lovely to meet - but you have to go to country side to really appreciate the traditional view.

Sir David Payne i'm from algeria and i reallu want to live in czech republic but i don't know how to live there and if the people of czech can accepte another people "immigration" can i have some help?

[@iglidor]

Amine Tube It is pretty simple. People in Czech republic and in Europe in general got pretty quickly alergic to immigrants who marched in our countries without bothering to take any ID or legal documents, who came here without any knowledge of our languages, no plan on where to live and work and no idea how to find either of them and yet at the same time shouting from bottom of their lungs how we are responsible for them and that we have to take care of them and allow them whatever they want. Obviously such outlook rubbed lot of people around here wrong. If you want to avoid all this, it is pretty simple: Learn language of country where you want to move in. If you can't learn that language (either due to time constrants or simply no source to learn it from), it can be skipped but then you should secure place to live in and job in that country BEFORE you move in because later here it would be very hard to do so without knowledge of local language. English will not help you everywhere. And of course go through legal routes to get legal documents that will allow you to live here. Unless you are criminal or drug addict they will not make you any problems to aquire them. Also important thing to realize is that Czech Republic is mostly atheistic. There is not much support for religion here. No one is forbidding anyone to believe in whatever he wants but if you are religious, do not expect anyone to bend out of their way because of it or people be interested in it. If you do above mentioned things, you will be accepted without any problems. People around never complain about someone working here. They simply dislike those who came here with intent to not work yet full of demands.

@@skipnobodycares2018 well, there still are some people. At least from Czech republic (and Slovakia) there are quite a lot of people that have experienced those horendous things and are alive. Interesting thing is that majority of those people have opened up about it and made lots of interviews about their experiences. That must've been really hard for them, but they did it so that younger generations know how it was. Actually, there was in Český Krumlov a lady, who has experienced the holocaust as a teenage girl, who was doing meet ups with classes from schools in the region and talked about her teenage years completely openly, until she unfortunately passed away in spring of 2020. She was one of the sweetest old ladies you could ever meet. There is almost a year long time in every school in Czechia, when students are learning about WWI and WWII. Its needed that younger people know about what was happening during that time. This is extremely imporant, and everywhere in the world people have to learn in detail about these inhuman things. Never ever in history this should be forgotten. Sorry for this being so long, I thought I could've share some more informations.
