which I mean quite literally - geographically and culturally. 300 years together is a long time and you still see this in so many aspects. When we had Consultants from Northern Germany and Czech Republic at my former employee and we discussed the cuisine ...  

Looks like a spy book

Looking what the other does. I talked with a Slovakian guy and ask if he knew Czechs or have family or a band with them. No. He only knew Slovaks and have some family and friends living in the UK. ...  

Yes, there are certainly some spy/agent vibes

in the area as there are even some parts of the old border fences still intact, there even is a historical "Iron Courtain Trail" where you can learn about the Cold War history.

is obviously gorgeous, one of the prettiest countries in the world, and I look forward to having the opportunity to see it for myself at some point in time! My family is Eastern European so I'm sure it would feel completely familiar and comfortable.... Th...

Prague is on of the most beautiful cities in the world for me, and there is much more to see, like Budvar and Brno.

I wonder too what these mild temperatures will do to the harvest, but at least the winerys in my area had excellent results in the last years.

Prague is certainly one of the most beautiful cities I've visited. Lots to love there....good food,beer(s),and very affordable opera and music concerts.

Exactly, maybe I will visit Prague too on a long weekend with my family.
