Yeah and as you will have noted - I don't really care either way what they do.
You go down to your roma market and get your veggies, that's a good lad.
Graeme1983 and anyone else in the Czech Republic will be having the last laugh. It's the most caucasian place I've been to. They don't have the problem of all the world's dross going to live there. That's us, The UK.
I regularly travel to Prague and The CR. I feel more like I am amongst my own, than I would in Bristol or anywhere in The UK. Their non Czech, non caucasian communities are miniscule.
As for Roma, The CR have some, but not anything like the numbers in Romania or Bulgaria - or in fact the numbers we will soon have.
Wouldn't mock the CR too quickly Joe. They ain't given away their country. They'll have the last laugh.
This is about as good definition from a foreigner as Ive read.
Its sink or swim here, there is no support for foreigners so unless you carve out a career at the multinationals in Prague or have old money, the system encourages a when in Rome attitude. You dont get freeloaders only people who want to live here as you have to live off your own back. Lowest asylum seeker rate in Europe and only the odd foreigner out of the main cities as its just not welcoming unless you adjust to them. Biggest beer drinkers in the world and a pig roast party to mark any occassion doesnt welcome people of a non European culture you cant slide into some muslim community.
You'll get support if you lose your job which slides off after 6 months to subsistence levels and the maternity/paternity leave system is solid after 2 years of putting in, but it doesnt pay off to work the system.
Its not utopia, Prague has its share of crims, speculators and so on but the town/village life is safe as houses.
What do you mean foreigner? I'm on my 23rd trip to Prague in Nov. Even got my own Open Card for the transport system, etc.
Yes, the CR definitely shows how a country can be if the benefit system offers the absolute bare mimimum of support. Czechs are usually grateful to have a job, any job. I'm often surprised how they make a long-term career of quite menial jobs, eg. hotel receptionists, bar staff, that would be considered just a part-time or stop-gap job here. The States is similar. You see a similar keenness and pride in the Poles, etc who come to The UK for work.
I sometimes think it would be a good idea if the UK's economy took a real dive and benefits had to but drastically pared back. Hopefully we wouldn't be viewed as such a honeypot and the rats would leave the sinking ship.
Why would anyone go to Prague 23 times?
Sounds as if you have some rather disturbing 'knowledge' going by what you've just posted...!I've heard it's the child sex hotspot in Europe. Go somewhere decent mate.
Put this into Google.
"child sex Prague".
Nasty place where weirdo men go to get their rocks off with kids.

I have only been once and thought it was great but a couple of things surprised me was the graffiti ..it was everywhere and the local council have to apply to get it removed ( don't know why but tour guide told us) and as soon as its removed its back again and the other thing was the amount of young people smoking ..it appeared to be the majority of them
Another reason I like it there is you can have a cig with your pint. Smoking is virtually compulsory in the C R.
