bits and pieces

i was told i needed to share some random points of interest about culture and goings-ons of Prague. so, here's a few...

-you push doors from the outside not pull
you can spot americans because they always pull first
-dogs are rarely seen on leashes
-stepping in dog shit is considered lucky
-there's sweet and sour sauce on a mcdonald's chicken burger
-it's rude to tip more than 10%
-if you can speak czech, you'll understand about 95% of any other slavik language
-the metro will blare it's horn at you if you step over the white line
-apparently british tourists are the most hated
-graffiti is everywhere
-the US dollar isn't worth much anymore
the Canadian dollar is doing better than us...and that's depressing

best of all
-beer is the same price (or cheaper) than water.
we're talking good beer too...pilsner, stella artois...


2 odds and ends:

water costs around 33 crowns...which is about $1.65. but typically you only get around an 11 fl.oz bottle.

lame.
