    For once I got to be the first to comment!

    This is patently not true, Ike…

    Clearly the best way to learn the hallowed virtue is to obtain a much-needed insignificant approval stamp from the Alien Police in the Czech Republic, to be buffeted and bombarded on all sides by non-EU citizens to the CR — including our fellow brothers from Ukraine, Turkey, and Nigeria — only to be told that you don’t have the necessary single sheet of paper, only to return with your tail between your legs another day because all of the available chits have been handed out for that particular day — and even if they were to hand you one of the old chits, you’re likely never going to survive sitting on your keyster for that entire day in the post-commie building where the crusty old bureaucrat (usually female) isn’t in the slightest bit interested in handing you the relevant permits and clearances.

    Ah. There, I finished…

    ps Ike, I’d liove if you made some time to read the following fiction: PRAGUE, by Arthur Phillips: http://www.arthurphillips.info/Prague/synopsis.html

    Splendido —

    My way is more accessible to the masses, as there are more people who speak hyena than speak Czech, mate.

    Hahahaha!…so true, so true. But it was worth the dream, at least…wasn’t it?

    “as there are more people who speak hyena”

    So true.
