    Valery, I have watched MANY of your videos. You do a great job and I always get a couple chuckles too. I will be traveling to Prague in less than three weeks (woo hoo)! I have just about everything planned for the trip as far as excursions/site seeing goes. Right now we are going to do/see: Medieval/underground dungeon tour, ghosts & legends tour, beer spa, Petrin tower, Prague castle tour, Kunta Hora, and of course the astrological clock, Charles bridge, etc. Is there any one item I'm missing that you would say you can't go to Prague without seeing? I had thought about the zoo. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks and take care!

    Currencies are regularly reissued/updated for a variety of reasons. For example to make it harder to counterfeit them. Or to make them more durable. Or to make them more suitable for new inventions. (eg cash/ticket machines.) Or because the powers that be decide that they don't like the previous regime's propaganda images on them. Or because the values have become obsolete because of inflation. I personally regret that the old paper $10 Australian bill was withdrawn from service. I liked the fact that it was the only banknote in the world to have the picture of a previously convicted forger on it. (Francis Greenway) 😜🤣🤣

    I found the system no more complicated than any other in Europe. Everything I read on how to buy and travel on the Prague metro stated how it worked and that not following the rules got you a fine. I encountered inspectors several times in one day and all had IDs and were courteous. The person commenting @1:55 sounds like a classic complainer who didn't follow the rules including, not surprisingly, basic grammar.

    This is a nice example of how our Czech currency is stable and value keeper....in normal countries, banknote is valid for decades, here, you have to replace banknotes every like 10 years. We should finally accept euro, this is ridiculous. And another ridiculous thing is that all hotels have prices in eur, so when you are Czech and you want to stay in Czechia, you have to pay price in eur and then convert it to CZK, so you don't even know how much exactly you will pay in CZK, when it already went this far, it's pointless to keep our currency, bussineses use it only because they have to.

      Pretty sure it is illegal to charge in Euro. Some hotels and restaurants in the centre do offer to charge in Euro, but it is not mandatory. Switching to Euro would make things more expensive, which is a reason why CR never changed. I like that CR has its own currency.
