Thoughts on the Czech Republic
Here are the notes from the visit of the western part of the Czech Republic. Security at the Prague airport was quick to get through, and the bus ride to the main train station was simple. The main train station was safe and efficient; I was expecting the horror stories of a German train station. I then went to Češké Budějovice. The town is smoggy but has many beautiful castles nearby. I recommend going to Češký Krumlov. The town is touristy, but the castle was the best of the trip. Hluboká bad Vltavou was another castle town. The people there had bad tattoos and ugly graphic T-Shirts. Apparently, Yakuza is the brand of the ghetto Ts. The city is quite safe with no issues at night. The next town is Plzeň which is bigger albeit less safe. There are also a lot of gypsies that roam around. The gypsies hang out at the eastern park in the city. One night, a gypsy ran over another gypsy with a car in front of my hotel in the city center. Brutal! The castles are not as good there, but they had a week of live music which was cool. They also make the worst langos known to man in the Czech Republic.
Prague was the most disappointing city of the trip. It felt like Disneyland for the worst leftist of the Anglo sphere. These British leftists look like a boogeyman made up by Fox News. There are also a lot of Indo-Chinese slop shops. I was surprised by the Southeast Asian migrants there. Side note: BAP was 100% correct about his hatred of hostels. The night-life was fun with Dutch and Austrian tourists; they said that Budapest was better at night. I made a day trip to Dresden and Mladá Boleslav. The latter town was cool to see the Škoda factory. The former city was probably the worst city in Europe that I have witnessed. I recycled a metal can, and 2 migrants fought over it within seconds. I also saw several migrants have meltdowns in the streets.
Ústí nad Labem was pretty cool. The palace-hotel is worth staying at. The Castel ruins are cool, and the hike around the waterfall is nice. The racetrack at Most is a good venue. A lot of the typical NASCAR fans there. The German boomers had Ausländer Raus as their ringtones, and the Hungarians were all fat albeit wonderful. Overall, it was a fun vacation.

The older I get, the less I feel like doing touristy things. Which means I never want to travel now. My job does mean that I go to conferences, so maybe next time I see one in Czechia I will not be so quick to dismiss it.
