The Prague Post - English-language
The words 'Czech' and 'Republic' have somehow been sewn together in the European consciousness that just saying 'Czech' alone isn't enough to refer to the country. Oh, for the good old days of Czechoslovakia when we were saved all these linguistic difficulties.
Prague has long been the darling of the East European traveler and its picturesque architecture draws so much tourism that it's practically impossible for the poor Czech (republicans) to live there in the summer.
