Prague is a very culturally diverse and cosmopolitan city and you can truly meet just about any kind of nationality there. The country people may be less used to different nationalities but even then the 'unfriendly kind' is far less common.

I am an indian girl studying in the US. I was seriously dating a czech guy five years ago(we studied in UK together) who recently came back into my life after our relationship fell out (due to long distance and other issues not based on our compatibilty). Now, I am going to be visiting him and his family in Prague for the first time this winter and hopefully, if all goes well, we will decide to take things forward soon after that. I am absolutely in love with him and he is the most adorable and the nicest guy I've ever met. I've been having mixed feelings about moving to Prague after I graduate from here given my cultural background. I do not know czech but am willing to learn. I have read on several forums online that czech people arent very friendly with foreigners looking to work and live in the country. Does anybody on this forum have any suggestions for me? ok so after reading a lot of the posts on this blog, I am quite sure you all will enjoy reading this. I am an indian girl studying in the US.

I like him and it's wishful thinking that maybe we will like each other more...Confused,G hi everyone! i have the same question as jane :-) i met this thoughtful czecho almost 2 years ago in malaysia…he invited me for dinner and we had great conversation…and sweet moments…since we had our own itineraries during that trip, we parted but met again in singapore a few days later…but only saw each other for a day…

we had only been in touch mostly by e-mail for the last year and a half. i write him stuff about things i do at work and things that bother me…and i ask him for some advice. he usually responds with short e-mails …sometimes something funny or sweet but nothing ever passionate or intimate…

last july he suddenly came up with this idea for us to meet in Bali Indonesia ( he had a conference there that he did not attend)…(at one point I told him about my trip to Bali and I remarked that it would have been fun to go there again with him)….so we planned and we met (we just had our trip a couple a week and a half ago)…we had a fun really enjoyable time together…althought there were moments that his “lecturing” pissed me off and i think he noticed i got upset…but we were fine for the most part ;-)

a couple of times he told me we were friends…but when we were going around shopping he would refer to us as an ”indonesian couple’….

the set up is confusing…i think it is safe to say he kinda likes me…we kiss…but hmmmm i am terribly afraid he might just have been having fun and enjoying the trip…..he brought me many sweet gifts from prague and he did for some part pick up the bill…which i did not expect since i read that czechs are thrifty ( so i came prepared ;-) ) we tried to be intimate but for some reason i think we were both either tired or well trying to measure each other’s reactions….i guess my asian nature got the better of me as i was being careful….i don’t know if he has a girlfriend and i am terribly afraid to ask….

when we parted i told him i was set off to meet a male friend (another friend’s nephew) in malaysia and he asked me “are you going to say hello to him as you say hello to me?” and i said “no”….when he was sending sms back home to czech he kept saying he was sending sms to his mom and sister….was he beig defensive or was he trying to tell me he had no gf? he told me he was very close to his family…i did not notice him buy anything extremely special for a girl…he was always buying stuff for his ma, sis and nephews….nor did we sort of leave each other’s side for a moment as he seemed extremely reluctant to….but guys can be sneaky hahaha

I read that czechos do not have qualms about cheating…could he have meant to cheat on a gf while with me? I like him and it’s wishful thinking that maybe we will like each other more…

Confused,

For some reason, I'm noticing, a lot of Czech guys seem to have huge interest in Asian girls, especially when they're overseas, not so much at home in the Czech Republic. I wonder why is that? :) I've met lots and lots of couples like that. There must be something about yous! :) Jane, I’m not sure how your story ended, whether you got together with the guy or not, but I must say it wouldn’t surprise me if he was really very much attracted to you.

Like we're taught to wash hands vigorously before each meal, while Aussies seem to wash them only before the most complicated brain surgery (if they don't forget) ... just an example. :))) I was amused when the prime minister here had a speech for the news, advising Aussies to wash their hands with soap, as a response and prevention for the swine flu :))))) Seriously, come on. :)) And this could go on and on. I love it and I think so does me wifey. :) Haha, this is funny – both the post and the discussion below it. :) My wife’s Aussie, I’m Czech, and I think it’s a great mix – somewhat more exciting, even after the 3 and half years together – we still have these little misunderstanding, caused by the difference in upbringing and culture.
