This video is hilarious (thanks for the tip Jamie)! It makes fun of Prague’s International Airport, calling it the Franz Kafka Airport, “a place of suspicion and confusion, where time simply disappears”.
CZ: Toto video je opravdu vyborne. Dela si totiz srandu z naseho Ruzynskeho letiste a z jistych duvodu ho nazyva Letiste Franze Kafky – “misto neustaleho podezreni a zmatku, kde se cas jednoduse vypari do vzduchu…”

This is a shameful imperialist propaganda, where certain hawks are jealous at huge progress
in building a system, which Obama is trying to build so desperately within his first 100 days.
Simply fill out a proper protocol in a proper way in a proper amount of time and you will be OK..
I am sure batko Klaus knows, what he is doing 😉
I just love the beginning when they show the airport as a concrete, prison-like building with this huge build board of Kafka :))
I myself have never had any horrible experience there…have you?
Yes, I had …. but it was my fault, my luggage was too big and I entered the counter from the side, where it said “Exit”….I was the only one in the line, they refused to serve me, because I entered from the wrong side…. I was already standing at the counter , they simply forced me to go back ..through the Exit end of course…and then I had to approach the counter from the end where it said “Enter”….and then I had to remove some stuff from my luggage to fit within allowed size, and then after when I passed the check point, I put it back…
After a while 2 policemen came to me and asked me, whether I was who I was…When I confirmed that I was me, they asked me to step aside and told me, that weapons were not allowed in a plane…And they asked me to unpack a bag, which I checked in….They found two nice guns , replicas of “pistoles” from 18 century… When I showed them, they are not usable, they did not arrest me and wished me a nice flight….
It probably helped that you spoke Czech 🙂
Ahoj,
What is this – a new airport in Prague?
Can I get to it via metro or Tram?
Slán
Albert,
the best way is by airplane
Ahoj Vlastimil,
Yes, thank you. That is good to know.
So can I get lift to downtown Praha via metro or tram?
Slan,
Albert
Take a bus, then go to “Kulate Namesti” and change to metro….
Ahoj Vlastimil,
Well that says that the Kafka airport is no better than the Prague-Ruzyne airport. I remember taking a bus for the air port to a “? Namesti” where we took another bus to Nachod. While we were here there was a wonderful circus in the town square. Beer cost about $.50 per 1/2l. We also walked over into Poland to a restaurant for a nice meal and some dark polish pivo. I also remember a park Teplece skali (sp?).
Slan.

Hi Albert,
The Franz Kafka airport is actually the same thing as the Ruzyne-Airport, unfortunately. They associate the Ruzyne airport with Franz Kafka because – according to them – it is a place of hopelessness and confusion (like Kafka’s novels). Bottom line, they are making fun of the Czech airport 🙂
Ahoj Tajna,
I have used the Prague-Ruzyne airport several times.
Cerberus was not guarding the entrance.
So it is obvious the Franz Kafka airport is somewhere else, perhaps only in someone’s demented mind.
Albert,
this video about the Franz Kafka has been produced by
“Onion news network”…..please, look it up in Google…:)))
Albert,
and yes, Czech beer is excellent , cheap and plentiful:)
Ahoj Vlastimil,
Yes, Onion is a very respected news source.
For example:VERO BEACH, FL–Annette Davrian, a 45-year-old Cedar Rapids, IA, bank teller, is spending her vacation time in a delusional haze this week, somehow managing to convince herself that her cats actually miss her.

I was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and know all about such cats. I got one that walks all over me in the morning.
I do not know how the Onion could have made such a delusional mistake about the two airports in Prague. Too much pivo.
Slan,
Albert
Albert,
ONN (Onion news network) is a very powerful one:)
Even you got convinced, that Prague has two international airports 🙂
Cheers:)
