The Czech word for 'thank you' is, phonetically, 'day kwee', but I kept forgetting. Dave gave me a nmemnonic device for remembering it. "Dick weed", which means that now I feel rude every time I thank someone, but I certainly remember how to say the word, now!

Restaurat culture seems to be totally different here. There is a McDonald's right on the square behind the trinity tower, but a Big Mac costs the equivalent of eleven dollars there. I could get used to living like that.
