It always strikes me that as an American it is always so interesting to me to hear the European perspective... it's something that the average American can't relate to until they hear it alot. Personally, I would like more substantive conversation like I read in this thread (minus the sarcasm from Pleasurepays). I do agree with the sentiment that Pleasurepays is trying to relate, however. It seems to me that since 1989 the Czech people have been moving more toward the west... and I don't think it's because they love the west so much... but they remember communist rule. Younger people do not remember it... so they protest... it's what young people do as a matter of searching for identity.
I have been told by alot of different Czech people (and expatriated Russians living in The Czech Republic) that alot of you refer to Americans as "piggy eyed". What exactly does that description mean? Do you view Americans as stupid or just people with eyes like pigs?
