Fiddy Peeps who cunt a4d2go2 Prague...

Yes plus I have been there a few times now so know my way around. :)
But I look Czech so everyone starts speaking that no-syllable language at me until they realize I am a dumb American. LOL
(then they just shake their head and walk away)

You're wrong on the options to pay by card. You want to choose to pay in the local currency. Then it's your bank doing the exchange rate. If you choose your home currency then they're doing the exchange rate which will always be worse.


If you want to change money in Prague http://exchange.cz/ is one of the few legit exchanges in the center.

Also, always count your change and check your receipts. There's a lot of fuckery going on in Prague. My advice is to stay in Prague 7 or 2. Still close to the center, but less scams and slightly lower prices.

exactly. at least this is what I always do when I withdraw cash from ATMs. I never use card to pay, so no idea about that...
and I agree about scams going on in Prague. its beautiful city, but with so-so friendly people, lots of scams, scum etc. etc.

AAAAAAWWWWW :thumbsup

For sure, visit the mountain areas, there are a few very impressive places where the mountains will take your breath away, so one thing to do is : taking a lunch on the the top of one of the mountains in one of the traditional restaurants where you can sit outside and enjoy Romanian food, which is the best food in the world.

Make sure you visit the former president house, I think its almost one of the biggest buildings on the planet, being inside there gives you a deeper knowledge of the contrast and the differences between poor and rich during the previous communist period.

Take a day in one of our parks, and enjoy watching the most beautiful girls of the planet walk by. You do not have to be shy, most speak English and are very social. People in Romania tend to be open and welcome to foreigners when you are polite to them.

Drive a few days through the country side and talk to strangers, they will invite you for one of their local drinks and you will be stunned how amazingly drunk you can become in 1 hour :) but when you do not drink, try at least their home made wine, or grill with them some meat. For them it is a very nice to speak to people from other countries, you would be the highlight of the year for them.

Take a few friends with you and visit the Most Haunted Forrest in Romania, you will feel that there is more between heaven and earth. Google Hoia Baciu Forest and maybe you will see a few ghosts :) or Aliens.

To get a good impression of Romania, you will only need to be friendly and the rest happens automatically. The people here are generous and warm, and they are more than willing to show you around in their country.

PS, if you have mobile traffic, you can also hit up Stefan from Brokerbabe and he is more then willing to show you around in their amazing office in Bucharest. ( shameless plug inserted )

You are a luxury client who loves the brand name premium prices. I.e. a chocolate bar from Swiss manufacturer Lindt will cost 95 Kcs in Albert. The same bar will be 50 in at the Vietnamese shop.

What Jay said as well....
I've been to both for 5-6yrs and its not all the same peeps infact many choose one or the other.

I dont buy chocolate, and i bought water once there and price was same

If you are worried about the price of water then find another job. LOL

Kidding - all those euros add up! :)

albanian food is the best in the world :winkwink::winkwink:

i drink tap water, mostly for ecological reasons...

Lol i am not worried i was just pointing how water price was same in brand name store and vietnamese store. Tho, i did got once free candy bar, they dont offer such things in stores :D
