The oddities of the modern European: ( list should be updated soon)
1. Body Odor runs rampant, most noticeable when one is on close proximity to others on the metro, Mustek or Muzeum stop!
2. The floors here include floor -1, and Floor 0, There 0 floor is our 1st floor- so it gets confusing
3. Despite the 5inch thick hefty cobble, sometimes half a foot in length with deep abyssmal crevice between cobble women sport the thinnest stilletos. I suspect they had a course in highschool to in conjunction with home economics class
4. Praha loves its dogs, and these dogs run all over without leashes, doxens and furry labs!
5. Their fashion seems like a hyrbid of the 80s and early 90s, very Hasselhoff, denim paired with denim, etc.
6. They have awesome street art, stencil graffitii is big, or stickers since grafitti is taken extra seriously here. Hardcore jail time for desecrating any structure so artists place weird toys on facades of buildings or sticker them up.
7. Hair color, PDA : All the kids here have such funky hair! I love it, little punks and their girlfriends are constantly making out
8. No flip flops, but here socks with sandals is a must
9. There's no such thing as an alcoholic- recreational drinking! Pubs open as early as 10am, they even serve Gambrinus in our school cafeteria and McDonalds! Sa-weeet! The only difference is in degrees, you'll order a decatka, 10 degree beer in the afternoon and somethign stronger at night, dvenatska, 12 degree.
10. Animals at the zoo are way more liberal, my roomate saw some Hyena sex and incestuous monkeys- Father on son action
11. They adore dairy and especially yogurt, There are as many diff type of yogurts here and new emo bands that sprout out of LI ;TESCO may be the mecca for yogurt lovers, 3 aisles of different brands to be exact, right now im hooked on Activia with pieces of Grain inside
12. Pickled everything! They pickle their sausages too, you can get a whole jar full
13. People are pretty quite on the trams, face forward unless there is a rambuncious group of Czech youth who pregrame on the trams.
