Not-so-typical things I learned about Prague today:
-you are supposed to wear something new on Easter
-their Valentines Day is on May 1st (on Petrin Hill)
-knife in right hand, fork in left ALWAYS
-the Czech Republic is called the Heart of Europe (how romantic!)
Good thing I read up on this because I'll be there for both Easter and May 1st! I also heard that they drink alot of beer, harvest the grape that makes the white zinfandel wine (yum!), have the hardest language to learn, it is typical for the man to open the door for the woman unless it is a restaurant, then the man enters first, and unless you request a pre-dinner drink the waiter/waitress will not bring drinks until after the meal...such a difference from the United States!
It looks like i'm all set with dining but what about fitting in fashionably? That's next because if it is as drastically different than dining is to the US then i've got alot to work on!
