Dear students! Let me tell you about the largest ancient castle complex in the world! Founded in the 9th century, Prague Castle has been the seat of Czech rulers for centuries. Don't miss St. Vitus Cathedral within the complex - its Gothic architecture will take your breath away, just like it did mine when I first visited from Budapest!

This 14th-century bridge is Prague's most iconic landmark. As your Hungarian teacher who loves history, I must tell you that King Charles IV laid the first stone of this bridge in 1357 at exactly 5:31 AM. Why this specific time? The sequence created was 1-3-5-7-9-7-5-3-1. Medieval builders believed this numerical bridge would never fall!

Having visited many historical sites across Central Europe, I can tell you this cemetery is truly unique. Dating from the 15th century, it contains about 12,000 tombstones but may have up to 100,000 burials in 12 layers! The tombstones are crowded and tilted, telling stories of centuries of Jewish life in Prague.

Here's a fascinating legend, diákok! Rabbi Löw created a Golem from river clay to protect the Jewish community in the 16th century. The Golem was deactivated and supposedly still rests in the attic of the Old New Synagogue. As your Hungarian teacher who loves mysteries, this story always gives me chills!

As your teacher from the neighboring Hungary, I must say that while we're proud of our cuisine, Czech beer is world-famous! U Fleků has been brewing beer for over 500 years! Their dark lager is legendary, and the brewery restaurant serves traditional Czech dishes. When I visit, I always order their goulash - different from Hungarian, but delicious!

Let me introduce you to my favorite Czech dish! Svíčková is marinated beef sirloin in creamy vegetable sauce, served with knedlíky (dumplings). While it's different from our Hungarian paprikás, it's equally delicious! You can find the best one at Lokál restaurants across Prague.

Barátaim (my friends), let me tell you about one of Prague's spookiest legends! A headless Templar knight is said to ride through Liliová Street at midnight. According to legend, he was betrayed and executed, and now guards a secret treasure. As someone who loves comparing Hungarian and Czech folklore, this is one of my favorite Prague ghost stories!

The famous Orloj has a dark legend! They say Master Hanuš, who created this medieval astronomical clock, was blinded by the Prague councillors so he couldn't build another. In revenge, he broke the clock, and it took 100 years to repair! When I show this to my students during our Prague trips, they're always fascinated by both the mechanism and the story!

Title: "Prague Problems"

[Scene: A cozy café in Prague. Sam, who has lived in Prague for years, is meeting up with his visiting friend, Jake, who is fresh off the plane and already overwhelmed.]

Jake: Bro, I’ve been here for five hours, and I already feel like I’ve offended 80% of the population.

Sam: That’s a good start. You’ll hit 100% by the end of the day. What did you do?

Jake: I smiled at someone on the tram.

Sam: Rookie mistake. Never smile. Never make eye contact. The tram is a place for existential dread and staring out the window like you're in a sad European film.

Jake: Noted. Also, I tried to hold the door open for an old lady, and she gave me the most suspicious look, like I was trying to scam her.

Sam: Prague people are fiercely independent. They don’t need help. That lady probably thought you were a con artist or a lost tourist who doesn’t understand how doors work.

Jake: I mean… I am a lost tourist. But I do understand doors.

Sam: Not Prague doors, apparently.

Jake: And the language, man. I tried to order a coffee in Czech, and I think I accidentally asked the barista to marry me.

Sam: Yeah, Czech is tricky. What did you say?

Jake: I wanted to say, "One coffee, please." But she looked at me in horror, turned to her coworker, and they both started laughing.

Sam: What did you say?

Jake: No idea. I just pointed at the menu and backed away slowly.

Sam: Wise move.

Jake: Oh, and tipping. I left 20%, and the waiter acted like I just declared my undying love for him.

Sam: Yeah, buddy, 10% max. Anything more, and they assume you’re either a billionaire or profoundly confused.

Jake: So to survive here, I need to: stop smiling, stop helping, stop over-tipping, and stop speaking.

Sam: Exactly. Just drink beer, nod solemnly, and occasionally mutter, "No jo…" like you’ve seen things.

Jake: What does "No jo" mean?

Sam: No one really knows. But if you say it at the right time, you’ll blend in perfectly.

(End scene.)

The mentality of Czech people in Prague is shaped by a mix of historical influences, cultural traditions, and modern European values. Here are some key characteristics:

1. Reserved but Friendly – Czechs, especially in Prague, might seem reserved at first, but they are generally warm and friendly once you get to know them. They value sincerity over superficial politeness.

2. Independent and Pragmatic – With a history of overcoming foreign rule and political changes, many Czechs have a practical and independent mindset. They appreciate self-reliance and critical thinking.

3. Humorous and Sarcastic – Czechs are known for their dry, ironic sense of humor. They often use sarcasm, which might be misunderstood by outsiders.

4. Skeptical of Authority – Due to their history under various regimes (Austro-Hungarian Empire, communism, etc.), Czechs tend to be skeptical of authority, politicians, and official institutions.

5. Proud of Their Culture and History – Prague is a historical and cultural gem, and locals are proud of their heritage. However, they are not overly nationalistic.

6. Relaxed and Enjoying Life – Czechs love their beer culture, outdoor activities, and social gatherings. They appreciate a good work-life balance and tend to enjoy life without rushing.

7. Not Overly Emotional – Czech people generally do not show strong emotions publicly. They may appear indifferent at times, but this doesn’t mean they are unfriendly.

8. Love for Nature and Traditions – Despite Prague being a big city, many locals love escaping to the countryside, hiking, and maintaining traditional customs.
