Currency
by Ste00
If you just don't know it is the Czech Krona (Crown)....
Now don;t hold me to this if it doesn't work in your favour!! :-)
Mates took currency out at various places in the UK before we went, including at the airport and all got around 25k to the £... Internet at the time stated 29+k to the £....
I held my ground and got it from a cash machine at Prague airport and got 29.2k to the £ and at a highstreet branch at got over 31k to the £....... and that is after comission etc..
But I think it depends on who you bank with in the UK...

"Prague Spring"
by kris-t
The always lively intellectual world of Prague, however, suffered under the totalitarian regime, in spite of the rather careful program of rebuilding and caring of the damaged monuments after World War II. In the 4th Czechoslovakian Writers' Congress held in the city in 1967 they took a strong position against the regime. This spurred the new secretary of Communist Party, Alexander Dubchek to proclaim a new deal in his city and country's life, starting the short-lived season of the "socialism with a human face". It was the Prague Spring, which aimed to the renovation of institutions in a democratic way. Soviet Union and the other Warsaw Pact reacted occupying Czechoslovakia and the capital in August 1968, suppressing under tanks' tracks any attempt of renovation.
And - that was a Soviet Union goverment, not people.
