Would you want to live in the Czech Republic? Why or why not?

Question

Also, please include and intersting fact about the Czech Republic

Answer 1

I live there for 4 years. Most people still associate CZ with communism and misery but this is a pretty simplified and stereotyped image. Even during the socialism, you could "buy toasters" and many other material goods, moreover very good ones. Their political system was totalitarian and closed to the Western culture, but it is admirable how they succeed in changing it only by political means, without wars, killing and destroying the country. Czechs could do it thanks to their long and strong tradition of civil society that they built before the WW2 and thanks to the fact that they have been one of the 10 most developed countries in the world during the time of Tomas Masaryk. Czechoslovakia also was one of the culturally most influencing countries in Europe. The Charles University in Prague is one of the oldest in Europe and many great people were educated there. With France and Austria Czechs are famous in many cultural and artistic movements like structuralism in philosophy and literature, surrealism in the visual arts, functionalism and cubism in the architecture and design. Together with Vienna, Prague and Brno were the centers of modernization and the Prague school of film is the best in the world. You should see some old Czech classics.

Now, the CZ is one democratic, fast and highly developing and open country where the immigrants of almost all nations in the world, including myself live, study and work. Rich history, tradition, cultural monuments and beautiful cities (many of them protected by UNESCO) are just one of the many values that, imagine, existed even during the socialism.

Answer 2

I lived there for 6 years. Loved it. There's been a lot of changes in the past 15 years. The "stigma" or the "romantic" feeling of living in a post-communist country is pretty much gone. You can't tell anymore. It's very much a western European country now, in good and bad ways. Czech seems to have lost some of it's in charm in becoming western. I still loved it, still visit about once a year and still have many good friends there. Czech will always have a special place in my heart. "Ceske zeme, domov muy."

Answer 3

specific, some Mexicans are black. They mixed with the Indigenous human beings and mestizo human beings. i think many Mexican Mestizos even have slightly African ancestry. George Lopez and Eva Longeria the two have African ancestry (notwithstanding that's purely approximately 3%). Mexico as quickly as had black slaves simply by Spaniards.

Answer 4

Oh, certainly, living in an eastern European (former)communist country has always held a fascination for me. I hear you can buy toasters there nowadays.
