JohnnyBlaze Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 3 Things I'm looking forward to - China and Japan - I've always wanted to see both, and TFML is back there now I assumed you've been to China at least once with Japan possibly tossed in there somewhere. I wonder if both of those countries would be what you expect. For me, they were...and they weren't. But the interesting aspects of both rose after the experiences. Most people that visit Japan go to Tokyo and/or Kyoto. And they should! If you go to the latter, let me know as Osaka is a mere 30 minute train ride away. After we get some beers I could point you in the direction of those hentai spots you've always wanted to visit! ;) :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x1yyz Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Praha, Chech Republic DD, when did you visit Prague ?? .. Did you travel to any other places in the Czech Republic ?? And when were you there, Lucas? I went in 1995 and '99, and saw quite a difference between the two times. I was there in Feb 2001 .. I stayed in Plzen for 2 weeks, but went to Prague two times What changed between '95 and '99 ?? In '95 the Czech Republic hadn't had much experience with tourists. Not many people spoke English, few menus were in English, and things were just rough around the edges (the easiest way to describe the leftover communist feeling - lack of freedom, prosperity, and hope). Four years later and everything had changed. Tourism was commonplace, everything was in English, tourists were everywhere (more so than before), and capitalism was well entrenched. It has much less of an Eastern European feel to it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
