    Ahoj! I'm Jen, Native Californian, living in Prague, Czech Republic for the past 9 years with my husband and our rescue dog Tobik. One fateful night, we drank a bottle of wine, threw a dart at the map, and bought one-way tickets to move our entire lives to the center of Europe! Everyday we learn something new, about Czech people, Czech culture, Czech history, Czech language and how to battle the Czech bureaucracy. Dream Prague started as a place to share what we learned with other foreigners living here.

I have a school kid and it will be awesome if you invite to one of your videos to an expat mom who is already stablished in Prague, specially someone who doesn't speak the language and hear about their experience.

Being clean, not having a criminal record, not being an alcoholic, not being a drug user, not having psychiatric problems? For some, it's a given, for others, it's a problem. Gun handling - they're much stricter than they used to be, and it's no exception that they throw out half the applicants... The shooting test itself is really easy. As I wrote, for most law abiding citizens, getting a firearms license is no problem. I wouldn't call it hard, but I wouldn't call it easy either, we don't hand them out like rolls or like Americans.

Sometime it should be scaring but it is "horrible" truth. One little correction. The pig slaughter for all village, it's just a PR for foreigners. For example. We do that just for extended family. Ok, it depends on the village, because the half of that village is the extended family. 🤣😂 I love that you mentioned Czech paradise because it is my home region. Even if I live in Prague, Czech paradise is my home forever. Good job as always.

    I’m no gun nut, but obtaining a gun license in the Czech Republic, all with concealed-carry permit, is about as difficult as getting a driver’s license.
    Arguably, that’s part of why the country is relatively safe, though it’s a combination of factors.

      That. Our concelaed carry rules are more permissive than many US states in fact.

      Well, even total idiot can have driver license, they literally give it to everyone who pays, so I hope obtaining a gun license is at least slightly harder. Some people have literally IQ of room temperature, they have no idea about basic mechanics and physics and still, they have driver license. I believe that even orangutan could obtain driver license in Czech Republic.

      I would be a poor fit for a gun license. I'm very glad the potential attacker doesn't know that.
      And I'd say among Czech gun license holders, the system helps a lot to have quite a lot of *responsible* gun owners while having minimal gun-crazed idiots armed.

    Wonderful. Well done indeed. Splendid idea might be, if you were in touch also with Texas Czechs and Chicago Czechs (the 6~7th generation of American Czechs). They still call themselves Czechs, they especially love Czech traditional music called "dechovka."

But I live in a panelaky in Ceske Budejovice 4-6 months of the year, when I am not in my "primary" residence in Cleveland, and I love the minimalism. I can leave all the clutter behind and live a minimalistic life in Ceske Budejovice, which I note does not make it into your videos. Dis Brno, but CB is a fantastic university town with amateur musicians jamming in the pubs and wonderful fish pond parks good for a stroll or bike ride. I like Prague, but I like it here better. I will keep watching and maybe watch some of the earlier videos to see if you get out of Prague.

    About those rules…
    I would say, that most of them are ridiculously strickt or detailed not to demand exactly such behaviour, but to create a some sort of leverage if something gets out of hand…
    Like if there is speed limit 50 kmh and you go 70 kmh. Radar by the road has limit probably 75 kmh, so it's fine…
    BUT if you hit someone, then they'll measure the energy vectors and say, that you were driving roughly 15-25 kmh over speed limit, so consistently with a large difference - almost zero need for any further evidence, you're guilty…
