It's the little things

Here's a useful World Electric Guide for information about voltage and various outlet configurations (with pictures! such as this one showing the plugs and outlets used in the Czech Republic).

Here's a list of good resources as you begin to research Prague: Cechy Resources (pronounced "cheskee"), resources that my husband, John Hartzog, has been putting together since he learned he was going to be living there for four months!

Living Prague and My Czech Republic have lots of good information and links. Prague Daily and Prague Post are English language newspapers reporting on Czech issues (interesting to learn how they report American and other European news).

Listen to Radio Prague to hear the language: simulcast, also available in other languages. Or start hearing and learning some phrases at Local Lingo.

Plus lots more!
