Blog written by two Prague residents about life in the Czech Republic.
Here’s a reason to celebrate. At least for me, a Google junkie. The Big G finally owns the wonderfully simple and logical Google.cz domain, the one and only URL that’s ever going to really work. After years of being stuck with the embarassing and impossible to remember google.com/intl/cs/ (which gives an error page if you skip the last slash – why is that, anyway?), Google Czech Republic now has a proper home on the web. Congratulations, guys!

The UNESCO World Heritage listed Kutná Hora makes a great day trip from Prague. It’s an easy 45 minute train ride from the main train station and then a short bus or train ride into town. We have some information on Kutná Hora on our site.
The Cathedral of St. Barbara (Chrám sv. Barbory) is considered by UNESCO to be “a jewel of the late Gothic period”. Unfortunately, one section of the cathedral is cracked and it is currently undergoing emergency repairs. There is scaffolding on one side of the cathedral and also in the interior. Work is expected to be completed in 2008.
The statues along Barborská, the street that leads to the Cathedral of St. Barbara, are also having some work done.
