Czech stuff

It’s been great to get an in-depth view and tour by local Czech citizens and their stories of Czech Republic endless country occupations from nazi’s in the 30s – 40’s to the communists 40’s to 1989. An interesting big program for scouting in this country that has been stopped and restarted several times by Nazi’s and then by communist but active today!

Here’s a chart showing when the scouts were able to exist or be banned

A very active version of scouting is available in Prague and it has been a source of democratic movements. Unique scoutsky buildings and organizations are a great place to stop for coffee or meetings. I stopped by and had coffee and played the various pianos they have in these tucked away club buildings.

Coffee at scout building right in the tourist district 1 area but completely hidden except locals

Czech version of coke like drink is kofola

An special Czech period of art and architecture called kubista

Buildings with art deco mosaics and art deco decorations and architecture. The city is a mix of mostly older styles with some new buildings here and there and some buildings built under the communist era.

Scouts on display with the unique Czech designed camping tents the troops use here for trips snd summer camps – this was at the velvet revolution celebration event.

Hidden tea houses are a local hidden spot and have been a locals favorite for generations. This tea house in the busy section of district one tucked off an alleyway where mostly only locals know about.
