Prague... My Very Own 'Leap From The Lion's Head'

Recently, I made a big decision to work... and live... in Prague.

For those of us keeping score, that's in central Europe - Czech Republic. NOT Czechoslovakia, mom. Unless you managed to wander into Narnia and it still exists there.

It really is beautiful here. That's not just some shameless plug. There's an amazing combination of gothic and renaissance era architecture literally everywhere that instantly transports you.

When I arrived, Day One, I was told that when I enter any shops or restaurants I must say "Dobry Den" - the Czech equivalent of "Good Day" - to the first host(ess) I see. If I didn't, the customer service repercussions would be severe. Let me tell you, they were right.
