The original Bohemians. I know there are some absolutely gorgeous Czech girls...

[robertlouis]

Vaclav Havel, Jan Palach, Alexander Dubcek, Franz Kafka, Smetana, Janacek, Dvorak and Staropramen. How am I doing?

[fred41]

I'm pretty sure they invented the pilsner.

(also...from what I've seen...Czech girls are hot!!)

[robertlouis]

(also...from what I've seen...Czech girls are hot!!)

That's why I mentioned Staropramen. The style was first developed in the Czech town of Plzen. Oh, and of course they invented Budweiser as well. Not that terrible chemical piss produced industrially in the US, but one of the world's greatest beers.

[Willie Escalade]

I know a LOT of hot porn stars have come from that place...

[Quiet Reflections]

young girls from there love anal

[onmyknees]

Vaclav Havel, Jan Palach, Alexander Dubcek, Franz Kafka, Smetana, Janacek, Dvorak and Staropramen. How am I doing?


LOL...he said what do you know...not who do you know....Teacher instructs..."put your hand down Robert"

[loveboof]

Franz Kafka

Didn't know he was Czech. Could Metamorphosis work as a psychological insight into the secret concerns a tgirl could go through in the early stages of her transition?

Read it years ago (and I know the guy turns into an insect lol), but I mean if you interpret his insecurities and stuff...

Not sure - can't really remember.

[Dino Velvet]

A lotta lotta hot tail comes outta the Czech Republic. If the country bent over I'd insert my wiener in it hoping it lands in Silvia Saint's mouth.

[fred41]

I also thought it was totally cool when that hot model , a former "Miss Czech Republic", smuggled those photos out of Cuba in her bra.

[wjcdiver]

Got sold out by the British and French in 1938 in order to get "Peace in our time...", we saw how well that worked out. That's what you get trusting the Labor Party (or the French - French Army rifle for sale, never fired, dropped only once) on security issues. Chamberlain in effect surrendered one of the 5 largest armies in the world, larger than the British Army at the time, and the largest arms factory in the World, the Skoda Works to Hitler.

You clearly know more about Czechoslovakia than you do about the UK.

Chamberlain was a Tory = Conservative and a hopeless appeaser, but I suppose any opportunity to bash someone to the left of Hitler needs to be taken.... And of course the sellout of Czechoslovakia was craven in the extreme.

But the myth of French military impotence is simply ludicrous. They were rolled over by a ruthless but very well organised military machine that was prepared for war on a scale that the world had never seen before. Both the British and the French were unprepared, but don't insult the bravery of the French army in that terrible summer of 1940. The French military were hopelessly let down by the indecision and cowardice of their government.

But thanks for coming in two whole years later. Much appreciated.

Is it still cool to be a Slovak there?

[robertlouis]

Is it still cool to be a Slovak there?

Yep. The "velvet divorce" was never based on any sort of ethnic rivalry.

[GentsPreferTS]

The expulsion of over 2 million Nazi loving ethnic Germans after WWII.

robertlouis you doing great
and i want thanks anybody who wrote something about my country thank you!

[Stavros]

If we must discuss the over-rated misogynist Franz Kafka, most of whose published books were 'finished' by Max Brod, at least acknowledge that he was born a citizen or rather, a subject of the Hapsburgs, as Prague/Bohemia was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire when Kafak was born there in 1883. A vigorous independence movement achieved some of its objectives with the creation of Czechoslovakia after 1918 and Kafka spoke fluent Czech and actually preferred it to German, his mother's favoured tongue -it was a matter of snobbery; rather like the 19th century Russians who thought their own language was vulgar and preferred to speak in French.

I have long wanted to go to Prague, where Mozart's Figaro and Don Giovanni both received their premieres, Mozart loved the place, that's a good enough recommendation.

[dderek123]

Lots of beer drinkers there. Most in the world actually.

Insane sex tourism industry as well. Even bigger than Thailand.

[European21]

dderek123 thats true, shame
but i dont think czech republic is better for fuck that thailand

"ethnic Germans"?

At the end of the second world war there was a huge transfer of peoples across Europe, a kind of revenge ethnic cleansing, if you will, in which ethnic minorities were either forcibly expelled and/or returned to their racial homelands.

In 1938 Hitler's premise for seizing Czechoslovakia was that ethnic Germans in the Sudetenland, in the southwest of the country, were being mistreated. His troops entered via the Sudetenland where they were greeted with open arms and then marched on Prague, where their welcome was rather less enthusiastic.

The Czechs remembered, and the Sudeten Germans were all expelled, most of them returning to the broken mess of Germany. It happened all across the continent, in East Prussia, Hungary and other states which had previously had substantial German minorities.

It's not well known, but it was in fact the biggest forced migration in history to that time.

And European21, my part of England is dotted with former Moravian chapels, so clearly there was a large presence, if not of actual Moravians, then at least of your particular brand of protestantism.

I should have added to my post on Mozart in Prague that I have been listening to Janacek's operas for years and years, especially Jenufa, and Katya Kabanova. Jenufa was premiered when Janacek was 60. His music is the antithesis of Wagner: what the German takes two hours to do Janacek compresses into two minutes, but without sacrificing either drama or intensity, or beauty in music. His operas are dramas of village life, its oppressive impact on women particularly if they want to be free of the expectation heaped on them not just by the men, but by the women too: in both Jenufa and Katya there are two elderly women, like dragons, embittered from their own experience of life, but socially respected, who impose impossible demands on their young women: I can see these social pressures working badly on young 'men' who want to transition.

I don't rate Dvorak's operas much, but his chamber music is divine: the piano quintet op81, piano quartet op87; the string quartet 'the American', the string sextet op48, but esp the string quintet op 97 whose climax is one of the most joyous passages in music!!! Love it!

[Bobzz]

This was one of the more educational threads here. Not some much about the Czech Republic but the fact that a small handful of posters have a fairly sophisticated appreciation for Czech music, history, beer, etc, and for something other than which girl you'd like to have top you or vice-versa! Nobody's mentioned the fabulously bizarre city of Kutna Hora and its ossuary chapel or the hot springs of Karlovy Vary (nee Carlsberg) home of the other national treasure Becherovka (think of a clove cigarette that can you drink!) My wife is of Czech extract (and a Czech beauty for sure) and each time we visit Prague I feel like I'm visiting her clone factory (a lot of Czech women seem to look like a lot of other Czech women and that's not bad at all!). The only other place we've seen more naturally hot looking women is Krakow (and being of Polish extract, I'm biased).

[Prospero]

Well I missed this thread - but my favourite animation artist is Czech Jan Svankmajer and I admire the Czech novelist Milan Kundera (especially the books he rote before going into exile - The book of laughter and forgetting and the Unbearable Lightness of Being) and Karel Capek (who coined the word Robot) , the poet Jaroslav Seifert, the playwrights Pavel Kahout (thanks to Tom Stoppard - also born a Czech - he did a short play "Kahout's Macbeth" during the late soviet era), ivan kilma and the great Vaclav Havel.

I love Prague and most of all I love the music - Martinu, Janacek, Dvorak and Suk.

I love the music made, against the odds, in Theresenstadt (Terezin) byCzech Jewish artists who were later murdered.

I recall my anger as a child at the crushing of the Prague Spring and I know about our great hero Jan Masaryk, thrown from a window.

Your great film directors including Milos Forman, Jan Kadar and Jana Bokova and the great pioneer of education and religious thinker Comenius.

And some pretty great tennis player - Jana Novotna, Tomas Berdych and martina Navratilova.

That's enough on the Czechs from me.

PS And i LOVE those girls you posted. Beauties.
PPS I had some of the worst meal I'd ever eaten when i visited Prague in 1980.

[Prospero]

. The only other place we've seen more naturally hot looking women is Krakow (and being of Polish extract, I'm biased).

Try Budapest. More beautiful women there than any other city i ever visited.

I agree on your assessment of Dvorak's operas. On the other hand, his Slavonic Dances could have been the perfect musical backdrop to the great opera he never wrote. In my opinion, the Slavonic Dance No. 1 is musically structured like an overture; the rest of the Dances seem to fall in place. Anyone up for writing the libretto?

[Stavros]

Not sure about an opera, but as they are dances, a ballet sequence would make sense. Unlike Prospero I don't rate Milos Forman's films, I love the acting in Amadeus, but the play on which it is based, and the subsequent film is not what I want to see -I much refer Straub/Huillet's Chronicle of Ann Magdalena Bach as the mode of biographical film with musicians- but I don't suppose Amadeus qualifies as a Czech film anyway. Poland's cutlural milestones must include the theatre of Tadeusz Kantor, a rare example of experimental theatre that appears to combine chaos and meaning at one and the same time. Much as I have admired the films of Wajda over the years, I prefer the more daring and extreme stylists of Hungary in film, Miklos Jansco, and Bela Tarr, whose epic Satantango has, shall I say, a devoted following (an English translation of Krasznahorkai's book is imminent this year).
The women don't interest me, although I did chat sometimes to a young woman called Branka who was from Bratislava when she worked in our local chemist shop.

[Bobzz]

A light opera or operetta, a la' Candide or La Perichole perhaps. I have successfully avoided any marionette puppet performance of the opera Don Giovanni in Prague but I did catch the Prague Saxophone Quartet do absolutely wonderfully crazy performances of Vivaldi's Four Seasons and An American in Paris in the church right off of Seminarska. What a talented bunch of musicians, think of the Marx Brothers meet Victor Borge. As a city, Prague has always appealed to me as one of the more musically inclined and appreciative. I read that nearly 3 out of 4 people in Prague play at least one musical instrument. Thankfully, not all at the same time.

[Prospero]

Thankfully, not all at the same time.

Now that would be quite a blast!

[qwerty81]

- don giovanni by mozart was first performed at the estates theatre in praha, which still has performances of it... ignore the morbidly obese american woman sitting behind you complaining about the lack of ac and arguing about leaving the door to the box open.

- the first defenestration of prague started the 30 years war between protestants and catholics.

- the good soldier svejk by jaroslav hasek and saturnin by jdenek jirotka are two of my favourite books.

[Stavros]

I realise Ivan Klima is Czech, I read some of his stories a few years ago after hearing Rich Men are Strange on the radio. The music scene in Prague does look vibrant.
