Prague in June: Packing and Sightseeing Tips
Hello,
We’re heading to Prague with so much excitement from June 10th to 20th. I’ve got three main questions for those who live there or have visited:
- What are your thoughts on what to pack clothing-wise? What’s the weather usually like at this time of year? We’re a bit sensitive to the cold—we live way down in southern Andalusia and are used to the *calor* 😎... Should we pack rain gear? Are we likely to get a lot of rain (which we’re dreading a little, but we couldn’t choose other dates)?
- I’ve seen there are "passes" for various attractions, museums, and sites, including one that’s valid for 10 days but costs a whopping 160 € per person—that’s an average of 16 € per day. Do you think it’s really worth it? We won’t be spending our days rushing between every indoor site; we also love wandering the streets and discovering things a bit "at random." If we do two paid visits a day, that’ll probably be the max... Can we make it worth the cost with that? Of course, we want to visit the castle and take a boat trip as a minimum. Are the sites included in these passes iconic, or are they more "minor" attractions? Does having the pass help us skip long lines?
- Finally, a question about communication: I speak French, obviously, plus Spanish and English fluently, but very little German (haven’t practiced in ages), and no Russian or Czech at all. My husband knows a few words of Russian, but it’s "Cuban" Russian—about the same level as my current German 🙂 !! Can we still get by without too much trouble? We don’t want to spend 10 days not saying a word to anyone and communicating only with gestures!!
Thanks for your valuable tips and opinions.
Cotonou au Bénin: logement et budget mensuel
Bonjour,
J'arrive dans trois semaines tout pile à Cotonou pour y passer à priori deux bonnes années, voire plus !!
Je me réjouis déja mais j'ai bien sûr quelques questions pour les voyageurs avertis et les Béninois de Cotonou !! Combien faut-il compter de budget mensuel pour vivre normalement en couple (alimentation, téléphone et loisirs ) ? Je viens avec mon mari qui est adorable au point de me suivre partout où ma vie professionnelle me pousse...pensez-vous qu'il puisse trouver un emploi localement ? Il est maître-nageur, instructeur nautique, éducateur sportif et a déja travaillé comme professeur d'éducation physique en établissements scolaires et en clubs de sports ? Même pas trés bien payé, l'important est qu'il ait une activité et une vie sociale.... Dans quels quartiers me conseillez-vous de chercher une maison à louer ? Pour avoir une maison correcte, confortable, avec si possible un générateur....
Merci à tous ceux et celles qui pourront me renseigner.
A bientôt.
