Trip to Prague
==============

I have had to  visit two Czech cities: Pardubice (it  was lat week) and
our capital, Prague. In both cases it was a work-related visit but I of
course many of my colleagues are also my friends and I have met some of
them after rather long time.

Today it has been  much better visit that it was  in the Pardubice last
week (I  explained it  the reasons  one of older  posts). I  visited my
colleagues  at the  Czech  Technical  University in  Prague  and the  I
attended a conference related  to assessment of research organisations.
Both parts  were rather interesting.  I was more  happy when I  was the
University  as we  discussed our  future cooperation  and other  common
topics.

Now I  have been  on y  way home.  I always  use state  railways (their
Pendolino trains) - I like their individual seats with table big enough
for my  laptop. After train upgrade  there are easily available  a 220V
power outlets (it also incorporates 2 USB ports). In-train WiFi network
includes (among  others) a music  portal. Now I'm listening  old Slovak
songs (70~90' music I think) and I'm  writing my post. I'm too tired to
be able to make any real work.

They  "upgraded" their  food  offers  (it can  be  ordered on-line)  by
removing of  breakfast menus  but added  some interesting  main curses.
I  have  tried  one of  them  (a  rolled  port  variation) and  it  was
surprisingly good. There was no time  to get any normal food during the
whole day so  it is very nice to  get so good food here (even  if it is
slightly expensive).

In Prague  itself I  used the  Prague Metro.  Nothing unusual  here. It
worked as expected. The conference was in a building near the Wenceslaw
Square. There are some informations about demonstrations at this square
on local news servers. Maybe they moved fast to another place because I
saw n one  (I don't consider the Russian-speaking  and Chinese tourists
to be demonstrators).  I tried to buy something in  local KFC (for some
reason I'm doing  this always when I  am in Prague and have  no time to
visit anything better) but there was too much people.
