It is 2.10am as I type this sitting outside Prague Central Station as Boff and I wait for our train to Berlin. The reason we are sitting outside the station is that our train doesn't leave until 4.29am and we had no idea that the station closes until 3.15am. There are no benches outside and apparently the park nearby is full of dodgy types (I consider a comparison to Belmore Park next to Central in Sydney). Does this make the Czech Republic a civilised or uncivilised country?
Smoking allowed in restaurants = uncivilised
Intact castle with thriving tourist trade = civilised
Taxi drivers and cafe waiters tricking up the bill on (maybe) unsuspecting tourists = uncivilised
Beer is cheaper than cola = civilised
Beer is cheaper than tea = uncivilised
Public toilets that cost 5-10kr (25-50c) to use but have automatic gates?
Bureaucrats who won't let you into an exhibition she says will take one hour to see 45 mins prior to closing time?
Having a working funicular?
