Hi Ray (or whoever else may be "in the know" 
)
My wife and I are going to be in Prague for about 4-5 days around the end of March this spring. I have a couple questions about Prague that I'm sure would enhance our experience there.
* First, most obvious, question: Where should we stay? I know our currency goes a lot further there so we're very willing to boost the quality of our accomodation for this bit of our trip. As far as hostels go (as a backup): what do you think of Sir Toby's? How about some nicer hotels or even b&bs? Our price range can go as high as $80 US a night but I'm sure we won't come near that.
* Any truly must see places we gotta get to? We're not picky, museums, galleries, parks, historical stuff, architecture, partying, all that (we're in our early 20's so there's plenty of fun to be had). Just some suggestions (even just names, we can do all the extra research for address and such).
* Being there 4-5 days, we probably will want to do a day trip or two...any that you highly recommend? Again, open to anything.
* Last one: we're traveling there by train and out by train...any suggestions or tips to some english-only speakers? I have a feeling the Czech Republic will be the most challenging as far as language goes...but that just makes it that much more fun, right!? Let me know if there's any sort of guide or cheat sheet for words we should get prior to going so we can find our way a little better (or if there's enough english-speaking helpers).
Sorry for the long winded post Ray, but we certainly appreciate the info. What you're doing out there is remarkable! We love the posts, we've even considered staying in Europe (as a far-fetched dream, but who knows), it's cool to hear there's something like teaching that can make it happen (and teaching something we know inside and out at that!).
Take your time answering this one (even in multiple posts), we won't be leaving for London until March 10, and probably won't get into Prague until March 26 or 27 I think.
Take Care,
Chris and Leah
