Country:  | Yes Pisis the floods were terrible. I remember how they tried to save everything in the cathedral. It really is a shame the historical damage that was done.

Country: | Yeah. Most bad was hurt a quarter called Karlín (most of the photos are from there). My Grandma lives there. I went there only one week after the flooding - like after the war - several houses had collapsed, everything up to 3 meters was destroyed - people who had flats in the 1st stock where throwing mood out of their windows with showels... crazy. If you played ever the RPG game Fallout - certainly it looked alike! | |

Country: | Thanks. We were the whole family in Italy when this happened and her friend from the UK (my grandma is unbelieavable vital - she's 79 and still teaches at the Charles University and is involed in many exchange programs) was there - he was evacuated on a boat!  But the falt is in the 6th stock so no problem. But as I said, we were in Italy and the first new we got was "Whole Prague is underwater!" so we were scared a bit (although our house couldn't be hurt, it's on the outskirts - Letňany - on a big hill) but then the things came out real. Still it was a shock, many of my friends and people I know were evacuated or lost their cars, etc... But paradoxically it helped Prague to enquick the renovations of it's monuments. | |

Country:  | Sorry to see that Pisis but I',m sure it will bounce back.
As for my favourite city I have none each has a plus side and a minus side I have yet to visit a city that I cant find something that is not worth seeing about it.

Country:  | I heard a story about a guy who was back-packing in Rio, starts chatting to this girl on the beach, the girl suggests going off for some fun. As they are about to set off, she pauses and says,
"Oh by the way, is it okay if I bring my girl-friend too?"
