    Vysehrad

    Posted by CarolGreenwood 12 November 2005

    We lived in Prague for years from1996-2000.

    I never got bored of this beautiful city - lots of places were favourites of mine, but Vysehrad was a wonderful walking area.

    Our son was born in Podoli hospital just next door to it, facing the Vltava.

    My advice would be enjoy Prague but theft is a big problem around the main tourist areas. Hold onto your bag tightly.

    Follow Vltava toward Praha 4 and as you get to the tunnel through the mountain, look upward.

    Japanese customer service

    Posted by CarolGreenwood 30 October 2005

    Once you experience the service in Japan, going back to Britain will never be the same. Expect the finest courtesy and graciousness from bars, hotels, stores.

    It is recommended we remember our manners in return, best to keep your irritations and road rage at home, it does not have any standing here.

    We have lived here for 6 years and I have met 3 rude Japanese people compared to the useless attitude I experience when I come back each year to Britain.

    I have walked home late at night after a Girls Night Out in Roppongi and never encountered any loud mouth louts, I could not do that anywhere in Scotland.

    Tokyo is a wonderful place for those with a heart for adventure, we love it.
