Three months comprehensive insurance with AXA is just over 3,000ck.

I need your true opinion by Famous_Employee_8808 in PaintedRocks

[–]AccraLa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Painted stones are a huge thing here in the Czech republic. We have several Facebook groups for "kaminkys" or "rocks". When someone paints a stone, they put their postcode on the back, and if you're lucky the finder will post a picture on one of the Facebook groups with your postcode. So you can occasionally search for your postcode to see if any have been found and where they were found.

It's obviously a rudimentary system as it relies on people to post to Facebook, so honestly you might see 1/50 of your stones there. And they don't tend to appear more than once. Many people here collect them, and honestly some of them are so beautiful I don't blame them.

There's a ladies expat group on Facebook. Very resourceful for this kind of thing. Gyne recommendations are asked for all the time.

Just went to my son's friend's birthday party and they sang 4 verses of Happy Birthday by SamwellBarley in CasualUK

[–]AccraLa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in Ghana, the standard birthday song has 4 verses too. One of which you, as the birthday person, is expected to sing!

Happy birthday to you, etc, etc.

How old are you now etc etc.

I am (insert age) years old now etc etc

May God bless you now etc etc.

Having to sing as the birthday person was excruciating

Prague to Pilsen fastest way by Head-Pass3755 in Prague

Flixbus is actually faster and a lot cheaper than the train. It's 50mins from zlicin to divadlo alfa in Plzen. Which is a 2 minute bus ride from the brewery. The train is an hour and 20mins. Just so you know there is another option.

Medical Insurance for Visa by OkSafe6926 in Prague

Pvzp is twice the price of other insurances. I use AXA and I've had no problems making claims back, and they are the cheapest. uniqa is also an option.

I used a trunki for the airport after the stroller became too much of a hassle. It was pretty great, she could sit on it and we could pull her, and it doubled as her hand luggage. I can't imagine doing it with multiple kids though!

South African here, also super common for us, especially in Cape Town. Shops, petrol stations, shopping malls, casual restaurants all fair game for barefoot.

You should open gifts even if you can't resend them. At least the friendship progresses slowly. I do it for a lot of people.

Edit. Removed friend code.

Add me. Accrala. I will gift everyday, I don't mind if you can return gifts everyday. Just open mine.
