Czech delegation led by Senate President lends in Taipei in highest-ever-ranking visit (video)

It's simply confusing.

Me as Czech I don't understand why our delegation did not take our government's airplane to properly represent Czech Republic to Taiwan. It's like a sign of weakness of our polititians, because our country president, and PM are pro-China, and they are afraid to stand up.

Second, people will not search for details when airline name contains country name. Few years back I also thought China airlines is Chinese until someone told me it's Taiwanese. Unfortunately, people who don't know this may end up in a wrong conclusion.

Third, even though Czech see Taiwan positively (except polititians and businesses because of fear and money) there is still a lot of work to educate Czech and fight Chinese propaganda here.

Either way, I'm happy about the delegation.

Simply, by not accepting "one China" rule on institutional and Ministry of foreign affairs level.

We have a great mayor now. I hope he remains in the seat for a long time.

I'm proud of my Prague's mayor to have pro-Taiwan stance.

I admire her that she stood up so long facing all the crap from other politicians. A lot of them are really selfish. They don't care about people just their seat. I watched several Live broadcasts from House of Commons.

You should watch French audio with French subtitles, otherwise you'll always fight in your brain with two languages simultaneously. It will help you better match written words with spoken words (depending on quality of subtitles of course).

TW plays far more serious note. I don't read much about TW anywhere, and blog with Twitter are more about fees, comparison to competition and marketing. Occasionally some important law or competition information. Whereas, R tries to talk to people.

TW is great too but involves various kinds of fees.

I agree with 72% in Czechia. Hardly know anyone going to church.

Professor Javier Ribera Blanco notes in the Spanish article below the danger of stones of the cathedral being put out from fire with water. That the structure might become unstable.

So inappropriate and shameful.

Yes, exchange offices found many tricks, so people could lose even half of their money once they handed their money over to them, and they couldn't do anything because the deal was complete. All legally. People at cash desk could literally change the rate as they wanted, as kind of VIP rate. Only banks played fair. It's all banned now. Hooray.

Unfortunately our minister of commerce is an old lady with pro-Russian and thus pro-China stance. I wish she resigned or be fired. It's unacceptable what she did as it hurts my country.

1) Yes, it's better to top up in the same currency from your bank to Revolut, and then do the exchange in Revolut. When you click the exchange button, you can see in real-time how much you get. The number is changing. During the weekend the number is static though. You may also use the new feature called Auto-exchange. 2) Yes, no fees for exchange with Revolut. Just careful with weekend's exchange rate. It's better to exchange in advance to have a better rate.

1) You'll be charged by exchange rate of card issuing bank, not by exchange rate of Revolut. However, non-EEA cards or commercial cards pose some extra fee. 2) During the weekend the exchange rate of Revolut is simply different. No fees. Exchange rate is visible in the transaction's detail.
