    What do you like or hate most about the Czechs?

    Hey Joep,you are so right!I just found this discussion and I have to tell you that speaking dutch in Belgium is really such problem to me,I understand everything but once i have to say something i get scared of saying something wrong,scared of people laughing me out so I rather always say I speak english although I could speak dutch without any problem...I just have to figure this out and be more self confident like you said!

    Anyway what I have heard about Czech people was mostly not really positive...mostly that we are cold not so warm...I see it in Belgium,everybody kiss each other,hugs and in Czech you simply say hi and that's it..then I have also heard that we are just not polite and that we don't speak any languages!Of course there are some exceptions but it's true that when you come to Brno or even to some smaller city and you ask someone something in english it will take a while till you catch someone that will understand to you.In Prague it's mostly not a problem.But now I'm thinking...is it that the Czech people don't understand english or just don't have a self confidence?:-))).
