“Czech Republic is a country full of history and culture, which have caught my attention since I was younger. I am an architecture passionate and this small piece of land in Central Europe is a museum in the open.”  Rangel from Brazil

“The most special moment here was Christmas time. For me was like a movie, the markets on the streets, cold weather, sweets and the Christmas spirit, is one thing that I’ll take forever in my heart from here. As a phrase I read says „you will never be completely at home again, because part of your heart will always be elsewhere“ well, for me this „elsewhere“ is here in Czech Republic.”  Juan from Argentina
