Prague and tourism
No violent robberies, we clarified, but better to have it clear that someone can put hand in your pocket or purse you just forget. Second, higher prices as more you zoom to areas more tourist-although this can be seen more in things like souvenirs and food in the beer, which always remains in fairly reasonable prices. Thirdly, the appearance on the streets of many people who are dedicated to live on the margins of the tourism industry, you ask money in Czech, who want some firm listed for going to know what reason they want change dollars, euros, or currency that is. Did not include here the issue of pickpockets, which separates the first point-I am not going to mix these things with the theme of crime, this is different topics. Fourth, engage several times to look at bureaux de change before changing euros or dollars, as several paid significantly less or commissions charged for their work.
In other words: Prague is the place where we must recover the sense of distrust tourists, something which I can not help but feel as a loss, or as a state of things you would not want to live. It is not a moral issue: it is simply a matter of freedom. The same freedom from Budapest and Bratislava are not repeated in Prague, where he had to re-ignite the "tourist sensors." Of course, there are far worse places in this sense, but in comparison, Prague was the place in the list of this trip that was closer to that point. It is supposed to be logical that where there is more business, there are more participants seeking to draw something from him. And there is more business in Prague, and we are part of it. Like it or not, you're going to play the game.
