The Gulik Vacation '98

Well, that we did. The first part of the experience was renting a car and finding our way around a foreign country. I speak a little Polish, so that wasn't too bad while we were there. But, we decided to venture into the Czech Republic to visit Prague (Praha) for a couple days, and that's where things got really interesting.

My family in Poland told me that since I speak Polish, I should have no trouble communicating in the Czech Republic as the two languages are very similar. Well, shortly after crossing the border, I realized I was in trouble when it took me several minutes to ask the woman behind the counter at a gas station where the restrooms where. Once in Prague, we had few troubles as finding someone that spoke English wasn't too hard, but when our rental car got a Denver Boot put on it because we accidentally parked in a space reserved for members of parliament, the fun began!

I tried to use the proper characters whenever I could, but this only seems to work on some browsers and not on all operating systems. I tried my best, but I'm sorry if it didn't come out. Please contact me via E-mail if you have suggestions for making it work more reliably.
