Here is where beer was invented, or so they say ... Plzen, Czech Republic. It has some cool old late 19th century architecture, too, with a beautiful huge town square and train station. And much less commercialization than western Europe.
And the language? I can't read or understand a single word.
My train ride here was just plain fun. We got just across the border into the little Czech town of Chub, It was like taking a step back into the 1950s. Everything is older and poorer here. My train had the old compartment cars and I had one to myself from the Czech border to Plzen. I got to stick my head out the window and I felt like running up and down the walkway (but I didn't). It is a beautiful country and not so sophisticated. (My dinner, though, was as good as any I have had anywhere)!
Oh yeah ... and I love how the Germans put all their words together in to a single loooooong word!
