Pros and Cons of Living in Czechia

"There ARE some manners I like. People willing hop up to give somebody older their seat on the bus/train. People offer the help with directions a lot. There are no standards with dress, everyone wears what they want to wear! Its great. There is no corporate standard..levels within society. Most people like to relax and enjoy life..with a beer," replied an expat in Prague.

"Expats in Czechia appreciate the country's rich cultural heritage, which includes a variety of architectural styles, art, music, and literature. They also enjoy the vibrant nightlife, with its many pubs, clubs, and restaurants. Additionally, expats appreciate the friendly and welcoming nature of the locals, who are always willing to help out and share their culture with newcomers. Finally, expats enjoy the affordability of living in Czechia, which makes it a great place to live and work," remarked one in Czech Rep.

"The language, and mannerisms of czech people. Street signs!! Terrible..You have to approach crossings slowly as there are no traffic lights..very rarely. Smoking everywhere..indoors/outdoors..young teenagers..you name it," said a person living in Prague.

"Expats in Czechia often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture. Czech is a difficult language to learn, and many expats find it difficult to communicate with locals. Additionally, the Czechs tend to be quite reserved and formal in their interactions with strangers, which can be difficult for expats to adjust to. Furthermore, the Czechs have a strong sense of national pride and can be quite critical of outsiders, which can make it difficult for expats to feel accepted," explained one expat living in Czech Rep.
