    We all know that these past few months (or if only months) have been hard for everyone so we'd like to contribute a little by showcasing some small businesses in Prague so when you arrive, you can support them as well. Hope you'd like this as we'd like to continue in this series for a bit and show some more places we like and we think deserve the extra help.
    Also huge thanks to all of our Patreons who help us create new videos every week after we left the huge media house and had to delete 95 % of our videos. Thank you for sticking with us!

      Hi Janek and Honza, I've been watching a lot of your videos since I'm moving to Prague soon (can't wait!) and look forward to local businesses like these :-) But the video didn't make me want to visit the last two places because it shows nobody even trying to keep distance when possible, and masks nowhere to be seen. Janek mentioned that he knows these people so it's ambiguous whether we're seeing a slice of his private life, or if we're seeing what it would be like as a customer. But after this video, I'm not really curious to go there and find out.

    About 5 years ago when we first arrived in Prague , my wife and I were walking around old town and found this wonderful antique shop. We wanted to look again for it but could not remember where it was or what the name of the shop was until now. It was bric a brac and it was the one in the courtyard. Thanks a lot for this episode .

  •  Pƙed 3 lety +4

    This was a good episode! It's rare for tourists to think that should they support local businesses and usually they go into some global big named brand store instead. I visited Prague years ago and ended up outside the city center into some old lady's shop where she was selling handmade scarfs, wool socks etc.. She even offered us coffee and we sat there like an hour and only few people visited the store so this episode reminded of that store a lot! And yes, I bought scarf and wool socks that I still use today in winter.
