I can't be the only one who REALLY wants to know what was down in the tunnel 😂
I was just looking a for a comment like this! We need to know!
I hated that faked stupid part so much I almost stopped watching
Mole people
Maybe a guy peeing?
@@marcinkwiatkowski9926 That would be akward walking in on sure but would you really run away because of it?
Now I want to go to Prague simply so I can see what is down in that tunnel 😂 I mean this guy goes after dangerous scammers without fear and yet something down there scared him so bad he literally ran away.
My bet is that is was not so much what he saw but what he smelled.
@@js-pb2kf I think you may be right. But then why not just say it smelled horrible down there and be done with it? Instead he said --- I will never tell you what I "saw" down there.
@@You-Be-The-Judge I think they were just trying to be humorous. But yeah, it would smell atrocious to be sure.
Maybe a couple having sex.
Educated guess: No light and a lot of human excerement
A bike path that goes between nowhere and nowhere? Did they take lessons from American city planners? I swear I've seen so many bike paths implemented seemingly just so the city leaders can say "oh yes, we have X miles of bike paths." Nevermind the fact that most barely get used entirely because there is no reason to use them because they start near nothing and end near nothing.
He's exaggerating, the "parking lot" on one end is actually a rather quiet street, and the exit on the other end is on another quiet street. So it's not that bad and serves its main purpose - passing under a bridge and thereby avoiding an unpleasant crossing.
You can't put bike lanes in a place people want to travel - they would take up space needed for cars.
That's because of crappy car centric design and implementing bike paths without proper planning. There's multiple areas where bike paths turn into just painted lanes because there's a stroad and not enough space to easily build the path or the city hasn't completed it yet. Even long bike paths will get used if they have proper connections. In my town there's about a 2 mile section missing that would connect a massive trail network to a state park along with another large bike path.
@@caseymurray7722 The "cycle gutter." Technically a place for bikes... if you don't mind wingmirrors missing your handlebars by inches, and getting pulled towards the road by the suction of every car passing at speed.
Cycling on pavements is illegal, but a lot of cyclists do it anyway because they know it's a lot safer than trying to share a road with cars.
2:40 I didn't build nothing !
looks like a begginer Simcity player
😂
In seattle there’s one intersection where people have been asking the city to add a crosswalk for a decade. Someone finally got fed up and painted a sidewalk there themselves, and people started using it and cars slowed down- it worked!
One day later the sidewalk was removed and the city bragged about removing it on Twitter
Should have painted it as a rainbow. XD At one point my city had pride-colored crosswalks... but then they changed them back to the white ones. A lot of people were pissed because both times it was taxpayer money and lasted less than a week.
Seattle has more serious problems than a crosswalk
I hate the Lime Scooters too! They are all over here in Kraków now. People leave them wherever they want, often blocking sidewalks.😡
I feel frustrated by the irresponsible assholes as well but there are just as many people using them that are responsible and put them off the sidewalk in plain view and really appreciate having them for being mobile around the city. I wish people would be more responsible and lime or the city should hold them accountable for being irresponsible with where they leave the scooters.
I’m curious about what he saw down there 😂 4:11
4:15 TELL ME WHAT WAS DOWN THERE
a scammer
Czech‘s biggest media export…hint, you won’t see it on CZcams;)
Probably human excrement. 💩
Public agent?
We must know!
The similarities between Gdansk and Prague is truly scary!
Czech here, last week I was in Gdansk, and I really enjoyed the city, didn't found something bizzare or weird. (ok well maybe the iron walls (dunno how to call it) right next to a river, so you can't see the view, but yeah thats it :d
@@Ah0jtadyHanka I was referring to the management. We had the same battle to build an over the road crossing. We also have left over highway like streets from the communist era. Drivers protest here as well. We have the same issue with bicycle lanes and parking lots. Almost exactly the same. It's like they are reading from the exact same play book
Do you mean Danzig?
@@Tobi-ln9xr Wow, you're so edgy.
гданьск, польша пипо
These rental vehicles are getting insane. I am surprised my city here in the US is cluttering our trails and sidewalks with this urban trash from Lime.
Here in Hobart we destroy them. They keep sending them, we keep breaking them. Will they go broke before our river is full of their vehicles? We'll find out soon enough.
In the USA you should be more concerned about stupid, detrimental and nonsensical personal trucks such SUVs not these tiny electric scooters which are great for micromobility.
We aren't dense enough populated for this to really catch on and be efficient but I do love having the lime scooters around. I've used them a couple times. My issue is they get left in corners and dumped in parks and there's really no dedicated place for them to park and people just leave them in the middle of the sidewalk. I never thought much about it until I realized my neighbor who is legally blind has trouble with stuff like that. They're mostly white, the sidewalk is light, the sun is out and that's a very dangerous trip Hazard to have in the middle of the sidewalk.
Not sure how to remedy this but it would be great if they could or people were just a little more responsible about putting them slightly out of the way but accessible
Funny story: My city cleaned up some waters near a nice park and found quite a few of the rental bikes clogging things up.
I once walk around an old but busy city alone, wandering around, dont really know what to do and came across an underground stairs that nobody use anymore. I immediately greeted by a scary mannequine, obviously put there to scare people, probably as a prank. But later at home I looked it up, it was actually put there by the homeless and drug addicts that dont want anyone to bother them. It's lucky that I had that reaction as he had instead of going inside.
That's the real journalism! Seeing things from 2 perspectives
Great work guys
Lime and the other scooter companies often just show up and dump the scooters in the city, even where it's illegal and they've been banned.
That's why they often end up at the bottom of a river.
honestly, love both the positive and negative videos. A humorous way to look at city changes.
“Let me explain you…”. Sir, you cannot explain me in just one video. 😉 When I taught in Gymnazíum my students always said that too and I thought it was adorable.
Why Czech construction takes ages is beyond me. It took them three YEARS to redo the cobblestones on my street in Prague 4. Why? Because.
are you a bot or what
I watched 3 men take 5 days to put 2 bags of sand into a sandpit in Pague 13. I can only assume that they couldn't drag the jon on for any longer.
They were back a couple of months later, it took them almost a full day to replace a single piece of 1m by 30cm wood. It was already varnished and had the holes pre-drilled, so really all 3 people did that day was undo 4 bolts and do them back up.
@@wydua2049 Why would they be a bot? And what kind of bot would have a problem with missing "to" in a sentence?
Actual work is pretty fast, problem is time before they start doing something. 😀
The good thing with our lovely country is, we always do the right thing. Eventually. After we have tried everything else.
The rental scooters are a plague at the moment. In Brussels some of the sidewalks are already too narrow for people to pass each other without stepping onto the street, but even on normal sidewalks with scooters parked horribly or literally lying across the sidewalk how should any mother with a stroller or someone with a physical disability get around without an absurd level of inconvenience? That isn't even to start mentioning how scooter riders seem to have no idea that they are not supposed to be riding on the sidewalk if they going faster than the average pedestrian. Can't wait until they are either banner or required to park in designated areas.
Also popular in my area are giant electric scooters that can easily do 50kph. They should be classed as motorcycles and follow those rules. Silently passing within a meter of pedestrians at that speed is seriously dangerous, especially when coming from behind. Of course it will take a lethal accident or two before anything is done.
@@scottwilkins6966 We have those electric scooters too. They’re classified as "bikes" because they have pedals. Which you don’t have to use. Some people remove them altogether. They’re hugely popular among the food couriers, such as "Wolt", because these bikes are allowed om pavements (yes, in Norway you are allowed to bike on the pavement!!). And they are a nightmare, noiseless, soundless, weaving in and out among pedestrians.
Oh, that crap is everywhere. We are cursed with them in Norway, too. However, in Bergen, you can often hear them coming, thanks to the many cobblestone-paved streets. Their rattling gives them away!
In Paris, they held a referendum whether to ban them in the city, and lo and behold! The Parisians voted them OUT! So when you go to Paris, the pavements will very soon be safe!
Don't get me wrong, I love Prague and I want to come back every time I can. But I also have some comments about the city.
You mentioned a dead end to dead end bikeway, but I rode my bike thru a bikeway that ends ON A HIGHWAY! and I realized that when I was seeing cars passing me by at more than 100 km/h while they were yelling me insults in czech 🤣
Other thing: If you are staying in the outskirts of Prague, for example, Tukhomerice, and you must come back there from downtown late at night in the metro, you must be very awaked cause you can end up in MOTOL and that is the middle of NOWHERE and you won't have any transportation until 5 am. In that case, you can do like me and walk thru an awesome and dark forest avoiding wild pigs attacks and get to your destination after 2 and a half hours.
I was in Prague last week. As you recommended, I ate at Stridacka. The chicken & cabbage with rice was excellent. If anyone is looking for a vegan place to eat, I can highly recommend Loving Hut (Cerna Labut). Good food and good prices.
9:15 "We're most curious if people will watch more and like and comment more on the positive video or the negative one"
9:26 "From what we know from the past, people like to watch more the negative stuff rather than the positive"
Here are our bonus Czech terms of the day: sociální/společenský experiment/pokus (social experiment; that's the two videos together), testovací subjekt (test subject; that's us), hypotéza (hypothesis; that's the second quote).
Also, I wouldn't necessarily say people like negative content, but it's just that anything negative draws more of our attention (because it's potentially harmful, which is also why news in general tend to be negative - if things are good, we don't need to do anything about them, so that requires less attention). And I agree with Honza: who said you need to have only one view about it? You can be grateful that the positive changes happened, but still criticize the details of the whole process (not only it makes sense, but it's also an honest analysis - which is on brand for you!).
Hi there, last year after watching you videos we visited Czech Republic and stayed in Lipno nad Vltavou on the Austrian border.
We fell in love with you country, so much so we have booked another 3 weeks this summer in Vysoké nad Jizerou, near Liberec.
At some point you should just go for candidacy in the mayor-of-Prague elections. You take so much care of this city and have done so much already at your scale of things to improve it that you would be the best person to do that job ! Go for it, you would win in a landslide !
This is crazy cause they first thing I did on my first day in Prague few months ago I eneded up on that crosswalk that lead me to nowhere haha😅
This video on the negative impact of tiny changes in our city is eye-opening! It's amazing how seemingly small alterations can have such significant consequences. It's essential to be aware of these issues and work towards making positive changes to improve our urban environment. Thanks for shedding light on this important topic!
Even though the things highlighted seem silly, I can understand that it could be tricky to make changes in a historic city.
I hope to visit Prague because of this channel. Europe is far more interesting North America (IMO) I'm a proud Canadian 🇨🇦 but after visiting my husband's native Budapest, I can't wait to go back. Apparently Vienna is an easy ferry from there, so maybe that's next.
Scandinavian countries are also on my wish list💗

Although it's not a secret that all slavic languages have lots of similarities and lots in common, I find it fascinating that I, being from Ukraine not knowing any Czech, can somewhat predict how the word will sound. This doesn't mean that our conversation in our native languages would be flawless though.
I just think it’s fun that Czech is pronounced more or less as it’s written, as opposed to French. Those c’s and s’s with the little inverted "hats" on them are easy to remember. (You know, as in "Skoda" and "Cai" (tea). Otherwise, I can’t understand Czech, since I’m from Norway and speak Norwegian, a Germanic language. Czech, Polish Ukrainian and Russian sounds somewhat similar to my ears (although I can probably guess whether a person is speaking which language, it’s purely based on the sound of it). I’ve picked up a very few words of Polish and Czech (haven’t we all when travelling?), but I do not at all speak or understand any of these Slavic languages. :)
@@cieludbjrg4706 Certainly French is pronounced how it's written, you just need to know the rules of it
@@sjbarras , not it's not: the sounds "eau", "eu", "au", "ai" are such of prime examples of that...
@@aderitodealmeida5644 If some grouping of letters always* sounds the same, then surely you can say it is spelled how it sounds...? like spanish ll, digraphs discount all languages? i will give ai having two different sounds but it still follows a general rule and that makes it better than a great number of languages in this regard
@@sjbarras , a group of letters "always" sounding the same way doesn't mean they are "faithful" to the ortography... and in french that is absolutely true, because all of that letters, isolated, are read quite differently.
Man that was a plot twist at the end
I saw the older video when it came out and every single point here just sounded like it's either weird or incomplete, but generally tends towards an improvement of the city
We NEED to know what was at the bottom of the stairs at 4:10.
It's generally a pedo
I remember running late for a train once from Praha hl. n. and took that short-cut (before it was widened). Unfortunately we had our suitcases and we actually had to go on the road for the last bit! But if you walk another 20'ish metres from where you stopped filming there's an entrance onto platform 1. Or you can keep walking to the main entrance and go down the escalator. So it's not so bad, but you need to know the layout of the station. :) I love being back in Australia, but I do miss living in Prague...
Now, I really need to know what he actually saw down there.
A Guy pooping in a cardboard box.
Scooters will be removed from Paris streets for the exact same reasons you give here.
I've watched your video about positive changes, then I visited Prague and I was like, hey, it's not as good as Janek said. Now I see What you did here.
I once was in a czech city where they had similar machines. it was a super old tram, but they were filled with these supermodern cash taking machines. the downside was that i was confused, because there were old ticket machines which were not working (where you punch a number and they only have a display what to pay
So to compare these changes to the rest of Europe for example Paris, Amsterdam, Brussels. Singapore is a pedestrian friendly city. Manila, Kuala Lumpur definitely not. So the magistrate of Prague can decide where to stay in this row.
6:30 - Prague is slowly becoming the backrooms xDDDDD
So amazing these traditional Czech trdelníks! Absolutely lovely!
Sorry. Just joking. 😂
Some changes take awhile because authorities wait for the next street reconstruction to do any tiny thing. They could paint the lanes of course, but to make it inclusive and regulated they had to do more than that. Waiting and getting positive changes is not that bad - waiting and getting no actual changes but surface repair is much worse. Imaging seeing a street repaired without adding any inclusivity or bicycle infrastructure and knowing it will stay so for the next few decades.
Man, I wish our crossings (in Ukraine) were as inclusive as this 7-years beauty :D
Russians just painting lines willy nilly?
@@castorchua Russians are mostly busy shooting civilians and committing other war crimes.
But the issue I mentioned predates the invasion. Now of course all the infrastructure reconstruction are blocked, we need more money for.. uh.. something else.
I am curious of what you saw in the underpass. Not a tourist spot, isn't it?
Ah darn it, I only just left Prague and off to the Airport. I wish I could've gotten the chance to see this video and check these changes out. Still, overall, there were quite a lot of good parts to Prague during my visit
Me too, i left Prague then i found all these videos and i'm still looking cause he's good at narrating and entertaining. I really like the videos
3:28 I was walking to the train station exactly there the other week and felt like you described. If it wasn't for two other seemingly more experienced people walking in the same direction in front of me I'd have been way more confused.
i loved both video, so commenting on both videos 😃
also, i would really like to know, if someone knows, if the ex parking space (near the mayor´s office and library) where now is place for people to sit, if this is a part of a café and you could order some things form near by, or these are chair and tables only for sitting?
I forgot when i lived in Prague. ✌
I have lived here about 10-years (originally from Los Angeles, California). I adopted my daughter here and the bureaucracy and rules for everything are so crazy... It took me over 7-years to finalize the adoption. I had to sell my home in California and move here...not my original plan. I LOVE Prague, but every time I have to go to ANY government office...I prepare myself by saying, "okay, there is going to be a problem...just expect it." This way, if on the off chance, it goes well...I'm pleasantly surprised. And...when it doesn't go well...I'm like...okay, let's do it again...and again...
Dude, all city governments are the weirdest governmental bodies on the planet.
You'd think they'd be more efficient because of the smaller size, but no.
NIMBY is not about the government.
Man I hate the Lime scooters
I think electric scooters/ electric bikes and electric skateboards are the future for those that don’t want to spend unnecessary money into a piece of metal like a car or overpriced public transportation like here in Switzerland.
Park the crap in designated parking areas, stay off the pavements, have a good insurance for when you hit somebody. Have a good dentist on hand for when you kiss the pavement. Which you will do, sooner rather than later. It takes just one tiny bump, some wet leaves, and you’re out. Overpriced public transportation? Define "overpriced". How far do you get on a single ticket? What is the relation of a season ticket (a month/3/6 months) to the average income in Switzerland?
@@cieludbjrg4706 I think you look at electric Skateboards like their the same skateboards from the 1970s to early 2000‘s… their completely different and I’m sure from what you’ve wrote, you’ve never been on one 🤷🏻♂️
There are better wheels these days for skateboards and it takes way more than just a rock to make you go flying. Electric skateboards have also better breaks than most bikes/e-bikes. In Switzerland after 10pm to 5am there is hardly any public transportation outside cities and if you don’t wanna drive or can’t afford a crap piece of metal that you call car, you’ll pretty much stuck in one place. I think it doesn’t matter what you drive, important is to follow speed limits and street rules. I have disability with my right arm so I feel more comfortable and save riding an electric skateboard because I can use the remote with my left hand. In Switzerland if you have an electric scooter or e-bike and you swap the throttle to the other side, it’s already illegal. Tell me what would you do? 🤦🏻♂️ you might of had bad experiences with teenagers riding around like crazy but that shouldn’t count for all the other electric skateboarders that drive responsibly and use them as last mile transportation. In Switzerland a monthly subscription for public transportation for the entire country costs around 420CHF or 225CHF if you have disabilities.
I love your dedication, I will be visiting Prague in June coz of my Czech/Slovak friends would like to see you around if I’m lucky ❤
As a American of southern Polish descent, i always watch these videos and think that Janek looks like my cousin.
There's no ethnical difference between southern and nothern Polish. We're all just Polish.
Honest Guide at it again. Thanks again guys!
Oh I remember ….I got lost right there (on the way to train station)…that sidewalk ..didn’t let nowhere near the station …so confusing !!
The lime scooters are an eye sore in my opinion. I live in a large city in the USA and I see them literally everywhere. People throw them in garbage cans, onto highways, into rivers, etc. Not only that, but they just get in the way all the time and when people use them, they are reckless.
To be honest, there is big difference between being negative and realistic. In a lot of cases people are not negative but realistic when they complain about something being dumb. Problem is most people are just oversensitive and say it is negative point of view.
I ve been to a lot of european capitals, but this may we visited prague and totally fell in love with the city. My heart lives in prague.
6:16 when I was in Prague, I really enjoyed that spot :D went there multiple times XD
Anyone else curious on what he saw in the subway....honestly surprised no one talked abt it in comments
be honest, what was in there?
3:58: You can get around the end of that fence, round the buffer stops at the end of platform 1a.
They should make a bike path all along the Vltava from Smíchov to Maniny. All of the bridge vehicle underpasses have parking spaces that could be turned into a bike path.
the stupid rental scooters ruined my city in America too! It took a pregnant woman falling off one of them and suing to finally get rid of them.
Historical protection office:
"Wanna demolish that 19 century building with the original decorations in the facade to put a modern apartment building? Sure!"
Also the Historical protection office:
"WHAT?!? You wanna level a street?!?! Are you crazy?!?! That street at that level is part of our history!!!"
Maybe you'd like to make a video abot cycling in Prague. I was shoked how poor cycling infrastructure is in this city so I'm realy curious about this
There are a couple of things that I also want to point out:
(1) Now it seems that all pubs encroach on sidewalks. Especially going from Křižíkova tram station towards the river (or even towards Žižkov hill), you will see the extent of encroachment. I am always pissed off walking from there adjusting my body.
(2) Moreover, near the 'Hotel Royal Prague', they park their tour bus on the sidewalk (near Rohanské nábřeží road) every single time. Just a month ago, I saw the instalment of green thick rods to prevent the bus from parking on the sidewalk, but what the hotel guys did: Park the bus a little further on the sidewalk where these green rods are not available (sadly in front of my building's main door).
The corner of 'Hotel Royal Prague has become a hotspot for smokers.. too many smokers every time. I have started using another path to go to my house so that (1) I don't have to smell the shitty cigarette smoke each time I pass the street and (2) I don't have to pass through a very narrow footpath which is already encroached 60% (by nearby pub: Vinárna Křižík) and 10% (by nearby parked cars).
Wifi (WiPrague) doesn't work at every tram station despite being installed (at least at the Křižíkova tram station).
Those scooters are the scourge of cities everywhere… here in Aachen we have e-Bikes with dedicated charging/parking spots and they're so much nicer, faster and safer
@0:00 - because unlike in the previous days, we have something call the citizens' participation. We have to process all the complaints from nearby houseowners etc. The NIMBY phenomenon.
I didn't watch this in detail, but clearly the problem isn't the scooters, it's how much space is dedicated to cars. When you give cars 20 meters of width and people 3 meters, then scooters appear to be the problem, but the real problem is still cars.
Hey fellas, I used your channel to plan a trip a few years ago and loved those crazy elevators. I want to tell a friend about them but have no idea what video you mention them in, can you help? Thanks so much!
Reminds me of the bullshit from my city. We had 4 medieval citygates, the only city in my country after WW2 that still had them all (because by the time of WW2 my city went from one of the richest in europe to one of the poorest in the country). You'd think great lets keep it that way. Nope, 1 was demolished in the 50's to "create more space to not obstruct cars" yet that road only has cars going over it when either the 10 people with a parking spot behind it that live there go there or for market sellers to set up.
But that's not all, the second gate was demolished for an even stupider reason. The mayor in the 70's demolished it because "he didn't like the look of it".
Luckily in the 80's the city center became protected, which in turn protects it from our politicians. But that's not all, city counsel changed the lights lighting up the city tower (main and historic feature of the skyline), you might think a nice natural color. Nope, hard red and than argued it couldn't be changed. However after people started to write into the local paper complaining it looked like a giant brothel it chaged to red-ish purple. Better, still shit.
Than we have the "historic" canoe route that was supposedly there on a single map. The local, and only, canoe club wasn't aware there was any canoe route there and noted they had no intrest in the route as it would be a rather bad route. People who's family lived next to this supposed "historic" route when it was supposedly a thing noted the couldn't recall a route ever being there. And you guessed it, the local government "rebuild" the canoe route for 3 million euro and after 10 years I still have never seen anyone using it and I live close to it.
It sounds like someone had a good idea for these changes and there was extra money laying around to burn, but not enough to do the job right. Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, the historic preservation commissions of many cities make it impossible to construct an improvement in the most effective way. This makes these jobs appear to be half-assed to the observer.
It's more like there was enough money to make the job right but then everyone took a bit of it so there was barely enough to do the job poorly.
@6:15mi enjoyed the "hideous" part of the park. its exactly where id go cause i know itll be away from everyone else.. and still visually pleasing enough to hang out at lol.
wow this is much better than Kuala Lumpur where motorcycles are allowed to ride on the sidewalks and scare the hell out of me.
and sidewalks aren't consistent at all so pedestrians ended up either in the ditch or nowhere. =)
Gota know what was down there
The bike path from car park to car park had some serious City Skylines vibes.
Incredible video. Thanks
The lime scooters helped me travel across Prague with so much fun I have to say they made your city better
These scooters are great on asphalt but horrible on the cobblestone
Positive - your videos are fantastic Negative - The graphics are annoying no need for them
I think those white line crossings are just designed to kill off distracted Australians tourists. Even after a few years in Europe I would forget that those white lines don't mean that all drivers have to stop for you whenever you want to cross.
8:50 You got me there, I was confused the whole time, I've seen it all before, haven't I?!
the Algorithm only showed me that you posted THIS video and not the previous weeks video.
I've never actually noticed the weird extension situation at Malostranská even though I get on and off there a lot, but I think I'm just oblivious
The new park situation is weird, but I like the seating, and for the first time ever I saw one if those boat docks actually being used there
_But the number of times I've nearly been hit by tourists on Lime scooters or almost tripped on them lying around on the sidewalk is irredeemable_
tell us what was down there >:(
love ur vids btw
You dont need to know. its kinda scary
@@TheMrFilipin try me
Have you made a video on how to ride public transport? How to buy a tram or bus ticket and how to read them? There was a video about the subway and I haven't seen a video about other means of transport.
Please tell us what u saw down there :D :D
As a Prague local, I can tell you it is probably number 1 and number 2 :)
That pedestrian area in Vaclavske Namesti, is that to be used for something specific at all times? because it looks like a plain of nothing. I thought they would put up gardens and/or trees so that people can relax in the summer
5:50 Concrete planters instead of concrete bollards, bit of wooden cladding on them. Voila, cheap, bit nicer and reverseable.
Wanna go to Prague just to go look what’s down there lol.
I have a joke. How long does it take a Czech to paint a crosswalk?
7 years...
has anyone from the city of Prague seen this yet?
Lol when you come to my country and see the road networks and public transport, it is game over
Ahh there is a new Park. Woundering why to see so many pictures of this odd angle of the Carles Bridge.
It all looks to familiar . . . It's like all local governments in Central Europe are using same books of "how not to plan a city" or maybe it's just how Slavs are doing it? Who knows, it will forever be shrouded in mystery.
greetings from Poland
drivers in Prague only stop at a zebra crossing, if people dare to walk across it 😛
To be fair, youtube recommend me this video, and not the one about positive changes (not even in watch more), so there will be a little bias, but now when I know, I'll patiently wait for the another to pop out
You seem like the kind of guy who has strong opinions on which fonts to use.
The fact that these quirks are the worst things about Prague just solidifies my love for Prague..
This guy needs to be Mayor. END of Story and Prague Wins!!
“Bob the Builder and his one eyed son” nice 😆
I do not agree with crosswalk on such a busy road nor advocating it should be there sooner.
Love your channel, now I need this, but for Slovenia
Hey, what's the best website to find a flat to rent? mean long term. thanks
this reminded me of the episode of Regular Show where the Drusnian spy (czech/russian parody country) tries to steal the park because "their own parks sucked"
This was not taped this weekend. No one was wearing a coat :)
Cant Help but Wonder if Edinburgh council and Prague are twinned in their ability to prioritise stuff no one wants or needs and take half a decade to fix the real issues
With that bike line ... it seems you borrowed city planners from our city, Brno, for this one. We have loooong experience in such planning of bike paths ;)
