Not going into the office is an effective way of preventing the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, because it minimizes the risk of you coming into contact with someone carrying the disease. But working from home comes with negatives which you may need to prepare for. Many companies are suggesting workers who can get the job done from home do just that. Have a space to work in We’re sorry to say you will need to get dressed and get out of bed. Maybe not as early as usual – but having a space to work in is crucial for your state of mind, and not just in terms of being in a “working” mindset but also so you’re able to turn off when the working day is over. Most of the essentials for working from home are things people have already; a desk, a laptop, a work phone – you don’t want to be running up your own phone bill if you need to make an international call – but take stock of what is available in the office and what isn’t. If you need access to your company’s intranet, figure out how to access it...

There is beer everywhere in the Czech Republic. We’ll teach you all about it! How to order a beer in the Czech Republic? How to drink a beer like a local? Should you have Hladinka Snyt or Mliko or Čochtan? Do you know what is it? This is the language Czech people speak to the bartenders when they order a beer. And not even all Czech people understand these terms. The Na Dvakrat (crisp) is the classic Czech pour, and what most beer drinkers are used to seeing in a glass of beer. There still is enough foamy head to protect the beer from oxygenation. If you’re eating a big meal and savoring a beer with different flavors and courses, the Na Dvakrat is definitely the way to go. The Hladinka (“flat top”)is half foam and half beer which keeps the flavor in while keeping the beer fresh and balanced. That thick head of dense, wet foam gives the beer a perfect balance of sweetness and bitterness while sealing in freshness and flavour. Crisp, refreshing and delicately bitter, the Hladinka pairs perfectly with rich foods like a duck. The Čochtan is a beer with no foam. For...
Primark retail chain will open its first store on the corner of Wenceslas Square and Opletalova Street. The Irish apparel brand is set to open its doors next May. The 4,700 sqm store is likely to attract not just crowds of tourists to the top of the iconic square, but many Czechs as well who were previously willing to travel to Dresden just to see what deals the price-conscious store had to offer. But there is something more. Primark decided to expand to Brno and open a second store in the Olympia shopping center in 2022. The new store spans 3,600 square meters. The contract was signed by Primark with the shopping center on Wednesday. “Since the announcement of the opening in Prague, we have been looking for a second location that will become part of our expansion in the Czech Republic. As the second-largest city in the country, Brno offers a great opportunity to reach other customers,” said Jose Luis Martinez de Larramendi, Primark’s Retail Manager for the US, Central, and Eastern Europe. Primark sells everything from baby and kids clothes to women and men’s apparel, homewares, accessories, beauty products, and confectionery. “Primark is one of the world’s leading...

The Guardian on Saturday published a list of the “10 coolest neighborhoods in Europe”. Together with Järntorget/Långgatorna in Goteborg, the University District in Brussels, El Cabanyal in Valencia, and Neukölln in Berlin, the British newspaper mentioned Prague’s Holešovice. “Holešovice was for a long time seen as a bleak district with little to offer locals, let alone visitors. Its impressive resurgence over the past decade or so has been largely thanks to creative and commercial entrepreneurs taking advantage of low rents and empty spaces – apartment blocks, factories – to create a vibrant infrastructure of galleries, shops, cafes, clubs, and bars. Although not as postcard-pretty as Stare Mesto (the Old Town) or Mala Strana over the river, Holešovice’s blend of industrial buildings, 19th- and early 20th-century tenements (with some lovely art nouveau blocks) and occasional communist behemoths makes for interesting meanders, and there are cultural treats aplenty too,” reports The Guardian. The most attractive places are the National Technical Museum, Veletržní Palac, which is part of the Prague National Gallery, and a variety of contemporary art spots. The DOX consistently holds outstanding exhibitions in a former factory complex. Halls 7 and 8 at the Prague Market were transformed into a home...
