So, I’m guessing she changed email addresses. Sorry we can’t be of more help in connecting you to her. Good luck!

I do not know if this is the right one, however. Please have her contact me if so. . .I would love to pick up our correspondence.

Sincerely,

I know this is crazy, but I’ve been looking for Jana Chu Svitek. My apologies for hijacking another friend’s blog. J, it’s Mon from El Camino! How do I reach you?

Polska/Slavikova happened to be our first extended stay in Prague, with friends. Buon Giorno, the place across the street, is OK in a pinch. But for the best pizza in Prague (at least when we were there), try Trattoria Roca on Vinohrady or Giallo Rosso, for quick pizza by the slice. Both are listed on the map in this post: https://uncorneredmarket.com/2007/09/eating-ethnic-in-prague/

Thanks for the Mandarin tips. And agreed, Czech with its seven cases, is tough.

Most intense and visible begging – surprisingly, on the streets of Tbilisi, Georgia.

Regarding Central Asia, we still plan to post another two dozen articles (including a food and markets rundown) about our experiences there…we’ll post them while we are traveling in China.

No kidding… you guys used to live in P2? Each time we go, we live in Vinohrady, just a few blocks east of Riegrovy Sady, off Slavikova and Polska….it’s great there. We let a garsonka and use it as home base, since Florenc and HN are so close by. Were you anywhere nearby, perchance? Do you recomment Pizza Buon Giorno?

BTW, given that you’re in China now, I wanted to teach you both to say, WOMEN HEN XIEXIE NIMEN… i means, We truly thank you (plural), pronounced, WOH MEN HUN SHIEH SHIEH NEE MEN… or DUOXIAO QIAN? =kolik to stoji? pronounced DWOH SHEAOWW CHEE EN?

I’m tellin ya, of all the jazyky I know (1.Cantonese, thanks Mom and Dad 2. Spanish, thanks El Camino High!, 3.Mandarin, thanks Cal Berkeley), Cz by far is the most difficult to learn, owing primarily to the 7 declension tenses… they absolutely drive me bananas…I wonder where the begging is most intense and aggressive of all the countries that you have been to thus far.

Thx too for sharing re: the spurious and heartless welcome to China, for after I went to SZ (Shenzhen) in late 04, I can understand some of what you share…

Anyhow, I thrilled at the post whereby you guys went to eat huoguo, or dah been low (hot pot, shabu shabu, what have you…).. right ON! I love it! I must read on to learn what you both have been up to the last 4 mos. in Central Asia, subsisting on every derivative of goat known to man..

Best,
Jana Svitek
