Fun facts from Prague (with a grocery store theme)

1. Cashiers sit down instead of stand. Took me a while to realize the difference.

2. Most (all but one so far) are at least 50 years old.

3. You have to buy paper or plastic bags (about six crowns) and you have to bag your own groceries. You start to feel the pressure when there's a long line behind you, which usually is the case.

4. Most Czechs only buy a few things per trip. They must go every day.

5 (non-grocery store-themed). The metro lines are stacked on top of each other. To get to the bottom line (I forget which color that is), you have to take a massive escalator. I've been told that they're the longest escalators in the EU. I've also been told that they were built so deep during the Cold War in case of a nuclear war. So the metro here is basically a Czechoslovakian nuclear war shelter. Pretty cool.
