Great story! I have never been to Salzburg but I now I feel that I have!

Great story Derek! Very poignant story.

Doing Europe: Prague, Czech Republic

I don't care if people know that I wrote to my friends saying that I think Fred is an pretentious knucklehead! Nor do I care that people to I am an beginner writer. My writing is for FUN! And so is this thread!

Doing Europe: Prague, Czech Republic

I don't mind criticism! I like pointers from other writers but if they are constructive, professional and not personal attacks on a fun story I experienced 10 years ago on while living on a budget of $1500 in a foreign country. At least I had the balls to go out and experience travel and live abroad for 4 years instead of sitting on a computer roaming around local San Diego journals. I love this thread too. Fred is being pulled out of his closet (in so many ways) of being a tool and finding out what kind of people (dynomite101) advocate Fred the Great. Fred your existence is quite entertaining! It's as entertaining as going to Prague, 'banging locals and drinkin absinthe'.

Doing Europe: Prague, Czech Republic

Hey Fred, mamabear is my wife and she feels the same way I do along with others.I accidently used her account to post a comment. Don't get your panties in a bunch Knucklestick. I have my own account. Man, you are quick to criticize people! The Reader knows who I am. As I can see, you still don't get it do you?- Czechs have told me that they say Fakt, jo. You are still acting like you are a Know It All! That's the kicker, you are so far into yourself to make other's feel below you by 'helping them improve their writing' and 'correcting'. You don't 'help others improve their writing' by calling then names and putting them down. I am surprised The Reader allows you to be as insulting as you are. I got an idea for ya pal, keep your 'corrections' to yourself and don't read my stories nor anyone else's that you feel you need to exude your Mr. Know-It-All attitude. It seems like I'm not the only person who feels this way. Go enjoy Prague! Mr. Golka is right, you go trolling around a small San Diego publication while you live in one of the most beautiful cities in the world?! What's the matter with you?

Doing Europe: Prague, Czech Republic

Take it easy Fred. No need to get all upset over an article! Jeez. You sound like you are Mr. Prague! Who the hell do you think you are to say these things? How long have you been there? Honestly, I don't care, I was there for two years and I lived with my Czech girlfriend so yes, I probably know more about Czechs and the Czech culture than you do. A Czech friend just emailed me and told me they say Fakt, no. You obviously didn't drink the absinth with the little pieces of wormwood in the bottle. Sorry Fred Van Gogh! Prague is a 21st Century in it's own right cause these days more and more people are going to the wonderful city IN THE 21ST Century! I never said Prague wasn't cheap now. It was cheap when I was there! I have no idea how expensive it is now. Czechs are Czechs- it's an expression knucklehead- they are always going to be the great people they are even while their city changes. Sounds like you will end with some enemies from the looks of it. I was saying that Prague is freakin awesome city no matter how much you know before you go there. Man, you are really reaching on that one! I am not pretending to be an authority on the Czech culture- you seem to be Mr. Czech. I lived with a Czech girl, traveled to her little town in Novy Jicin SEVERAL times, took part in more Czech traditions than most people do- I was lucky enough to have had that experience. I did party yes but I learned more about the city/country than you think by traveling to dozens of towns and cities while I was there learning about the culture like going to pig roasts in the middle of the countryside with a whole Czech family or going out with Czech friends to their homes to learn about their life. It's a FUN writing piece pal and thanks for taking the fun out of it. Take it easy brother. You make it sound like I am making fun of your mother or something! Fred, you don't mean well and your Mr. Know It All attitude proves that you're the one who has THE SMUGNESS. I think you should go out a little more and enjoy yourself while you are there and not reading the Reader online. There's more of the city for you to see.
