featured on drudge! pretty sweet. Last I heard he was having a rough time, but I hope he gets some good reform through the country. When I was last there it was going through an insane development period! Every train line was under construction too.

People did have a problem with the casinos on every block. You walk through the streets of prague and they have completely destroyed some beautiful buildings by tearing off the original centuries old stone or brick and replacing it with cheap marble or neon lights. Kinda sad.

The guy kicks ass - He's an honest, practical guy who actually got elected President speaking the truth. He won my respect a while ago. One of his better moments:

Yeah he's awesome. When I saw him in the news again a few days ago, I went and checked out the immigration policies for C Republic. They are pretty strict. Have to live there for awhile to be considered, and you have to learn the language. I didn't see any easy way in for "in demand" jobs like New Zealand does.
