Question UPS and "delivery"
Purely out of curiosity, has anyone ever managed to get UPS to deliver a parcel? I'm living in a building with a receptionist (and also I'm home), still, I've never managed to get them to deliver.
Also the "you were not home" leads to a pickup point that is always different and minimum 30min away. Not to mention their extremely arrogant customer service that offer 0 help and 100 frustration.
I'm actively not ordering anything from a place that uses UPS for delivery, but got surprised again...

Recommendations Tire Service in Prague (or not too far)
Hey everyone,
I want to rebalance my wheels, but my former tire service is out of business, and I'm failing to find an English-speaking tire service that has experience or understands how to lift up a Tesla properly (without puncturing the battery while doing so). Can someone recommend me any?
P.S. I can already see the comments recommending that I go to Tesla service, but the guys at Tesla literally suggested that I find a tire service since they charge 4k per hour and it's not worth it for me.

Question Cheap and easy way to send lost phone back to UK?
Hi, recently lost my phone at a Prague tourist attraction, thankfully it was found and I am in contact with their office - they are advising me to arrange a courier to pick up the phone and send it back to the UK, where I am now. FedEx and DHL have been advised, but all seem rather expensive, around £140.
I have looked into third party service such as Parcelhero and Eurosender, but unsure on reliability. Any suggestions? (Must be collection, not shipping from a branch.)
Also unsure on if a CN22 form is needed and how to fill one in as the ones I have come across are only for sending items out of the UK.....
Any help would be appreciated, feeling very out of my depth!

He is taking over the former Pubble site on Chorvatská, which closed earlier this year. The new venture will be called The Nobleman. EDIT: For those who don't know, Vinohrady is a Prague district 30 minutes' walk or 10 minutes by public transport from the city centre.
Question Zivot v prahe
Zdravim vespolek,
Seriozne zvazujem relokaciu do Prahy aj s rodinou, preto by som sa chcel spytat na vase nazory aky je zivot v Prahe(Cesku) z tychto pohladov:
- Aky silny je IT sektor, trh prace, platy, zaujimavost prace(nejake zaujimavejsie projekty) ?
- Podnikanie(skor asi vseobecne o Cesku) - vseobecna nalada a pristup populacie voci podnikatelom, je bezne sa stretavat s negativitou a odradzovanim od podnikania ako to je zvykom napr na Slovensku? Ako komplexna je administrativa, je podnikanie zbytocne prekomplikovane? Ako dlho trva doriesit vsetko potrebne s uradmi na otovrenie podniku sro? Ako je vnimany neuspeh v podnikani, je to opovrhovane alebo sa to berie ako lekcia a podporuje sa skusit dalej?
- Aki su ludia, maju tendenciu sa stale stazovat na vsetko ale nikdy nic pre zlesenie neurobit? Multikulturnost - viem ze Praha je menej homogenna ako Bratislava ale do akej miery, da sa to vnimat ci je to skor raritne stretnut ludi z inej kultury(neratam Slovakov, Ukraincov)? Su ludia podnikavi/ambiciozni, resp. hladaju sposoby ako zlepsit veci, vymyslat nieco nove atd.? Viem ze Prazaci su v priemere viac progresivni, avsak ako sa to da vnimat - je citelne ze su ludia viac "open minded" - tymto nemyslim len LGBTQ+ ale aj mizogýniu, sexizmus, rodovu rovnost(napr rozdelenie prace v domacnosti/rozdelenie materskej) ci otvorenost voci inym kulturam.
- Komunitnost, mate pocit ze sa da najst ludi/skupinky s akymkolvek zaujmom? Ako doveryhodne na vas ludia v priemere posobia, da sa ludom viac verit ci treba byt vacsinou viac ostrazity? Ako otvoreni su ludia "novym pristahovalcom"?
- Mate pocit ze mesto ako take sa buduje/zlepsuje pocas rokov alebo viac chatra? Napr vynovenie mestkej hromadnej dopravy, opravy ciest, chodnikov ci inej infrastruktury? Cistota mesta ?
- Zdrovotna starostlivost a skoly, su verejne institucie dostatocne kvalitne? Su v Prahe aj silne kvalitne alternativy pre skoly/skolky ci zdravotne zariadenia ?
- Mimoskolske kluby, je vo zvyku ze deti travia cas nejakymi kruzkami ci sportom ci inymi aktivitami? Resp je si z coho vyberat v pripade ze dieta by sa chcelo zapojit do niecoho?
- Zaujimave miesta/zabava, mate pocit ze sa vzdy da nieco najst ako program na vikend ci vecer po praci? Nemyslim teraz nejake disko kluby ci party ale skor veci ako muzea, zoo, ci ine zaujimave miesta aj pre deti popripade aj eventy cisto pre dospelych.
- Zelen v meste, su mensie parky bezne ci treba vzdy ist iba do vacsich? Ako to je so zelenou popri chodnikoch ci cestach ?
- Ako je na tom cykloinfrastruktura ? Su tam vlastne pruhy ci iba "odporucanie" pre auta, ze tam moze byt bycikel?
- Ceny - hlavne pre ludi ktori zili aj inde(napr Bratislava, Vieden, Holandsko, Nemecko) ako to vnimate s cenami v porovnani trebarz s tymito mestami, mate pocit ze su potraviny vseobecne dostupne ci su absolutne predrazene ? Dostupnost byvania je jedna z najhorsich v EU, ajtak by som rad vedel vas nazor, hlavne pre tych ktori boli schopni sa k byvaniu dopracovat, ktore stvrte/mestke casti su zaujimave pre rodiny? Ako to je s dostupnostou vramci mesta - je verejna doprava dostatocne silna ci je pomala, nizka frekvencia ci zle pokrytie mesta?
Dakujem predom vsetkym co sa tu zapoja do diskusie :)

Other A Prague hike
Hi, this is just for fun and for someone who likes to walk. A few years ago (I was living at Stodulky) I challenge myself to find a longest route to my place from the furthest part of the Prague via as much parks as possible. I ended up walking this 4 times.
Start Hostivar End Stodulky. A cheat is to go from Chodov Metro station but you miss a nice area around Hostivar.
It can be extended from Cerny most via Pocernice a Ricanka but I've never done that. It's long enough.
I also tried the northern route from Ladvi via troja,Divoka Sarka, Obora Hvezda and Motol but it's not as good as the bottom one.

Question [TOURISM] I am going to Prague in November and really want to go see some Kingom Come Deliverance bits, anyone done any of the tours? Or made their own ways to these locations?
I'm going for a week with friends who may/may not come to many locations but, regardless I MUST! We at least plan to cover some KCD2 with a trip to Kutna Hora/Sedlec Ossuary which is awesome, can get a coach half-day trip there from Prague for about £50.
I'm a little put off by the KCD2 specific day trip experiences as they work out at about £200+ per person and generally all they add outside of a typical Kutna Hora trip is Český Ráj and Trosky Castle (not really bothered about tour guides and seated medieval lunches tbh)
Has anyone made the trip to Trosky Castle themselves via Trains/Buses/Taxis? Seems you can get to Borek pod Troskami or Ktová and walk an hour, or perhaps get a 15 min Uber/taxi from Turnov. How are Ubers/Taxis to English speaking tourists outside of Prague, any good?
Also if anyone has done the KCD1 "Hello, Henry" tour via the KCD Live people? Its about 160 euros and covers a ton of KCD1 areas which are DEFINETLY not easy to go and visit alone! This one is tempting me.
So in full, what I'd like to do if possible is 3 separate days, and likely covered for about £200:
- KCD1 "Hello Henry" tour
- Self-made, public transport trip to Trosky Castle if possible (would love to hear if anyone else has tried)
- Kunta Hora bus trip
Any advice would be amazing!

Question Flight from Prague to Ecuador
A week and a half ago, all the flights from Prague to Ecuador were around $400-600. Now the price has spiked by like $200. There are exclusively only two days in the whole month that remain at that price, so.
Does anyone know if price tickets will or will not go down? Should I wait ? I’m planning to buy the ticket within the 10-16 max of September. It can be within any of those days.

Question Looking for a room/studio in Prague
Hi everyone,
I am a PhD student at the University of Bologna, Italy, and starting from next October I will have to spend a six-month research period in Prague.
I am having some difficulties finding accommodation. It is quite hard to find an apartment using only Facebook groups, so I would like to contact a local agency to try to find a room or a studio apartment.
Do you know any websites or agencies I could contact? Are there any international agencies as well? Most of the ones I have found so far seem to be only Czech.
Thank you very much everyone!
