On May 9, 2006 five Georgia College & State University students set out from the Atlanta airport for a three week study abroad program in the Czech Republic. This blog is intended to be a record of that trip.

Smoking Permitted

Kuks is home to the second oldest pharmacy in Central Europe, in the hospital on the hill. Today we will take a tour.

The castle here in Kuks burned down in 1896. The way people smoke here, it´s surprising there aren't more fires, as this photo of the placemat at the restaurant we ate in last night illustrates. Note all the burn holes.

The students are no fan of the smokey public spaces found everywhere. I'm guessing they probably like the new no smoking law at home in Georgia even if they didn´t before they came here.
