Are you planning to spend the upcoming weekend in Prague? We have you covered!
Susta Strudel: The Myth, Busted... (Recipe included)
The Susta strudel is an establishment you simply have to know about to find. There are not signs, directions, no online presence, no advertising, nothing. Mr Susta bakes his strudels in a side street of the Zizkov district in the shadows of the Vitkov National Memorial (a sight we definitely recommend that everyone visit), in the "kocarkarna" (formerly a small storage room for baby carriages) of a prefabricated panel house from the 1970s.

Karlovy Vary Film Festival
The Karlovy Vary International Film Festival is not Cannes. And that's probably a good thing… Here's a last-minute tip for anyone who's in the Czech Republic in the next few days, loves movies and wants to see something really local and something really cool - the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. A festival now headed by the powerful and charismatic duo of Eva Zaoralova (who picks the movies for the festival) and Jiri Bartoska (a famous actor who does the fundraising, I guess), the Karlovy Vary Festival ("KVIFF") is one of the few Category-A film festivals (just like this in Cannes, Berlin or Venice) and the largest in Central and Eastern Europe. However, the festival quite differs from others of its kind.
