    If you are single, its not a bad place either, as long as you are not a dribbling drunk sweatstained yob wearing dirty jeans and a smelly football shirt.

    On average the girls there are mighty fine.

    Not sure what it would be like to live but certainly slightly cheaper than other major European capitals, and its a beautiful city.

    A lovely city.

    Never worked there but spent a few happy holidays there. It's getting more and more expensive of course and is somewhat blighted by hoards of drunken British yobbos on stag/hen events lately I am told.

    If I had a chance to work there, I'd jump at it, frankly.

    £400 / day in Prague's very good.

    The average earnings in the Czech Republic are ~£900 month although in Prague it's a bit higher (~£1100).

    I think Sockpuppet worked there for a while. Perhaps you could drop him a PM?

    So you'll earn the average monthly salary in about 2 days.

    Flights from Geneva to Prague should also be pretty frequent thinking about it.

    I went there a few years ago with the wife and really liked the place but I suppose things will have changed a lot since then.
    From what a mate who lived there for a while tells me (I cisited him there as well), it's pretty expensive in the middle/touristy bits but gets markedly cheaper when you stay in the more real bits.

    Think it's good generally, but the bureaucracy used to drive him absolutely mental. To the point it made him leave.

    I'm working there again a couple of days a week from mid-June.

    For rental places, I'd recommend sreality.cz - note: they've got a section in English. As there's such a huge expatriate community there (mainly American arts students "finding themselves" (*******)), two websites exist that would be of use:

    www.expats.cz
    www.prague.tv
