It was a box of goodies prepared by a lovely group of London mum's, who thought in case of emergencies I might need:
Tea and marmite...
Kendal mint cake in case we get
stuck up a Czech mountain,
The Union Jack to hang outside
the front door to annoy the neighbours
A shot glass in case times get desperate
The British Embassy address and some
useful phrases to pin to my coat
like this one
'I'm sorry I'm from England, and I do not understand a word you just said'
I wanted to add my own survival tips:-
Keep smiling and nodding yes, even though you haven’t got a clue what’s going on.
Don’t rely on google translate it can cause all sort of trouble.
Although one’s Czech may improve suddenly after 2 beers, be warned it rapidly goes downhill after a few shots of anything stronger ; )
