My dis- covery was Czechoslovakia! Standing at the crossroads be- tween East and West Europe with its 49,370 square miles and a population of 16,500,00, this country covers an area slightly smaller than Great Slave Lake. Like the majority of European countries, Czechoslovakia is ra- ther small when compared to the vastness of Canada. A country, however, should not be judged by just the fallow earth enclosed in some arbitrary boundary; it's something much more . . innumerable values establish its real size: the beau- ty of its achievements . . . its history and culture, its past, present and future. Yes, it is amazing indeed to discover the real size and beauty of a coun- try! Like previous trips, your of- ficial trip starts well in advance of boarding the aircraft, Every- one knows the preparation ne- cessary in planning a trip (es- pecially those of us in the in- dustry).

I was very surprised on ar- rival in Prague, as I did not ex- pect to see such a modern and up-to-date airport, But there it was, and in less than ten min- utes we had completed our cus- toms and entry procedures and waiting with my luggage to be on our way. It appears to be a normal procedure that here tourists, visitors to the country, are treated like guests rather than passengers. Surprisingly pleasant! Communicating at the airport in English is no problem. Taxis to a downtown hotel compared to our standards, are very cheap. Public transportation proves no problem either. buses are in- expensive and punctual and the conductors and passengers alike are friendly and helpful. You may not have any idea where you're going or what location you're at, the same applies when walking down the street. You can approach anyone while looking for a particular local- ity, whether it be the National Museum or a shoe repair shop, and they will always find a way to explain and guide you safely to your destination. This same rule applies throughout Europe, as many Canadian tourists can testify . . most Europeans are only too glad to help and assist visitors from overseas. Friendly People Generally speaking the people are friendly, polite and most sociable. You can see them in the innumerable restaurants, wine and beer cellars of Prague, singing, sipping and talking to- gether. They enjoy approaching each other and being approach- ed. A Foreigner is, of course, the centre of even greater in- terest and is readily made to feel at home amongst them. Czechoslovakian cuisine is very tasty, and is no place to watch your waistline. There are many specialties in foods, wines and liquors and prices are very reasonable. As a tourist the bonafide exchange rate is as much as 16 crowns to one dol- lar which is double the official- bank rate. This means that for less than $3.00 one can enjoy an excellent dinner with wine (not just a glass, but a bottle) friendly service and pleasant at- mosphere. An average lunch with beer does not exceed $1.00. Your money goes a 1-o-n-g way in Czechoslovakia. Prague, the capital, with the hustle and bustle of a busy met- ropolis, is in this respect very similar to any other big city. it's fun to do the usual window shopping and try as a "green- horn" to compare prices, dis- cover the exclusive or just look for bargains! Glassware, crystal, textiles and leather goods seem to be the most common targets of the foreigners' curiosity, and make delightful gifts and sou- venirs. By MRS.
