I'm not used to this "leaving time" thing, but I'm trying to learn it, to get used to it ( Read more... )

Happy Hours ext_3311880 August 19 2016, 13:03:38 UTC

"Happy hours" is a beautiful misuse that really just means "this train is west of Germany and north of Vienna." Basically, if you're in the bits of Europe where a beer for 4 euros could start a land war, you can pay 1.2 euros.

So what you're saying is, it's _always_ happy hour in the Czech Republic?

This explains a great deal.

In fact that's possibly the wisest thing I've ever not heard you say in so many words.

Ahh, but you're missing out on the full extent of my statement. It is also happy hours in Slovakia and Hungary. It is also, presumably, happy hours in Poland and the Balkans, but I don't think a ČD/JLV dining car goes there.

I can agree about the Balkans... A Beer for 1.2 Euros in non-touristy Bulgaria? I've spent most of the last three months paying that at most! (And I'm actually in a reasonabl touristy area, I just know where to go.)

Usually it's about 0.90 Euro, and that's at places where I trust the beer that being served. There are places reasonably close-ish to where I've been living that sell a pint (well, 500ml) of beer for 1 Lev (about half a euro), but I've never felt the urge - or bravery - to sample the "delights" of such establishments... I'll stick to the places I know buy legal/reputable stuff, or at least named bottles.

Bah. I think Czechia is happier. But it's probably just the beer talking.
