theatre in the world."  E-mail: blacktheatresrnec at volny.cz;

BOHEMIAN BITS

BOATELS:  About fifty years ago, there was a shortage of hotels and motels,
so the proprietors took to the water.  They call them "boatels"--although
these never sail.

SHOPPING PARK:  The shopping malls are called "shopping parks" here.

SILVER TEA:  My tour guide told me that Chinese refer to "hot water" as
"silver tea."

    I was already told that "robot" is from Czech.  But I knew that....The
women here are better looking than Ivana Trump (post-op).  The women in Japan
were all better looking than Yoko Ono.  I've learned not to trust this export
thing.
