[Opinions] Re: Prague, Bohemia BAs
Yeah, I had no idea Bohemia was still referred to as Bohemia. As I told Sofia, most of my knowledge of that region consists of memorizing the name of the country and its capital for my geography tests in high school. Hearing it called Bohemia is, to me, like hearing Turkey and the surrounding region called the Ottoman Empire or Iran called Persia. But it's really like Bavaria in Germany or (as Sofia said) Holland in the Netherlands? Well, I learned something new today!The wikipedia page had a really pretty picture of a Bohemian town called Karlovy Vary. It looks gorgeous.

Karlovy Vary is well known around the world for it's international film festival. http://www.kviff.com/en/news/ And, yes, it's gorgeous. Now, we've gone totally of topic:-)
