Pozor, Policie!!!

Well, we have been through many things alread, and now we have had the unique experience of being pulled over by the Czech Police...I think Dan was ready to have a heart attack...Unfortunately Dan made an illegal left turn (that had been legal the day before...I think they switch the signs for fun)...But the police man was more scared of us than we were of him as he spoke no English and we were so nervous that we couldn't even speak English anymore. In CZ you pay your fine on the spot, so I think he just wanted us to go away and he gave us a break and we only had to pay 1,000 crowns (about $45)...it was really a fun experience and the police were very nice and courteous...and now we will watch the signs better. (Or maybe attend Auto-Skola)

Siddle's in Bosnia with Jesus said...

hey Krista, it's Monica Siddle. I enjoyed reading your updates. Czech Republic sounds similiar to Bosnia (have to pay on the spot, etc). That was totally foreign to me when I first got here. What if you don't have the money on you?! The language barrier can be SUCH a challenge and it gets very taxing when you are trying to listen for understanding. My brain wears out after a while. Take care!
