A few years ago, while I was doing business in the Czech Republic, I came to know quite a lot of cultural values and daily habits among the Czechs. Some may be different from people in my own country but there are some which are similar too. For example, Czech people prefer to walk from one place to another unless the destination is far. Unlike my home country, people would rather drive even if it was within 5 minutes of walking distance. I think this is probably the main reason why the air in the Czech Republic was much fresher and cleaner compared to where I came from.

Nonetheless, there are a number of similarities between the two countries. Some of you might find this shocking but I discovered that most Czech citizens are more inclined into using the sms service. Sms otherwise known as short messaging service is widely popular in my home country too as people find it more convenient to convey messages to the recipient. Besides, a simple message only cost a few cents which is definitely cheaper than making calls. However, the best thing about sms-ing in the Czech Republic is that certain companies provide free sms service to their subscribers.

The most famous company which offers this service is sms zdarma. This company allows subscribers to send text messages to their friends and family members who use the same service as they are. I guess this is why I often notice Czech people having their eyes glued to their mobile phones while their fingers are keying away. This is also very often observable in my own home country.

In conclusion, the two countries may be divided by thousands of miles in land space but they do share a number of, some would say odd similarities.
