- drunk advice: i once heard a local whisper “the bar on Národní that says they pay in cash? they actually pay in cheap lager if you’re lucky.”
- overheard rumor: a friend swears the old student housing on Vinohrady has a secret laundry room that’s always free, but you gotta know the code.
- something a local warned me about: avoid the “summer job” scams on Wenceslas Square that promise 500 euros a week - they’re mostly empty promises.
