    I subscribed to your Newsletter and very much interested in your training programs advertised in the Newsletter, however,i noticed most of the times you kind of restrict it to European Organization.

    Can you please grant us the opportunity to participate in your training programs, like the current upcoming Training Program of: 15 – 22 May 2011, Budapest, Hungary.

    I look forward to hearing from you soon.

  3. It is bigger than Bratislava, and has been a caiatpl city for a longer time. Bratislava has only been made a caiatpl city when the countries split, 1999, if I remember right. Budapest is a closer comparison to Prague. But all three are not boring, unless you are not interested in history, buildings or art. If you just want to eat and drink, you might as well stay in your own city, saves you a lot on travel costs.Added after reading the addition to the question:Visitors always see things in your hometown you have not seen there yourself. Prague is a popular destination for people who like to party, so there must be enough cool places for them to hang out. I wouldn’t know, I am not one of them. I did really like the city, even though it was cool and wet weather.So if people say it again, just smile and agree, or ask them what they liked best, so you can sort it out in the long run.

  4. Obviously you’ve never been there. It is a thoroughly chnaimrg and delightful city. One thing that sets it apart is that even under the scourge of communism it embraced its heritage and diligently went about restoring and preserving its deservedly world-famous architecture. Prague is cool for many reasons, not least of which is its thriving cultural scene. As an example, when we visited for the first time last January, on a cold, yucky winter mid-week day, there were more than a dozen costumed people hawking tickets for a huge variety of cultural events for that evening walking around the main square. Midweek! In winter! (We ended up seeing Don Giovanni performed by marionettes in a cool attic theatre above a puppet museum.) I wouldn’t say it is any more or less famous that Bratislava or Budapest, although the former is certainly less visited. Prague has always been more western-leaning and hence is more appealing to western European and American visitors. Do visit it one day!
