Czech Republic

I’m old enough that I still have trouble not saying “Czechoslovakia” when I mean Czech Republic.

I never visited Czechoslovakia during its days as one country. If I ever visit Slovakia, I probably won’t have to fight my brain to avoid calling it Czechoslovakia because Slovakia got the second half of that name. But I can’t say the same for the Czech Republic. My brain still wants to call it Czechoslovakia.

But enough about my feeble brain. This category is a subcategory of thee “Europe” category. Any cities I visit in Czechia, another name for the same country—I’m so confused—get their own subcategories under this category.

When I wrote this description, I had visited only one, Prague. I’m excited for you if there are more by the time you stumble on this.
