Beer, Wine & Pizza Review

We're starting to become locals now. The local shop keepers keep an eye out for those Aussie gringos & rub their hands together.

This week we've continued to feast on beer, wine & pizza plus a little upper class restuaranteee!

M's Beer Rating

1. Pilszen (http://www.pilsner-urquell.com/) - surperb, clear crisp beer & a good price. $1 AUD per 500ml - what a bargain.
2. Krusovice (http://www.krusovice.net/en/index.php?PHPSESSID=fbe47bccf8bf8a533860712bb03f197c). Very nice dark beers, way better than Tooheys old !
3. Budweiser (http://www.budvar.cz/budvar/budvar-web/corporate/prvni_en.cms). Bottom of the barrel - similar to VB & Tooheys new - rubbish !

We've been buying out the local shop keepers of their wine stocks. At the moment we're cleaning out an Asian grocery store of all their Chilean Cab Sav & Merlots ! It's quite funny going into these shops where they look Chinese, speak Czech & understand Aussie - but money speaks all languages - $4-5 AUD per bottle - we've become cheap drunks - the wine is pretty good.

Pizza's are all thin & cheap. $4-5 AUD per large pizza. You have to run pretty fast to get them home hot ! Bit of lurk when you have to wait while the wood fire oven cooks the pizza & you have a nice pivo (beer) while you wait - what a life. Our local pizza place is Sicilia (http://www.sicilia.cz/) - the only down side is they have Budweiser beer :-(

Work has been rather successful this week. We're in the process of offering another 6 people positions -that takes us to 20 people by the end of May. 12 more to go. So far we have Aussies, Poms, Portgugese, Serbians, Romanians, Polish, Slovaks, Germans & Czechs - most of the names I can pronounce.

J, N & I had dinner with my new boss (Georg pronounced Ghe - Org) and the Rudy Baron (Red Baron) down the street. Very nice, loved the pea soup - 'Delicious' would like the recipe I'm sure.

Next week we're flying to Vienna due to Visa requirements. Spending the weekend there..............it's a tough life ;-)
