FOOD
Students look after themselves in regards to meals, but there is nothing to fear as Prague has an excellent and very reasonable selection of Vegetarian, Vegan and Raw food restaurants. For usually around 200 Kc ( 8 euro) a restaurant will offer at least one “menu” choice (lunchtime special) for the midday meal. Some of the Prague based students are fantastic cooks and have a lot of knowledge about food. For the most up to date knowledge about restaurants the best person to ask is Ivan.
During the morning training sessions, we encourage students to bring something small for them to eat as the training goes for over 3 hours.
TRANSPORT
Prague has an extensive and very efficient public transport system. The buses, trams and metro are very user-friendly and relatively cheap.
