Mailbox | All stories

In this week's Mailbox, we have letters from the US, India and Ireland. Mohammad Shamim asks about Czech participation in the Olympics, Jonathan Murphy recalls his recent visit to Radio Prague and Otto Schwartz has a question about dance schools in the Czech Republic. And you will also find this month's Radio Prague quiz question.

A week has passed and we're back again to read from your letters and emails that never cease coming - for which we are, of course, grateful. The first one is from Elizabeth M. from Canada. She's reacting to one of our broadcasts.
