Carshare Websites in Czech Republic, Germany and Surrounding Destinations


A month ago, I discover Germany carshare websites which hooked up riders and travelers. I paid a mere 15 EUR (each) for my 4 hour-ride trip from Prague to Berlin and back. I had my doubt in the beginning of course; thinking I might end up with a serial rapist or ax-killer or some weirdo like that but my carshare experience was excellent so I will definitely use this website from now on to travel to cities available on the list. These drivers are travelers themselves who want extra
money for their gasoline. The riders are normal travelers or people who study and work in a different cities.

Mozart Opera for $2 at Premier Theater in Prague

You can watch Mozart’s operas including Don Giovanni at the theater where it was first debut for a mere 30 CZK ~ 2$.

I almost bought two tickets for Don Giovanni for $600/$700 (already discounted by the people who could not go to the show) until J. said that we could buy standing tickets instead. A month ago, I paid 350 CZK for a side-balcony seat to see “Clemenza de Tita.” Didn’t like the seat because of the blocked view, I opted to stand at the exact location I was last night which I could have gotten for only 30 CZK.

540/640 CZK was saved and would go to my piggy bank for future purchase.

Lowcost Airline London-Hongkong Folded

My fare scouting to flight cheap from London to Hongkong is over now that low-cost Oasis Hong Kong airline has announced bankruptcy.

Ironically, I never heard of this airline before I met a Hongkong girl who stayed at the same hostel in Venice during Venice festival this February. She bought a round-trip ticket HK-London for a smoking price of only $550. Now that I plan to fly from Europe to South East Asia, I remember our conversation two months ago and started googling for “Oasis.” There wasn’t any bad news on the home page except for the booking function wasn’t working. I waited for a few days and saw the official statement which confirmed my suspicion.

Oh well, I will try to find alternative low-cost option from Europe to other central hubs: Singapore and Bangkok.
