Dinner in Prague?

Yep. I'm heading to Prague again, this time for two weeks. Since I'll have a bit more free time than my usual whirlwind trips so I'm making an offer.

In exchange to anyone who wants to buy me dinner some evening in Prague, I will answer any Swing related question you have. Here's your chance to ask anything of a Swing Hacks co-author.

And if that's not enough, I'll up the stakes! To anyone who's willing to give me a tour of Prague next Saturday or Sunday (the 10th and 11th) I'll also answer questions on any Java topic (or find the answer if I don't know it)! Now that's a deal! I'll even throw in JavaFX as a bonus!

But seriously, I'll going to be in Prague for two weeks with all of next weekend free. Anyone want to hang out and show me this beautiful city? I'll even buy the beer!

Thanks,
Josh

• Check out the excellent
  Agharta jazz club.
  It can get smokey, but sit in the back right corner next to the fresh air tube.

• Great news that you are coming to Prague again. I would like to see you here. (Last time I didn't manage it).
  On November 11th we are celebrating St. Martin here in Czech Republic. It's first day that we can taste first bottles of new wines every year. Usually it is served with goose. It's old tradition interrupted by communism for 50 years. It's even older than French "Beaujolais Nouveau".
  There's a one more thing connected to St. Martin. On November 11th: "St Martin coming on white horse". That means that he brings snow to Czech Republic.

• well, he will not have a time after all:/ but he posted a link of your blogpost to local expats community, so somebody might be willing to hang out with you. you can check it yourself and find some places of interest: www.expats.cz
  also the offer from jandam is good i think, especially if you like wine and new things:) btw the st. martin came to cr already (yeah, he should meet chet and talk about the timing framework:D ), so bring some warm clothes too;)
