Come to Prague's Mangustino for wine gala tasting

Two eco-oriented Czech students suggested - already two years ago - an alternative to plastic bags: Frusack – a bio-recyclable bag for fruits and vegetables made of corn cellulose.

Anyone interested in the history of hot chocolate, tea and coffee would be thrilled to sit down with Karel Černý - the head of Prague's Institute of Medicine and Foreign Languages at Charles University's First Faculty of Medicine - as we did.

On our tour which took us from Vienna to Prague, we visited the thousand-year-old city of Trebic in the Czech Republic. Here, we walked into the remarkably preserved Jewish quarter, a virtual monument to the time when churches and synagogues co-existed side by side.
