Prague vs. Ostrava
Piquant detail - media-cultivated hostility and rivalry between the inhabitants of Ostrava and Prague. It seems that cities literally compete for the title of "best" city - football clashes and musical disputes for leadership, a real propagation of "patriotism" and fidelity to their city in the minds of young people. Of course, even the language of Ostrava residents differs noticeably from the dialect of Prague. "Dirty industrial city" - you hear from a resident of Prague characteristic of Ostrava. "Fresh capital", - proud ostra people will say about Prague. Photo of Ostrava (15)
