This week I will be away for business in Prague, representing a social networking company preparing to launch a social networking site in the Czech Republic. I would be pleased to meet with any nowEurope readers while in Prague. (Write me at: steve [at] noweurope [dot] com)

While Budapest and Prague might seem like neighbors on the map, I will travel all night by train to get there. However, one difference on this trip is that I will be able to sleep.

I will share my observations about the Czech online market upon my return to Budapest later this week.
