Quote from jackson1234:
So let me re-phrase my original question, for those who have spent time in Prague, would it be a good base for a trader? As I understand the top tax rate is 15% for self-employed which is lower than most of europe. Is it a safe city, not speaking Czech will I get by okay? Any other European cities you would recommend as a base?
jackson, I've have been living not far from Prague, in Warsaw Poland the summer of 2006 and 2007, while trading there at the same time. I'm from Canada but was born in Poland and therefore speak fluently both languages. Poland and Czech are very similar, so this will give you some input. First of all there is a big difference in culture between Canada or Australia and Eastern Europe, you would have to adjusted to it. Everything is different there, from the street, to mentality, to behavior, food etc, etc.
The chicks are awesome, this is the reason I was there too, if you into blue eyed blonds those parts of the world are hard to beat by any place in the world. Language could be a problem for you, since if a woman does not understand you she will not take you seriously, on the other hand there is plenty of English speaking chicks there, some of them like to be connected to foreigners. I remember talking to some friends that have been to Prague and from what I've heard there is a number of Americans living there, artsy type of people, there is a good environment for creativity, also plenty of business types from all over the world, speaking English on daily basis, so you could hook up with them.
More about chicks, you will find a lot of 8+ girls there, you can just walk the streets and see real model types or even the real models shopping or just hanging out with friends, not hard to spot them +175 cm tall slim, high class etc, another thing, a lot of those top girls are very well educated and intelligent, way smarter then most of the American guys so hopefully you have your shit together not to make an ass of yourself. The way women dress in completely different from what we see here in North America. Also, plenty of gold diggers.
Another thing is you are not gonna like the winter there, summer time from May till October is the best time to be there. I would honestly recommend if you really wanna go there, just go for a couple of weeks to see if you like it at all, just to check the vibe there and only then you will be able to decide if it's for you.
One comment it's a universal thing, if you are getting chicks in one place, you will be able to get them anywhere, if not then it's a problem. On the other hand what American or Australian chick will fall for Eastern Euro girls will not, the top notch girls have seen it all so the usual pick up game may not work. On the plus side for you, I've talked to numerous chicks who find Australian accent very sexy, those were mostly American and British chicks, however a Czech girl wouldn't be able to tell a difference. Maybe you got to visit US or England.
On the other hand, it's ironic, because in "the game" Style talks about some Australian guy, and investor who learns from him too and tells the story about what happened to him,..... are you possibly the guy?
Don' know much about taxes.
Need more info pm me.
By the way, if you find it useful, give me some tips on how to trade, consistently and successfully.
The last good looking woman that came on to me had 5 kids!! Forget it, friendship would be better than 5 kids!! I'd go for the friendship and having as much fun as possible whether it costs any money or not, and leave the rest up to God...
