Hi everybody! This is our lovely team, which is preparing EDISON in January 2014 First, what you have to know. How much money do you spend here? I spend 4000 (160€) Crowns in a one month. I pay for my accommodation 2550 (102€) Crowns. The Czech Crown (“koruna” in Czech, abbreviated Kč) coins are in circulation: 1 crown, 2 crowns, 5 crowns, 10 crowns, 20 crowns and 50 crowns. The paper money are available in: 100 crowns, 200 crowns, 500 crowns, 1.000 crowns, 2.000 crowns, 5.000 crowns. Cash machines are usually the easiest and the cheapest way of managing money. There are lots of them located throughout the Zlín town centre. You can also pay by credit card in most stores. Foreign currency can be exchanged at any bank or exchange office; thought you might check around to see which one gives the best rate.

Your question was what is better: cook or eat outside?

Actually, when you will be in a host family, they can give you a food – we can´t

ask them. But I don´t think that they let you cook in their kitchen. It is half to

half we don´t know the situation in each family.

Railway station (Praha Hlavni Nadrazi).

Public Transport in Zlín

Public transport in Zlín includes buses, trolleybuses and trains. To use public

transport you need a valid ticket (stamped in a machine immediately after

getting on the vehicle) or a season ticket. One-way tickets can be purchased

at many stands, in some shops or in ticket machines at stops. You can also

buy a ticket from the driver, but it is more expensive. You can buy two types

of tickets: transferable and non-transferable. Both are limited by time.

The basic non-transferable ticket for 20 minutes costs 12 CZK and the

transferable ticket costs 15 CZK for 30 minutes or 18 CZK for 50 minutes.

There is also the possibility of buying a one-week ticket which costs 180 CZK.

To get the student season ticket you need a passport size photograph(4,5cm x 3,5cm), a Student ID Card or another document to prove that you are a student (confirmation of study) and the address of your stay in Zlín.There are different types of coupons according to areas (zone A, B and zone C). Zone A is sufficient to reach all the buildings belonging to the University. You can get a month or a 3 month coupon on your student travel card.

Transport from one city to another depends on distance. When we assign which

group depends to which towns, I will send you more information about prices of

transport.

If you want try some extreme sports (like skiing, snowboarding, etc.) you need reinsurance. You can manage it in your country. It is not expensive.

One of you asked me which vaccines you need.

Czech Republic is not an exotic landscape. It is good to have vaccination against

Hepatitis A and B, if you do not have it never mind. You have to wait a half year

from first injection to second. It is not necessary.

In our country we have some routine vaccines, which are mandatory for us. Like:

Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR), Diphteria-Tetanus-Petussis, Varrialla vaccine

(Chickenpox), Polio vaccine. Again, if you don´t have it, never mind. Accommodation

First week, everybody will be in Zlin because of preparation week. It is nice, we

can better known each other ;). You can think that you will be in a hotel. It is

more expensive and we as LC cannot pay for it. If you really want to, you can pay

by your own.

At every Sunday you will go to the new host family in a new town, where you

start present on Monday till Friday. That places are near to Zlín. Do not worry if

you will have a problem.

In a host family can be a situation that you will have a room with someone else,

like a child from the family or you can sleep on a couch.

Question about weekends:

In every family will be different situation. The family can be with you on

weekend. They can show you some nice place in the town of in the neighbourhood.

If you really want go alone somewhere, you have to settle with the family. ;)
