Britt,You made my day! Dave must have told you I've been trying to find the words "Ukončete prosím výstup a nástup, dveře se zavírají" from the automated voice on the Metro. One of my favorite stories is the night we slid down the polished metal escalator and went so fast we lofted up from the bottom, only to get questioned by a Metro inspector about tickets. We all got fined 500 crowns each, but the memory is priceless!
