Too busy to take a long vacation? Or simply don’t have the money? Doesn’t matter. Student Agency (the colossal yellow bus) offerers attractive weekend trips to many European cities for quite decent prices.

Some of the girls at work were planning to Athena for the weekend but then changed their minds because the city was too far and it would cost them a fortune. But is this too good to be true?

Trip to Athena - 3184 CZK (Feb. 7 to May. 20 2008)
Include: airport and service fee, 2 night accommodation  in 2* hotel w/ breakfast (double), return ticket with SkyEurope

I’ve recently moved to Prague 10 to a semi-furnished flat and in dire need of a small bed among other wooden luxuries.

So far I have found 4 places to scout for affordable new and second-hand furniture.

1. Ikea: No unnecessary introduction from me as most of you have already known or heard of the Ikea brand. There are two stores at two ends of metro B, Zlicin and Cerny Most. Once you get there, you can hop on free Ikea buses which will take you directly to the store. (http://www.ikea.com/cz/cs/)
 
2. Asko: I checked out the company’s webiste and visited one of their store and felt fairly comfortable with the prices. They had a few sofa beds I wanted to purchase; however, I will wait for a while to see if the prices drop below 5000 CZK.  (http://www.asko-nabytek.cz/v2/)

Address:
Prodejna
N�kupn� Centrum Europark
N�kupn� 389/3; 102 00 Praha 10 - �t?rboholy; Tel: 222 810 111; Hours: Mon-Sun 9.00 - 21.00.
[See map]

3. Expats.cz: This foreigner-oriented website has a decent Sale/Wanted message board where members post the items
they wish or want to sell. Most of these furniture are very cheap compared to the prices in the store, sometimes they can be even for free. Unfortunately, since I don’t have a car, I let many of such offers slip out of my hand.

4. Prague.tv: Similar to expats.cz but does not have as many listings as the other.

Wanted List

• Sofa/futon double bed
• Shoe stand
