Getting Connected in Prague Dear International Living Reader, Prague's quirky, densely historical streets are perfect for strolling and sightseeing…but slightly frustrating if you're looking for a good Internet café. Here are three I've found that are worth seeking out if you need some time online, all of which have other charms as well: * The Globe Book Store is a Bohemian mainstay. They offer decent food, literary and musical events most weekends, English-language books, and an Internet café where you can buy a weekly pass for unlimited web access via your own laptop. They have connections in the café area, so you can have business meetings there too. If you use the web a lot, their weekly pass is a great bargain. * Slightly off-the-beaten-path is Net Café at Na Porici 12, accessible by a short walk from the Obecny Dom at Namesti Republika, a major tourist destination. It's a nice place for an excellent and inexpensive coffee and pastry, and their Internet café is the cheapest I've found in Prague: a third less than everywhere else. * The Bohemia Bagel is the place to go for bagels of every imaginable variety--good for lunch or a late snack. I frequent the original location near the Ujezd tram stop, which has an adjacent Internet café. One of the best things about this place is the bottomless cup of coffee or soda--all you can drink, perfect for a thirsty day. You can get to each of these cafés easily on the magnificent and cheap public transport system. A transport pass valid for three days of unlimited travel on the subway and trams costs less than $8 at train stations and many kiosks. Validate it on your first trip and you will never have to show it again--just hop on and hop off, like a local. James Coon
