Permission Granted

I'm still in good standing with the Czechs. My long-term residency visa and work permit were extended today. (I still find it puzzling how a year qualifies as “long-term”, but hey, one knows better than to argue with immigration....)

Of course, this also means I have decided to stay an extra year. It's a two-way thing.

Prague has been good for me, and even though I can find things (the weather!) to gripe about I am content and at ease here.

Cauky.

Hi,

Your blog is interesting. I am a 29-year old black american from California who is living in Berlin for two years. Why are you living in Prague? I have heard bad stories about reception to black people in Prague. How have you found it?

Thanks,

se dada ni?

about visa extensions -- i know this feeling. in 2006, i got an extra year here in south africa. now i'm doing the 3 months in/7-10 days out thing.

i remember jumping up and down like this in the uk when i got an extension, and then not getting it in france [although the french rejection was expected].

i came to your page from fly brother; when i have some more time, i'll read through more of it.

i'm from everywhere, but no knowing. drop a bro a shout?
