“Check” Republic

Complications of posting to and from the Czech Republic

Going to the post office can be an adventure when you live in a country whose name causes non-residents to ask innocently, “Check what?” At best, getting a package to or from the Czech Republic is like a “Where’s Waldo?” hunt. You never know quite when or where your package is going to turn up, but it usually does eventually, even if it’s likely to have been opened by Czech customs official or a curious postal worker along the way.
