Was it just the test? In Czech Republic they expect me to attend weeks of training in an autoškola car with an instructor. It seems ridiculous. I would understand needing to pass a written test and maybe a one-time driving test, but geez!

You'd best avoid Czech houses. There are spiders everywhere. Luckily I'm not afraid of them, at all. We peacefully co-exist. I'm more freaked out by long house centipedes, but not seriously so and I've barely seen any in CZ. Many more in the US. I know they're good in ways. They eat insects and spiders.
