Comments on: NO Lindt chocolate in my shopping cart for the opening match! http://czechrepublic.worldcupblog.org/euro-2008/shopping-list-for-the-opening-match.html Czech Republic - World Cup 2010 - South Africa Mon, 02 Nov 2009 23:28:08 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Yuko Méd'a Orii http://czechrepublic.worldcupblog.org/euro-2008/shopping-list-for-the-opening-match.html/comment-page-1#comment-55424 Yuko Méd'a Orii Fri, 06 Jun 2008 10:23:37 +0000 http://czechrepublic.worldcupblog.org/euro-2008/shopping-list-for-the-opening-match.html#comment-55424 Ahoj Lukasi! Thanks for the compliment - to be quite honest with you, as I've been seeing the doctors and the attorney, I don't have enough time to translate article on CMFS website under their permission, and I AM frustrated like crazy. Shame on me! The only place in central Tokyo where you can "feel" the football, which I DO highly recommend, is this place called <strong>THE ALDGATE</strong> located at the end of Center Street in Shibuya. Their URL is: http://www.the-aldgate.com/ Just called them and CONFIRMED that they're gonna show Switzerland - Czech Republic which means you might have to kill some time outside the JR Shibuya Station after the match until the trains start running. Or maybe you can stay in the bar if you order even more beer and behave yourself. ;) Since the weather forecast says this sunday's gonna be as hot as today, you won't have to wander in the cold. I can tell you the atmosphere at the Aldgate is great and the owners know the shit about football, but alas, they have no "pivo." :( The bartenders and servers speak decent English so if you'd like, just drop in there BEFORE midnight - otherwise you can't get in since the place is filled with true footy addicts like every weekend and tomorrow night IS special. For the directions and the food/beer menu as well as the prices, check out their website. AFAIR, they charge JPY 900 for a pint of Guiness and/or Heineken. If I had enough cash, I would've been there for sure as hell with my huge Czech Republic flag, my Méd'as, a Czech Republic hat on, a Czech Republic sticker on my cheek wearing a Czech Republic national team jersey autographed by someone from Skalna... Anyhow, hope this helps! If you have more questions, just e-mail me: pani.becherovkova[at]gmail.com Ahoj Lukasi!

In another comments section it said "posted from Japan" under your name. Then again, for some reason it says under my first comment "posted from Australia", even though I am sitting at my desk in Otemachi, Central Tokyo.

I am surprised that there is a Czech Republic blog on the BBC, and am very pleased indeed to see it. One question: I live in Japan (Tokyo), which it appears you do, too. It means that the tournament will be very painful as the games all start so late Japanese time... Anyway, I would love to watch my team play surrounded by a proper footballing atmosphere, rather than at home on TV - would you happen to know where I could watch the Czech team play against the Swiss in a bar in Tokyo? Somewhere that is NOT Roppongi preferably, as I really don't like the area? I don't know any other Czechs or fans of the Czech Republic here. Also, just out of curiosity: are you Japanese with some link to the Czech Republic, or are you a Czech living in Japan? Again, thanks for blogging!
