Tiger Beer,

Alaska is interesting but I don't know if I like the idea of taking a vacation to my home country.

Like Bulsajo said, Karlovy Vary isn't a very big place. When I went there, we just left Prague early in the morning and returned later that night. Also, to be quite honest, I slept through most of the drive, but it was probably... maybe.... 1.5 hours (we had a car). There is a beautiful hotel there up on the side of the mountain over-looking the city, but it is probably expensive. It isn't a big place, it is just a nice place to relax and drink some of the water (doctors there actually prescribe some of the different wells for certain ailments) and get a message and relax. We had some fan-fricking-tastic food there.

I would say that a day trip there is enough, but staying overnight would also be nice, so I recommend one night.

Another cool thing about the drive is some of the ruins you see on top of hills, and all the barley and hop farms, so you get to see where all the f-ing delicious beer comes from.

Now would be a good time to let those not in the know who may be reading that Karlovy Vary is more famously known in English as Carlsbad.

everyone seems to be talkin about prague...but seriously how far is that away? I myself want to be traveling Asia while I'm here...not Eastern Europe.

I was thinking of places like Thailand, Beijing, Vladivostok, Tokyo, Bali, Philippines, or even JeJu island.
