You will be Prague's ambassador?! 😮 Congratulations!!! 😃🥳👏
The things you’ve accomplished in really a very short amount of time is amazing. You’ll make an great ambassador. Congratulations and thank you for all the content, it’s a pleasure to watch😉
Kathy, that is really lovely for you to say. And thank you for watching!
WOW Jen, are you going to be the ambassador to Prague city???
That's increadible, they couldn't have chosen a better one, many, many congrats!!!!
Thank you! 😘
Kdyby bylo video, kde je Jen a Janek - to by byla kombinace.
Tahle colab by se mi také líbil...
Agree, that would be nice xD
Jen, I was taking a run at Riegrovy Sady on a beautiful Easter morning, and saw you shooting something, I had this urge to come and tell you to 'keep at it'. I feel you're the right kind of ambassador Praha needs. Keep doing what you're doing. Big love ✨
This video was sentimental to me. The streets of Vinohrady from your shots used to be my my playground in the 70's and 80's. I'm one of the few lucky ones who still live at the same address.
You would not be able to afford to live there today😢
Congratulations on being an ambassador! They couldn’t have picked a better person for this job! Also, glad to see you’ve picked the right team to be a fan of 😁
Absolutely amazing Jen, Honza & Tobik. Ive been following your videos from when I moved to Prague two years ago. Its lovely to see how you go from strength to strength in video to video. Keep up the amazing work and I am sure you will be a great ambassador.
Alex, that's high praise! Thanks for watching and hopefully I'll see you out on the streets of Prague soon!
@@DreamPrague Yes Ma'am 👍🏻
Jen, zasa super video a tesim sa, ze ta oslovili na ambasadorku. Proste si robis svoju pracu dobre.
Budu!
Please, show more of Prague. Congrats on being Prague Ambassador! They couldn't have chosen a better one.
Ahoj Jen, píšu česky, protože moje angličtina je strašná, italsky bych si po letech nepoužívání neřekl ani o chleba a to samé platí pro ruštinu. Jsem rodilý "Pražák" ale tak nějak jsem na to zapomněl, nevím jestli je to dobou nebo mnou, ale je to ostuda, že musí Američanka připomínat Pražákovi jak je Praha krásná.
Někdo chodí s očima zabořenýma do chodníku, jiný kouká do mobilu a nějak zapomínáme zvednout oči k těm krásám které jsou okolo nás. Tvoje videa o Praze jsou naprosto úžasná, některá pobaví jiná poučí a co je nedůležitější (tedy alespoň mne) donutí k zamyšlení, že jsem zapomněl zvednout oči (na svoji obhajobu připomínám, že na některých chodnících to není možné, protože se jinak pěší vzpřímený člověk stane v okamžiku člověkem ležícím - lidově si rozbije hubu 😁)
Každý se díváme jinýma očima a tvoje pohledy jsou naprosto úžasné a já ti za tyto pohledy na Prahu a nejen na ni děkuji.
Málem bych zapomněl, gratuluji k ambasadorce 🥂
S přáním krásného dne 🙂 Tom ( mimochodem taky Slávista 😁)
Víš jak se to řiká: pražáci jsou č...ci ......
i trully remember one of your first videos and look at you :) we are happy to have you Jen :)
ambassador to the city... wow... kudos to you young lady 👍😉
Ohromné, leč po právu zasloužené, ocenění - gratuluji
Ahoj Jen. Pozor na stalking !! Trochu bych byl opatrnější v tom, co sdílíš o svém soukromém životě. Aneb v kolik hodin jezdíš jakým autobusem, kam pravidelně chodíš cvičit, kudy se vracíš domů, kam chodíš popíjet... V dnešní době to není moc rozumné. Ale nechci malovat čerty na zeď (idiom).
Good warning. That can happen anywhere these days. I live in Los Angeles. Crazy stalking here. The minute I move back here I always kept my eyes open
Even though it was insane when I moved there 30 years ago, I still get tempted to move back to Prague The visa qualifications keep changing. I used to feel safe enough to take the tram anywhere. I do not advise doing that in Los Angeles or New York City
Those shots from above are amazing and the graphic work, the added labels look really nice.
Zdravím vás a díky za tip na ramen na Míráku.
vynikajici!
You will be an amazing ambassador for Prague!❤️ Gratulujem!👍👍
Hi Jen, Thank You! for taking me to Prague through your videos. I hope to visit by September 2024. 😊 ❤
Protože prostě Jen jste nejlepší a miluju Vaše videa. Máte nejkrásnější angličtinu, které rozumím.
We have been watching your channel since covid lockdown. Myself and my Czech wife sandra love what you do. I have to say that in our opinion that is without doubt the most enjoyable post you have done. And well done on becoming an Ambassador. Hope to catch up with when we are in CZ from the UK. 😊
Aww, thank you! A děkuji! Greetings to the UK. :)
Congrats on a new job 👏 👏 👏 . Ambassador sounds 👌. It just goes to show that you never know where life is gonna take you.
Hi Jen, fellow Angeleno over here. I'm coming up on 5 years here. I only found your channel last year though. Very helpful and entertaining. Have a great day.
Oh! Gratulace k získání občanství!!!
Congratulations, we're lucky to have you as an ambassador 🎉
U deserve to be ambasador. Congrat to u. I was born in Prague and i live all my life here and i m proud that peolle like u r the ambasadors
Vůbec mě to nepřekvapuje, že ta nabídka přišla. Přesto ti Jen srdečně blahopřeji!!!
Další skvělé video. Jen, mám tě ráda, tak ráda, že ti dokonce odpustím i omyl ve volbě správného fotbalového klubu ⚽Congrats! You're a great fit for this new position.
More videos like this? Yes please! Great job!
Jen,jako vždy vtipné a poučné pro lidi kteří Prahu neznají. Máš 👍
it would also be interesting to show the neighborhoods far from the center and how the constructions of the Soviet period are like, such as the Luziny neighborhood, I live in such neighborhood and it is really interesting.
Amazing video! I really enjoyed it. Thank you :)
Díky, moc hezké video, a co takhle zase něco v češtině? 😅😅
i když jsem fanoušek klokanů - Bohemians, tak Tě mám rád 😋, sleduji tento kanál skoro od počátku, jsi skvělá, děkuji👍
That is so exciting about your meeting with the mayor’s office! Congratulations! I can’t wait to see the video about it!
Hi Jen, I like your videos so much. It is so touching for me, that you are trying to understand the country and the city, where do you live, to my city... Thank you.
Sakriš, vy chodíte kousek od mého domu. Nice, doufám, že Vás jednou potkám. :)
I've been in the mayor's residence too. But I wasn't asked to come, I was there on a tour when it was opened to the public during Open House Prague. I absolutely recommend everyone to visit when the opportunity comes up again. It's a beautiful place.
Just one minor critic comment. About those "creepy eyes" caused by those light sources. They create a sharp white circle outline in the eyes. I have seen it on other channels as well and I hate it. Even worse are two vertical lines. A soft light would be much better IMHO. Wall reflection is OK, if the wall is white or grey, not adding to much of its own color to the light. When using greenscreen, I recommend adding a slight magenta sides/back light, to suppress the green tint that I often see on the outline of the head, as it is being lit with reflected green light off the green screen. Depends on the size of the screen though. If you use a small one, just for the head, it might be OK. But if full body green screen backgrounds are used, it might be useful. There might be some post processing tools to address this as well. But I digress. Congratulations to becoming an ambassador of Prague! Your love for the city, its history, people, culture, etc. as well as your work on this channel is being noticed and acknowledged.
Aaaah, mayor´s residence...
Located at Marianske namesti (Maria´s quare) or like we like to modify: Mafianske namesti (Mafia´s square).
Nice work Jen! And I have one remark - the “Zizkov skyline” is located where old railroad track from the main station to Liben were, it was called “Hrabovská spojka” (and including a bridge over Husitska street) interconnecting those tracks and stations. Is was disused by 12.12.2005 and later replaced by “The new connection” including two new tunnels thru Vitkov hill and a massive bridge to connect these tunnels to the main railroad station. More on this topic on wikipedia: cs.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nové_spojení
Malá poznámka na doplnění: Tato železniční trať křížila Husitskou přímo nad křižovatkou s Táboritskou, kde stály dvě litinové podpěry ve tvaru podkovy, které velmi znesňadnovaly průjezd touto křižovatkou i když se tudy (pokud se dobře pamatuji) proplétaly tramvajové koleje.
Druhá železniční trať tudy vedla o kousek jižněji, její most přes Husitskou stále stojí, je proměněná na cyklostezku a končí až za průchozím tunelem Pod Krejcárkem. Je tu zajímavá procházka - mohu doporučit. Jediná vada na kráse je momentální výluka tramvají Pod Krejcárkem. Kousek se musí autobusem.
I very much like this style of video these informational videos and the one where you compare the universityes I find extremely entertaining and fun.
Glad you like them!
Hi Jen, the Old Quibbler at your service again! So UR getting important! I like it! ;) Where is your embassy about to be located? I heard that Popper's house might be deserted for some time soon... Intrigued? :D Besides - residence of Prague mayor is a real pearl of art nouveau (French blown away) - hope U convinced them to take U arround as it is not open to the public very often. Keep up the good work and have a great time! ;)
Děláte za Česko, tedy i s Moravou, perfektní propagaci naší země.
A co Slesko?

congrats on passing the citizenship test, Jen 🙌🙌
hope it feels great and welcome to our European family 💪😋
also, thanks for the video. I miss Prague 🥺❤
I just came back from Prague to Florida and I spent most of my time at Jirak and that cool market. Unfortunately the metro stop is in repair and closed, so I walked from Flora. I will be back.
Surprised to see you live near Namesti Miru! I walked there everyday during my trip to get to the metro station, and enjoyed some of the lesser known sights along the way.
Great work Jen. I hope to run into you someday, good humor.
You inspired me to visit prague 2. Great videos.
Congratulations on the post of city ambassador.
Great video. We love Prague , can't wait to go back :)
Ahoj Jen a Honzo✊...Toto bylo opět velice příjemné video😊..Jen tak dál s procházkami Prahou viděné Tvýma očima..Také se připojuji k návrhu společného videa Jen z Dream Prague a Janka z Kluci z Prahy..Mám Tě Jen a Tvého Honzu rád..Ahoj Martin Kudlík🤝❤️✌️🍀
Congratulations on the ambassadorship (is that a word 🤔? ). You are such a great addition to the city.
Nooooooooooo Jen. I was so exited when I saw you watching Sparta while cooking, to find out you are Slavia's fan 😀
Lol
*naši (4. pád je krátký, podobně jako "tu"/"ji"). Ale no worries, tuhle chybu dělá i spousta Čechů.
Velmi respektuji Honzovu volbu týmu. Sešívaní!!!
Great video! My dream is to visit Prague. What camera did you use to shoot this video? Just curious.
You are going to be Prague´s ambassador ! 🥰All my congratulations !
Thank you so much!
Omg you even say football instead of soccer. Love it! I never knew why Yanks call prolate spheroid ( which they play by hand 99% of the time) football :D Btw. did Honza whipped you this Easter ? I ve seen your short but somehow missed the long vid. you were on about... Edit: congrats on your ambassador thingy ! x
I see that you were at the same football match as me with my brother and friends and according to the video we were sitting just a short distance from each other... If I had known this and knew more English, I could have thanked you for your incredible videos about the Czech Republic and Prague
A nice snap shot of life in Prague for an Ex-pat. Hahaha..."overtime", very American of you. Go Bohemians!😁
Gratuluji Jen
It is tough, but I can forgive You Slavia. Have You ever meet Janek and Honza Honest Guide or Kluci z Prahy? I would love the crossover.
Díky za tip na Ramen. Soused :)
je nejlepši.
Congrats❣️🎉
Co se týče poslední minuty videa, gratuluji! 👍
Slavia byla správná volba :D
You'd be the best „Expat ambassador" for Prague:) I mean, you already are.
We need some kind of coordinator for all those people coming from abroad, to make their arrival & living easier :)
Not to be creepy, but this view looks like when I used to live on Francouska! There was a yellow school across the courtyard. Great memories and your videos have me wanting to move back!
Amaziiiiiiiiiiiiing I love your videos
So basically, it has been a while I saw something you put out, of course, I got this in my feed and voila, this must be, in my opinion, one of the best videos you made ever. The reason for I'm writing this is simple. You say something about your personal, even at times private, experience of the city, and you put it out as it is, more or less objectively, if you get me. What I'm used to from your videos is the kind of "I'm the American and cherrypick what I like and diss/mock the rest", but in this video, you were simply in the city and let everyone else make their own opinion of what they see. That's different, because usually, in my opinion, you can have a bias and a message that makes it obvious what you value and prefer. The message here was, this is Prague and this is how I and Honza and Toby live in it.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Congrats on great football and beer taste! :) Slavia and Matuska FTW!
Jen, congratulations.
I just stumbled upon your wonderful videos and would like to know more. How long ago did you start this? I would like to see them from the beginning. Please let me know.
Great video. Congrats looks like you are getting grounded more here. People don't realize how much balls it takes to acclimate here and than decide to stay in new culture and country. I did similar move in my case actually twice over so kudos to you. My only wish you use more of scholarly side of you to get down to nitty gritty specifics of Bohemia culture.
Great video! There is always something to see in Prague. And as I see You are officialy recognized! Well done. ♥ There is an Albert in Pink Pavilon (Vinohradský pavilon) nearby down there, isn´t it?
Yes Albert is in the basement of the Pavillion.
Docela se těším na recenzi z návštěvy nějakého hradu nebo zámku - oblíbený cíl jarních i podzimních výletů. Je z čeho vybírat:
- opravdu staré (Bezděz, Přimda - moc toho nezbylo)
- romantické (Trosky, Kokořín, Velhartice)
- zachovalé (Kost, Loket, Zvíkov)
- reprezentativní (Rabí, Frýdlant, Pernštejn)
- turistické (Křivoklát, Karlštejn, Bouzov)
- skromné (Střekov, Frýdštejn, Krakovec)
... a spousta dalších (Čechy byly ve středověku bohaté), hradů a zámků je tu opravdu hodně 😲
Díky za tip!
Gratuluji Jenn, you deserve it fully. But I would have bet rather on an offer from TV. You are a great speaker, good looking and funny.
Great video, Jen!
Thank you!!
Very nice touch with background Manouche jazz ! And come to visit Prague’s friend … Bratislava. Ďakujem.
Contratulations! Keep it up.
Hello Jen. I love your videos 🙂.
I'm so flattered Zuzka, thank you!
I’d love to move there!! Very safe
Madam ambassador well done 👍
Congratulations on your upcoming meeting with a mayor of Prague.
Hi! Huge fan of your channel for years now. I spent almost all of June in Prague and just absolutely loved it. I was just wondering…from your perspective, is there still a demand for English teachers in Prague? I have read a few contradicting opinions online and figured who better to know than Jen, from Dream Prague?? Thank you for channel, your time and any advice/opinions you could provide on this.
Jen, you are a beast in CrossFit! :-) My goodness! Máš můj nehynoucí obdiv. :)
#beastmode!!! 😂😂
Yes! I was so impressed!
Bon ramen is my and my husband favorite place for Duck Udon and we are also Slavia fans😊
Krásná exkurze a parádní "ř" :)
I highly recommend the BON restaurant. By far the best ramen in Prague. I've been going there for the past 3 years and always got only delicious food there.
Hi Jen, firstly many congratulations! 😊 And secondly I have one cooking question for Honza. 😅 When you make matzo balls, do you use original matzo meal or you found something more common in CZ what I can use for replacement? Many thanks! 😊😊
Jestliže je otázka schválili by pražáci naši prahu tak ono jo i ne
1) sám teďka bydlím na vinohradech zastávku nahoru na floře, ale vyrůstal jsem na jižním městě jak jsi říkala že moc lidí nebydlí v centru to je pravda, ale vinohrady jsou centrum nebo alespoň širší centrum hodně prahy je na hajích dejvicích atd kde vlastně žádná krása prahy není jen paneláky
2) na tom zápase jsem byl taky jen na severní tribuně
3) můj point je nebo návrh udělat video z krajů prahy tam kde končí metro aby bylo vidět že bohužel není celý město zas tak krásný
4) jinak super videa i já se od tebe občas něco přiučím
Jak říkají za louží keep the good work up 😊
Nicely done video! But too many restaurants. I hope they will give you a discount because of this promotion. :) It is funny how different people feel differently about working from home. I enjoyed not having to spend too much time in the office (where I work alone in silence the whole day).
I find it fascinating that you still find Old Town Square magical even after 10 (?) years in Prague!
Můj skoro švagr ze Skotska žijící v Praze byl na tom zápase taky, ale fandí Bohemce 1905.
Omg! Doggo the Smol Sosiq is back!!!
Cool. 👍
What a nice Casey's NYC vibe! In Prague! By an Angeleno. How about that!
My Grandma lived also near Namesti Miru. xD And the mayor is a Pirate xD
Great video Jen! I admire you for going to the gym so early in the morning.
Btw I thought that you were a vegetarian?…
Very nice video.
