This feature is borrowed from Ed Jacob’s fascinating series of questions and answers about the hidden face of Japanese life that is published in Japanzine. It is intended to answer queries about puzzling aspects of life in the Czech Republic. Readers are invited to send queries to aroberts@northwestern.edu.
