It was a short weekend in Prague when I visited the international insect exchange fair with my friend János Romsauer. We spent the Friday evening with German and Austrian colleagues together in Svatopluk Bílý's home. As usual Svát'a cooked a delicious dinner so we had a right royal time. We admired Svat'a's famous Anthaxia collection and talked about his Australian expedition. Saturday we went to the fair and met other coleopterist friends. After having supper and mugs of beer in an authentic "hospoda" we set off home.
