[PRCo] Re: European Highway Tolls

Finnish .... that's the stick figure of one of the four men going up  
and coming down the mountains to and from the house of ill repute.    
As I remember the others were Russian, Himalayan, and you all know  
what the guy going up the wrong mountain was.

Boris ...

I just thought that you better send it directly to me because  
Derrick's server will strip all the accents off the Czech letters but  
mine will not.    Send to fwschneider at comcast.net with advise on how  
to pronounce it.

Is it required on all roads or just motorways, freeways, expressways  
(autobahns, autostrada, autobhanen)?   On my first visit to  
Czechoslavakia, I recall the roads were free but gasoline was priced  
differently for foreigners than for the locals.   We came in with a  
full tank from Dresden, DDR  and that got us through to Regensburg in  
the Bundesrepublik Deutschland without having to pay twice as much as  
the locals.
