Dobre Dane,
Before my trip to Prague I used a combo of rb, google, mpnet, *** to scope it out a bit.
These links seemed to have the highest signal/noise ration:

Based on that research I determined I had 4 types of options:
- Big Sister
- Strip/Night Clubs
- Escorts
- Privats
Big Sister caught my initial interest due to their offer of free sex.
I tried, however, to make a free-sex-appointment with them and they told me it was not available to me:

2 other types of action might be available but I saw little evidence of them before or during my trip:
- SWs
- Free-lancers working bars
During my trip, I focused solely on Privats based on my guess they offered biggest bang-per-buck.
Other pre-trip activities I engaged in:
- Study the city maps at escort.cz
- Learn some Czech.
Study of the maps convinced me that I could access most of the Privat talent via subway AKA "Metro" and trams.
My Czech study:

search words: pimsleur czech
During my trip from SFO to Prague, I listened to the Pimsleur Czech recordings which I obtained from the above public library and then burned to my mp3 player.
Also I listened to them over and over during my freetime periods in Prague.
My first night in Prague I called 6 privats and could not pierce the language barrier.
Some of the Privat ads claim the ladies know English but the POs seemed to understand only Czech.
So, I lacked the ability to ask simple questions like who is working? and what is your address?
Therefore, I spent my first 3 days in Prague with a phrase book and mp3 recordings learning Czech.
I did this by walking up to various hotel desks and asking simple questions.
And these questions are similar to the types of questions I ask of Privats on the phone:
- What's the rate?
- When can I visit?
- How long can I stay?
- What's included?
- What if I don't like the room?
- Do you take dollars or credit cards?
- Does the shower work?
- Are the sheets clean?
- Is the neighborhood safe?
- Where is the nearest tram stop?
- Where is the nearest metro stop?
- Can I call for directions if I get lost?
It's funny that after all that talking to hotel operators, I used the web to book my hotel.
I got a reasonable room for $40/night with a free (but bad) breakfast.
Anything over $60/night is probably a rip-off.
Also at tram-stops and the subway, I'd act lost and chat-up people while waiting for transportation.
After 3 days of doing this I spoke enough Czech to be able to call a Privat and get their address and an appointment.
Also I found SMS useful but every place responded to SMS messages only after they heard my voice at initial contact.
And I noticed that the PO did know some basic English when we could get to the SMS level of interaction.
In retrospect, I think I should have practiced my Czech on Prague hotel clerks from the comfort of my San Jose office using skype for a couple of weeks before the trip.
My next objective is Warsaw Poland and that will be my language-plan for that monger destination.
Any way in Prague, once I started getting appointments I encountered a new list of barriers similar to what we see here in CA at AAMPS:
- Double booking
- Not picking up the 2nd call
- B & S photos
An additional barrier was what I call the "dirty apartment".
I saw 3 apartments which offered an unclean bed with no shower.
Also some of B & S was really outrageous:
- I met one 25 year old woman who looked over 50
- I met another lady who was about 6 months pregnant (she was pretty though).
After all these barriers I found 2 places which offered acceptable services:
