There is a huge expat community, almost everyone speaks English and IT jobs are open to everyone and will help you with visa and sometimes even relocation. I worked in a company with hundreds of foreigners, they all like it here.

Prague is a beautiful city and they were generally friendly to me and didn't mind speaking English. Some don't and sign language helped when I traveled. But they knew I was a tourist (I was a brown Indian guy who is not exactly the type there ;)). One thing I found surprising for being an European city is how hard it is to find any kind of food past 9 PM. Maybe I picked a neighborhood like that to stay? Also, stores didn't bother following any sort of schedule :). Overall,I'd love to live in Prague and experience more of what the city has to offer. And the train ride from Germany to Prague is so awesome!

Travelling there next week, anything you would recommend?

Try finding a restaurant in the Netherlands past 9PM. Past 0100 it gets nigh impossible until the next morning 8-9am (6am if you only want a banana or cookie from a train station).

I take it it's different in India?

Really? This is a gross generalization, but in any large US city there are places open 24/7 for the most part.

A lot of European cities don't have anything or close to anything open at night. But it varies wildly by country.

Which neighborhoods can u recommend? Preferably walk-able with cafes etc and some expats..

Karlin, Andel, Vinohrady

Everything in Prague is walkable and has public transport :-)
