I think you can take two of those off the list in a visit to Prague, and visit one of the best zoos on the continent and an astounding city thrown into the deal as well

I would dearly love to be able to visit Prague, and Berlin for that matter. But I have animals of my own, and have no one I trust enough to take care of them for a length of time, for me. So I will just have to be content with Youtube and webcams, and enjoy reading/photos about other people's encounters in continental zoos.
