Wash Post: Tolkien fans re-enact 'The Hobbit' in the woods of the Czech Republic

 The Washington Post has posted a series of photos from the Tolkien reenactment that takes place every spring in Doksy, Czech Republic. There are some amazing costumes and battles showcased, but we do have to point out one small detail. We don't think the warrior with the bikini briefs was a core character in Tolkien's Middle-earth. Probably a rogue, yet eccentric, Orc. :P [Gallery]

In 1993, it split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The Czech Republic is the part that used to be known as Bohemia. It borders Germany, Poland, and Austria.

"Of all faces those of our familiares are the ones both most difficult to play fantastic tricks with, and most difficult really to see with fresh attention. They have become like the things which once attracted us by their glitter, or their colour, or their shape, and we laid hands on them, and then locked them in our hoard, acquired them, and acquiring ceased to look at them.
Creative fantasy, because it is mainly trying to do something else [make something new], may open your hoard and let all the locked things fly away like cage-birds. The gems all turn into flowers or flames, and you will be warned that all you had (or knew) was dangerous and potent, not really effectively chained, free and wild; no more yours than they were you." -On Fairy Stories

I feel slightly offended by your question and all I can really say is: "Google"

Some of my ancestors in the German line were originally from Bohemia, and I did a school report on Czechoslovakia in grade school, so I learned some about the country then and I've always been interested, but I certainly don't qualify as well-informed on the subject.
Geography and the history of other nations is a bit of a blank in most history courses, so (like so many other things) it is left to one to self-educate if one has the interest. Fortunately, I like learning new things.
