Karlovy Vary in Karlovy Vary KrajThis picture is a freakin' winner.
Czech
As of yet there's just not as much work put into these Czech names as the Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese names. I suppose after a long time passes new names will evolve, one definitely starts developing ideas for place names as one goes along with one's studies. Western place names are "place holders" that sometimes are interesting, and provide a workable phonetic translation product.
It's difficult but not impossible to find some productive thread of meaning in these translations, its difficult but not impossible to produce some kind of readable English expresssion, of the Chinese translation, of the Czech name. And it certainly is difficult to compile this list without it seeming very arbitrarily composed.

Cities
Brno: Squall at the market
Many Czech cities' names are part of the names of their respective regions.
Floating Tomato Garden, Inle Lake, Myanmar
Kampong Speu, KhmaiKampong Speu is located near the ocean.
Brno has made me thoughtfult. "Squall at the market" is quite a concept, it led me to google "floating village" where I found a nice video of a trip to a town in Tonle Sap in Chinese Yahoo. This waterworld looks a lot like the landworld near it and there is an airconditioned church. The name of the video is 'Chong Khneas Floating Village on Tonie Sap Lake near Siem Reap Cambodia'.
As far as Czech is concerned, the national football team has been doing quite well, soccer and UEFA are not well-covered on ESPN and on national sports radio, it brings up a little-known aspect of Confucianism, "Geopolitical Confucianism", wherein we as European-Americans are supposed to pay attention to our ancestors across the pond. Given all the events of the last 100 years, it would be a good idea to do so. One gains merit in the act of watching sports. Perfectly amazing.
