Around the year 1911, Albert Einstein met in Prague with Franz Kafka and Max Brod, the writers. Max proposed a sightseeing trip to Český, Německý (now Havlíčkův), and Uherský Brod. Franz refused this on account of his phobia of castles and insect collections, and besides, as he put it, he had no time. “Time is relative, anyway,” concluded Albert. “Let’s taste some wines instead.”
