That's berry weird...

Fruit kiosk in the mall. Selling strawberries and raspberries at the moment, apparently has other fruit available in other seasons. Strange place to buy your fruit...

Also had an "Aha!" moment at the grocery store (actual grocery store, not kiosk). I just realized that they don't have any "pennies". Eg, if your bill comes to 57.90 koruna (like mine did), you hand over 58 koruna and call it square. I was getting very mixed up at the cash register, since smaller koruna (50 koruna or less) are in coin form, which seemed like it should be like our coinage and equivalent to whatever comes after the decimal. I'd taken to just holding out my money to the cashier and letting them pick out the appropriate coinage.

Now that I finally get it, I aspire to come across as less of an idiot when I purchase things. Key word there is probably "aspire".
