Prague

Hi! This week I was exploring Prague, a city that stuns with its colorful facades and all the different variations of architecture throughout the centuries. Its a city that reminded me of so many places around the world, Paris, Budapest, Lissabon, Regensburg, Kopenhagen, St. Petersburg, ... and yet it was original. The food was great, reminded me a lot of my bavarian grandmas cuisine, cheese spaetzle, dumplings, ... and then of course there was goulash. The only negative aspect I found, was that the Czech people seem unfriendly and their service can't be compared to any american standard. Even though that aspect and their sometimes incapability of speaking english, try to find places away from the tourist stream. First of all its much cheaper, but also more traditional.
All together I find it was a very interesting trip, with a lot of history and beautiful settings.

Things you must do there:

• Well first of all the typical tourist spots:
• Charles Bridge (Day and Night)
• Prague Castle
• Astronomical Clock (Only if you are there at the moment when its a full hour. Don't wait, otherwise its a joke!)
• Old-New Synagoge
• Clementinum
• John Lennon Wall
• Wenceslas Square 
• Jewish quarter 
• Black market
• Kafka Museum
• Taking the tram anywhere
• Have a Trdelník as a snack (they're best without anything and roasted over fire)
• Go into a small supermarket out of the inner city and look for specialities 
• Terezín everyone has to see
