Czech Please


Weather it's night or day, rain or shine Praha is a beautiful city. Filled with history and majestic buildings and bridges, Praha holds a beauty uniquely its own. I wish I could say everyone there was friendly like in Switzerland and Germany, but sadly its not the case. The staff at Sir Toby's was very friendly, and this old man who helped me was nice. He didn't know english very well so he spoke German to me. I got the legist of what he was telling me!
One word of warning for those planning on visiting Praha, not very many locals seem to speak English and if they do it's not very much it seems. Also if you plan on taking a showering when you go to hostels, bring your own towel. Luckily for me Sir Toby's rented out towels.
Besides the open markets where the Asian people haggled with you and literally dragged you into their shop, I really enjoyed the ballet we went to. It was called Swan Lake with music by Tchekofsky. The way those dancers can move so gracefully yet powerful and quickly was stunning!
