Prague!

This weekend I decided to take a trip to the Czech Republic to visit my good friend Julia who is studying in Prague. First of all I have to say that is a BEAUTIFUL city. Of all the cities Ive been in Europe, like 4, Id say this one was the coolest. The weather was magnificent. Around 20C/70F degrees which in my mind is pretty much perfect. With the exception of one day of rain, it was close to perfect. Considering the fact that the weather was pretty bad up until that weekend, I can only conclude that I own the weather. Its the only logical explanation.

The first day I got there we wondered around the city
This is a crappy picture of the Milunić and Gehry's Dancing building which is made to look like two dancers...dancing



We also checked out the Charles Bridge which has many cool statues that are actually all replicas because the originals are kept in museums to keep them from being defaced




Kanye West also filmed one of his videos on the bridge which is pretty cool. You can see the statue of the Crucifix in the video. If youre in a hurry, skip to 1:09

Then we went to the John Lennon wall which is the only legal place to graffiti in the city, but you wouldnt know it. There are tags and graffiti everywhere.








The architecture is beautiful



This is an artist's rendition of what communism does to a person.



The US dollar also goes farther there which is nice seeing that it is $1.60+ to the Euro. A beer can be had for $2!

Those mugs are pretty sweet too, they made me want to sing sea shanties and become a pirate.


A cool astronomical clock



A sweet cathedral


Jewish cemetery which was pelted by acid rain during the environmentally concerned communist era which caused the rough texture of the stones


Statue of Charles the IV


And an artists rendition of the statue



Over all I had a really great time. It was good to see Julia, and meet her roommates! Good times were had all around. I have to run to class soon so this will have to do!
