Prague

Well, my trip to Prague started off strangely. I took about 4 trains to get there, met a lot of American students on the way (did you know they have an NYU and a Boston University campus in Prague? odd, but true). When I got to Prague, I got lost. Basically, I wrote down the number for the place I was staying wrong, and then I got locked into a building and it was all horrible and 10pm at night. In the end I ended up knocking on doors, and borrowing a phone to call a girl I met on the train and I camped in her dorm on the couch there a night!

The next day, having finally found the right address (a whole 2 houses down), shared some odd American style pancakes with the girl I met on the train:

 
(Americans- move to Europe but still manage to make disgusting looking food!)

I went touristing.

Prague is pretty I found, but too many tourists! It was insane, and I ended up taking photos of the crowds:

I did the castle, wandered over the Charles bridge, which is pretty cool (if you ignore the thousands of people), but my favourite thing in Prague was the hill with the cable car. Walking down the hill next to an old wall which was part of city fortifications ( I guess) was very cool, and pretty:



Other than that.. Prague was ok. Go see for yourself, join the thousands of other tourists!
