Prague, Prague and Prague. There was something in Prague that made me believe one day I would live there.
The city has so much fun to offer. The history, the food, the cheap beer, and the clubs. It is a no-limit city.
I really like being in Prague. People were warm welcoming the tourists. When I am browsing in the shop, I wasn't
feeling pushed or pressured to buy anything. Prices were properly listed.
Old Town Square was the centrepoint, everything starts there. I love the the group performing at different corners of the
the square, patio cafes were there for me to sit and relax and did some people watching. Charles Bridge was another
place I really enjoyed. Local musicans played their best to make a living.
The castle on the other side of the river gave me a sense of being royal. The massive palace and cathedral were there
to observe the great view of Old Town.
At the end, I managed to watch a soccer game, Prague Sparta FC, a local football club. Although I only had 2 days in Prague,
I enjoyed every minute of it. The people that I met, the beer that I drank, the music that I enjoyed ....I would never forget.
ok, ... exactly 499 Metres from here, there's McDonald's, .. hmmm are you sure it's not 500 metres ?
My first Czech beer in Czech.
Golach soup.
Needless to say, .. it is a boy's room.
Not so sure about this though !
The astrologic clock at the Old Town Square.
He was certainly desperate for work !!
Hmmmm, does it look like Scandinavian?
None of the streets in Old Town Prague is street ....
And you do need comfy shoes for Prague , everywhere is paved by cobblestones ...
I need 2 more players to play chess with ?
Tower at the Charles Bridge.
oh oo, rain was coming in !
Here's King Charles.
Overseeing River Prague.
You have to admire this band...
He was playing with 2 whisks, on a metal washing board.
This was one of my highlight of my trip, enjoying the Old Men Band .....
Look carefully, he still have the ciagrette in his hands .... I love it !
He was like the drummer in a band ... hiting the metal washing board...with his finger caps
Watch this video clip. (7.8 MB file).
In the name of the father .. of the son ...
You know how long I have to wait for taking this shot
"Smile .... I got it , I got it"
Yes, this is the way to clean a public statue .... ! Have every tourist touching it !
Their street car are also very efficient
This is a subway (Metro) station, ... it made me feel so dizzy ...
On top of the hill, overseeing the Old Town ...
The Cathedral of the Palace.
Guards changed every hour .....
The front of the guard tower for the palace.
The back of the guard tower for the palace.
OK. This one is cool, see the alley between the building ....
It is a pathway down to a few pubs and restaurants on the river
And they put traffic lights ....
to control the flow, because the alley is so narrow .....
Charles Bridge, ... I wish I can bring this view home ....
And we captured a view of this swan .... .
This is a "menu", very artistic ... a local cafe
I like this piece as well .. in the cafe.
Who's there ? cafe au lait, s'il vous plait.
Wanna a Czech, have a Budweiser ! Really, Budweiser in Czech is different from the US's Bud. In fact the Czech's Budweiser (http://www.budweiser.cz/) is much older that the US's .
McDonald's .... is everywhere ..
I passed by this clock at least 10 times.
I really love these stone paved pattern street ... too bad only in Europe
They simply build a school in front of a Cathedral .. back in the days ... blocking everything.
Not sure if it was caused by over-pruning or they !
This building uses German style architecture ....
It is common, in Prague, each building will have a sign animal ....
Look at the craftsmenship !
This building uses Cuban style architecture ....
Havent really seen this kind of sculpture on a lamp post before !
Obviously Wolfgang was here .....
Who's up there ? A strange sight above a street in Staré Mêsto. We never did figure out why this little man was hanging out over the street. He wasn't fixed to the bar, so if there was a breeze, he swayed back and forth.
I think this is a sculpture called "Hanging Out" by Czech artist David Cerny, made in 1996.
Havent seen you for a while, buddy, ..good to see you.
I dont even know what is the name for this cathedral ....
These nice building are on the opposite side of river across from Old Town.
The Tower of Charles Bridge, again ....
The guy next to me ... he just cranked a machine that play music,....he didnt play any music at all! What a loser ..
Off the West side of Charles Bridge.
I didnt do the boat on the Prague river .....
This is the freedom of speech I was talking about.
This is the only wall in public, where anyone can write anything without any consequences.
What's that blue one say ?
420 friendly as well ....
Of course, .. green peace !!!!
What a wonderful afternoon to be on the top of the hill, to look down to Old Town Prague.
The modern palace on top of the hill.
Ahhh the Czech's Flag, finally.
The big cathedral in side the palace wall.
The Gate to the Palace.
This is the front of the St. Vitus .
It shows the "The Last Judgement" from 14th century.!
I always want to be a guard like him .... just standing there ....
Whoa ....here it is, ....
He played pretty nice music ....
Bush visited Prague trying to negotiate a deal, putting a radar on Czech's soil, so that it can detect potential missle launch from Iran. In return, US will waive the visa requirement for Czech Citizens.
Czech car - Skoda with Czech plate!
Slovakia plate.
Hungarian plate.
Portugese plate.
Crossing to the hill top using another bridge ....
Sunset time ...in Prague.
Oh my... Police, we were in trouble.
More police .... for the football game
I went to see a football game ... The Prague Sparta FC.
Sparta won 4-1 ..this game ... YEAH!!!
I have the golach ... with potato bread.
Traditional Czech restaurants still use simple tallying for billing. hmm, market potential for computerized systems =P
