A city with visual color and warmth. Old. A scene. Tourists everywhere.
Prague, Czech Republic. A little like Budapest but not quite.
The locals are a mix bag - the men exert their dominance or the woman will sass anyone who crosses them. On the other hand, I encountered some locals that were very kind and friendly. For winter there tourists EVERYWHERE. The city is on the water and for the time of year it was surprisingly not frigid. One unique activity I did manage to fit in was a houseboat party on the river. The club was open till 8 AM and some locals came to the club alone. Women even. I do not know anyone who would do that in the states.
I was not wild about my Airbnb. You definitely need to be cautious when booking accomodations abroad. It was cheap (25 dollars a night!) but the place was much more run down than I expected. I could barely see when trying to get ready each morning! I have a small obsession with my hair. HA!
Meat lovers - this is your spot. Any type of meat + potatoes. The staple cuisine. Ick, please bring me a salad.
I STILL cannot get over people will make reservations for tables at coffee shops! Ah...and then the staff will reserve the best table. Sigh.
I have no tips, no pointers, nada. Enjoy. Bridges that are built in the 11th century...colors everywhere. Visit the local art galleries. Get lost in the gothic quarter. Dance. Watch the sunrise.
Take it all in. You will miss when it is time to go.
