Accommodations
An apartment in Prague near
the river in between the new
and the old quarters. It was a
great location!
Other Sites
Coffee and Cigars - the
great cafe/bar/restaurant
with Wi-Fi. They also have
a dj spinning some of the
best music that I've heard
in a while.

My Czech Experience... Highs: Making it out to Cesky Krumlov; visiting the ossuary church in Kutna Hora; exploring Prague without feeling the need to follow a guidebook. Lows: I can't think of any. Best Moment: Cesky Krumlov and being on the Charles Bridge before the masses of people were even awake. Smells: Hot dogs and sausages being sold on the street. Sounds: Bands playing on the street; people cheering on their teams in the World Cup in the main square in Prague; concert in the Spanish Synagogue in Prague. Sights: The ossuary church in Kutna Hora; Cesky Krumlov; Charles Bridge at sunrise and sunset; going to a concert. Tastes: Apple strudel; some good local wines; 'Budvar' beer while watching World Cup; goulash; knedliky (dumplings). Purchases: A cheap pair of sunglasses. Street Food: Sausages; beer. Fun Food Finds: Haven't seen anything too interesting or different in the grocery stores. Western Companies Out Here: This is basically the western world out here. You can find high-end designer stores (in Josefov), McDonald's and KFC, H&M, etc. Other General Info... Visa needed? No. Type of currency? Czech crowns. About 25 make up $1 US. Transportation: Train. I got a cochette in an overnight train from Krakow. Things the Czech Republic Is Known For: Bohemian glass and crystal; marionette puppets; amber and garnets (I'm assuming since they're sold everywhere here); beer. Religion: Catholic (the majority).
