Praha

Ahoj Prague!
Prague , my first destination this winter break. Prague , famed for its rich cultural and historical background and magnificent architecture, is never short of a place for camwhoring. Never walk around Prague without your camera. The appetite to devour all those pretty sceneries can never be satisfied.

Having taken hundreds of photos , these are the few i feel worth sharing. So let the photos do the talking..

Prague Town Square

Statue in front of Prague Museum
Prague Museum
The museum is so big that i had a hard time finding the way out and finishing the tour. And all it cost was 60 crown = RM10. Worthy!

Shopping....
Shopping , shopping here i come. Most of the european brands can be found here , all within walking distance. From shop to shop , the desire to shop will definitely increase. A view at the price (relaively cheap compared to Malaysia), the momentum will not stop until the pocket is burnt. Zara , Next , H&M , New Yorkers , Terranova , Esprit , Debenhams ,Mark and Spencer....

Charles Bridge
Charles Bridge , popularly acclaimed as one of the most romantic spot for lovebirds, has definitely live up to its name. Strolling along the bridge , taking in the view of Prague with Prague Castle as the backgroud , pigeons nestling on the logs , street performers showcasing their stunts , artists capturing magical moments in the pictures , what a nice way to go on a date. But for me , the company of friends can equally bring out the joy. Though lacking in romantism , it is burning with the warmth of friendship.
Just a piece of art
It's Christmas!Joy to the world! I spent my Christmas eve loitering around Prague , doing nothing in specific , but just to experience a new way of celebrating Christmas in a new place. With a hot cup of red wine in hand to warm the body , i spent my first Christmas abroad with the Czechs singing Christmas carols and counting down in front of the Astronomical Clock at Old Town Square. Merry Christmas!Man peeing...Shhhh
Prague Castle..The Castle Guard

In my opinion Prague is the best place to travel . Prague is a beautiful city with architecture going back to the middle ages. I was impressed by the Prague castle, the old town's powder gate tower and the famous astronomical clock. I had a chance to explore the Jewish quarter, also fascinating (the Spanish synagogue is not to be missed). St. Vitus's Cathedral rivals Notre Dame as a massive, buttressed church: it also houses the tomb of "Good King Wenceslas".There are so many tourists, but you always can find a room any hotels in Prague.
