5 reasons you should visit Prague

Pics uplorded on previous post.


From an tourist viewpoint, not based on objective facts.

Reason #1, Beautiful City
If you have to walk everyday for some reason, I recommend you to spare a minute to think about how much pleasure do you deprive from walking. Yep, just walking. It may seem trivial to you but when you visit a beautiful city like Budapest or Prague, it's worth paying attention to. Never forget to bring the most walkable shoes you have in spite of worrying over how much beautiful you would be looked. Goodlooking or not you are, people would never give you any single glance. Of cource we also were not exception, city had been fixed our attention whole time. Beyond any descriptions, Prague is marvelous.


One of the seactrets of Prague's astonishly beauty is most part of the city has been seldom, if ever, destroyed with war.


Combination of historical obsolete buildings and latest contemporary art.
Magnificent city should be handed down from generation to generation.



Reason #2, Fine Beer

Budweiser is not American.


Although I know such a remark is open to misunderstanding, however, who knows the exactly origin of it? Yes, it's Budejovicky' Budvar. This Czech local beer's name is borrowed into other beers all over the world.


Czech beer is well-known for its quality and price. These days, every currency of Central European countries are extremely getting strong, still cheap the beer is. Compared with japanese one, it tastes sweater and lighter a bit so that it goes down very easily.


When I tried to choose one, quite a few sorts of beers made me indecisive. 3 liters for 1st day, and another 3 liters for 2nd day. And the conclusion is,

1st Pilsner Urquell
2nd Budejovicky' Budvar
3rd Krusovice
4th Staropramen
5th Gambrinus
6th Kozel

The reason I don't like Kozel so much is it's too sweet for me. But it's worth trying Kozel, even if you are not a big fan. It might be good for ladies.



Reason #3, Historical and Religious
St. Charles 4th is credited with sowing the seeds of Bohemian Independent. On the both edge of the Charles bridge, 30 fancy seints' sculptures are lined up. Nancy is sophisticated enough to bring her iPod with Vltava. You know, Listening to Vltava above Vltava.

Always crowded the brigde is, still solemn atomosphere remains.


Statue of Francis Xavier.
You can see Asian looking statues sustains the Francis Xavier. Needless to say that he was a missoner in Asian field includes Japan.



The magnificent cathedral dates back to 930..


This blue apartment inside the Palace is the place Franz Kafka used to commute to write novels.



Reason #4, Affable People, exclueds station attendants





French Party People
It was quite cheap hostel where we slept. Just 3,500 HUF(24USD)/1 night. Booking Domitory means we have to share one room with others. Our 1 night flatmates were 3 happily French road trippers.




Around 1 AM, we came back from Argentine bar. Opening a door of our room, the French drunkards have already started their own party with loud music and wines they brought all the way from French.

Quickly realising that we were not allowed to fall asleep, we just joined them saying "we are not Chinese".

Because of Nancy's French, three guys' incapability of speaking English was not problem. Music defeates language, at times, especially when people are drunken.



Hostel owner.
I always take pictures when someone wears Japan-related T-shirt. The problem is, however, when we were leaving he said to me "Say hello to your Sumo Guys !" How can I say hello to Sumo wrestlers ?



Australian Bar
On the 2nd day's night, we were looking for something to eat. Even though I knew looking for cheap restaurant in the very tourists area was not good idea, i could not stop hoping the presence of a few cheap ones because of serious stomachahe. Also, for some reasons I planed to take another beer even though I was sure that my stomach was collaposed by too much beer.

Then finally we found Australian bar managed by Australian owner. The day was the day for concert so that he was quite happy enough to serve us free drinks. After spending 15 or 20 minutes in bathroom, the last Chesky beer went down to my throat, stomach, and bowel. Quickly, but lingeringly.

The owner and this lady from New Zealand joined us and told us a lot of stories about living in Prague as a foreigner.



A Tunisian guy
After getting on a night train, One Tunisian guy was searching his seat with heavy his suit case. Nancy helped him a bit and then we talked almost 1 hour in the compartment. The reason why I look up to her is she always help someone on the street, bus station, in front of ATM or on the night train, whereever, though I prefer to ignore them.

Lying on the stall, He showed Tunisian pictures and Music. He said he is an IT manager in Brno, an another city in Chez Republic.


I only said "Sorry but that was good game" when he said to me "Why Japan defeated us in 2002 ?". He knows a lot, and loves Kawaguchi very much.
"Compared to Narazaki, Kawaguchi is much better. Use Kawaguchi ! "
"We need a good goal keeper just like Kawaguchi"
"For a goal keeper, Kawaguchi is not so tall, but he moves really quickly, amazing"
"You're very lucky coz Kawaguchi is still starting lineup, aren't you ?"
"Nakata, Nakamura, Inamoto, Takahara,,,,and,,, what else,,,,aw yes, TODA !! yeah, he is good player, right?"

Meeting new people is always funny.



Reason #5, Whatever


God inhabits in detail.


Their dicks move quickly, smoothly passionately and fiercely.


Whole city is a museum. Nancy stocked in one of the works so called telephone box art.


Just have a look at this black and white wall made in 17 century. So as to make a big picture with inexpensive money, painters spread ashes over the wall thoroughly, and then scrached it patiently.


This way to decorate a wall is is also famous in Checz. If you just have a look from far away, it looks like a 3-D building. Let's close to it.


See ? It's flat. It's just carved walls. This style had been popular in 17 century. Amazing technic.


As a conclusion,



Yes, Prague guarantees big pleasure so that you will not care about little stuff, for example, you should not check every 30 minutes if your polo shirt is inside-out or not. Nancy found it at 7 PM.
