Unexpectable Prague

Ok guys, it'd been a long time since i worthe here something, but it did mean i didnt travel, nooo, i was just too lazy, but this new year i made a resolution to write here, so im trying to do my best now.

this nice bar
After my big italian trip i went to italy again and after it i promised my mum and my friends to settle down a bit and to find a job and actually to study, but, as i like to say, you never know where life is going to bring you. So once, cold january night, when i was supposed to prepare myself for the one of my exams, my friend, who was going to the German-Prague trip asked me if i want to join her and her friends. Well, i said i would think but i didnt have any money, but but but i need any excuse to check prices for tickets) so i did it aaaand i found amazingly cheap tickets to prague almost for the same dates that my friend wanted to come there. Do i need to describe what happened next?)

Well, in less than two weeks i was in Prague) On my way there i had a connection between flights in Budapest and was supposed to have the same on my way back, but you will see what happened after))
Dancing house
So, Prague... Well, to be honest, i didnt expect anything amazing or memorable from this place. Also id been there before, maybe 4 years ago, and didnt have any good memories after.

and night club)
Anyway, to stay there i use my favourite website ever - Couchsurfing, i staied with guy who is originally from Venezuela, but who currently moved to Prague. You know, sinse my visit to Hamburg i understood one important thing - you impression of the city totally depends on people you spend time with. And i must say that this guy in Prague was just perfect for me (like a friend!) - the first night i arrived i was almost sure that my host wouldnt go out and that we would just stay at home, but no! He offered a small city tour and than - tadadam - going to the bar to try famous Czech bear, but on the way to this bar we saw some huge night club that we decided to check out later (what a mistake!). But also i saw some nice Prague places with night lights - what is definitely worth f seeing, especially Dancing House, that looks unreal at night (next to Jiraskuv bridge). Well, bar was really nice, very tiny, but it has spirit, you know (it is somewhere on the right side on Smetanovo embankment). I tried bear (of course) and some local food - fried cheese (i must say that during this trip i wanted to try as many  kinds of traditional food as it was possible). I loved it! Than we met friend of my host and we went to that night club. I dont remember how did i get drunk, but i do remember that that place was fool of british guys and that we were dancing on the stage - no comments guys XD But at the end club was quite OK, it is situated next to the Charle's bridge with blue lights at night, really easy to find)

Next day my host made really great job: he showed me all main attractions in Prague. Firstly we went to the tower that-looks-like-Eiffel  on Petrshin hill, from where you can see all Prague. Actually i think this place is too high and Prague is toosmall from there, but it was the only one place where i saw snow)) From there we walked to the Mala Strana (one of the Prague's districts) where the main attraction was palace with magnificent St. Vit's Church, that i s so big that cant cuit in your camera)) From there through Charle's bridge we went to Stato Mesto, where there is main square with beautiful churches and famous clock, that will blow your mind XD As i told you, i wanted to try some local food, so my host took to me to the very nice place called "U Pinkasu".

I'd better skip drinking part and tell you something that attracted me to Prague (and i isnt legalize) - my favourite writer Franz Kafka spent almost all his life in there, so i just had to see his house and monument (and the last was the hardest to find, but we did it!).

Well also i just have to mention that Prague is a perfect party-place where people go out every night, and going crazy, sometimes even too much, wait, can it be too much?) I loved Prague's nght life, #1 for me in Europe)

Actually in Prague it is so soeasy to meet people, there i met my good friend Maria Angelica from Colombia, who participated in nternship in Moscow last year, and now both of us were in Prague - fantastic)

What else can you find in Prague? John Lennon's wall for example, or all kinds of Absinthe, or amazing Gothic architecture, or the cheapest and one of the best bear in Europe, or whatever you can imagine =) Maybe famous Prague's clock didnt blow my mind, but Prague did (even if i dont remember part of time there clearly).

But now it is time to move to Vienna. Why Vienna? You will see)
