Czech this out!

Well, my first journey to Eastern Europe and I have to say it is definitely underrated. Prague, the city of gold, or the Paris of Eastern Europe, has not only have amazing food and beautiful architecture, but a funky vibe as well. We stuck around old town for most of the visit, where a fair took place. My friends and I indulged in bagels, one thing that had not reached Western Europe. They were so good! Bohemia Bagel, you are my hero! The nightlife is really interesting too. Instead of having bars on the ground floor and working your way up, everything is underground. Dark, smoky, cave-like clubs and bars that really made me feel distant from anywhere I had been. Also, we visited the Jewish Quarter, which was awesome. I was not allowed to take pictures in the synagogues, but take my word for it, they were breathtaking. There was a huge Jewish population in Prague before Hitler, then this quarter was turned into a ghetto, and they were shipped off. What also surprised me was the amount of food choices in Prague, Thai, Indian, pretty much whatever you wanted. Michelle, Sarah, and Davide made this an unforgetable trip.

The Famous Clock
People told me that the cooles thing in Prague was this clock. It was o.k. What happens is hundreds of people wait for nearly an hour awaiting a monumentous show and it turns out to just be like a grandfather clock. haha

I'm Angry
So Sarah told me everyone there had an attitude because of the past government. It was true.

I`m Jealous!
Everything there looks so Old World but so interesting. Can`t believe u were able to get "bagels". Everyone looks like they are really enjoying it all. This experience is something u will remember forever. But truthfully, I can`t wait for u to return, u looks like u have matured and got even better looking. Keep this blog going, we r really feel like we r traveling with you.
