Prague, Praha, prag, praga, the original and true sin city. Anything and everything imaginable is available at your finger tips. The streets are old and beautiful. Every building is an architects delight every corner a spire. Every window an old European look and feel. The streets are paved but more often than not they are cobble stone. Restaurants, shops, bars, and clubs are everywhere and often right next to each other lining the streets. The streets are full of people going in every direction dodging traffic. Every now and then there is a square with a festival and vendors selling mulled wine and food. Then, into the more modern city every block is a Starbucks or a KFC or a McDonalds. So many different nationalities are present the streets are full of cultures in competition for whatever money you have to spend and what ever your tastes are. To be in Prague is to feel truly free. You can go to a classical music concert in a fine opera hall or to a cafe in an old church square. You can drink in a bar or watch girls in a cabaret. Or, if the spirit moves you have a night with a girl or buy drugs from one of the many African street walkers. It feels like anything is possible here and maybe it is, but surprisingly, it also feels safe. The Polize' are everywhere, and aside from a few pickpockets, no one really has any harmful intentions. FYI, the police are not tour guides and they may not care to help you find your way on the map.

Right On
Enjoyed reading some of your blogs (you have alot published). You are very observant in foreign countries. I can be blind to alot of the things you notice. Your blog on Prague is right on- I felt such freedom there and with everyone being young and pretty, it could easily be a destination for sin city. Basically my experience, which I will publish in the near future.
