Prague is beautiful but SUPER touristy. the main square is a tourist trap, and can be just as expensive as Euro currency countries (not an official term). the currency is the Czech Koruna (.06 US dollars).
still, Prague is unlike any other city i have seen. there are a lot of high, natural points, that offer a fantastic view of the city. Prague Castle is a must see, as well as Petrin hill and Petrin Tower, which is modeled after the Eiffel Tower. Charles Bridge is ALWAYS overwhelmingly crowded, but incredible.
there are marionettes EVERYWHERE. i managed to hold off until the very last day when i was eating, and some man decided to put on house music and a marionette danced to it. so, OF COURSE, i bought one. his name is McErl Urquel. he has a new home in Vienna with Hannah and Flo though.
also, on our last night, we witnessed the event of WITCHES NIGHT. some people dress up as witches and burn marionettes to ward of winter, and welcome in spring.
specialties: Pilsner Urquel, Budvar, absinthe, marionettes, goulash.
i discovered hot dog sleeves: a roll that is hollowed out by a spear like contraption, filled with your sauce of choice (mustard or ketchup or both), and a hot dog. ingenious because nothing spills out of the bottom. it is not all that special, but i love it.
