i went to prague in 2006 for a few nights and loved it, so i thought i would go bak for another look.
prices for trains were 120quid which is like $200 so i checked out busses. the busses were expensive too, they were 100 quid. so i hitch hiked for 10quid, well its organised hitch hiking. there is a website that people write where and when they are travelling, then u ring them and plan where to meet. but u still wait for them with ya thumb out so its hitch hiking by technicality.
anyway got to prague no problems and had a good sleep. next day i did my sight seeing of prague. taking in the prague castle, st nicholas church, charles bridge, astronomical clock etc. prague has loads of historical sights that look amazing day and night.
that night i went a bar and liverpool vs tranmere was on so i got settled there with a couple of welsh and dutch lads.
next day i just relaxed and wandered around in my own little world, finding little shops, bars, buildings that i didnt kno existed. in my dorm was this eccentric german chap that was in prague for the world amatuer chess tournament where he was seeded number 2 out of 350 players. that arvo we had a few games and he was amazing. the last game he told me before the game started that the rook would get me check mate, and it did! he explained after every game his strategy so now i will be unbeatable bak in oz!
that night we went to the biggest club in central europe with 5 levels with an elevator to acces each of them. each floor had a theme. it was a great night with pivo and the infamous absence involved.
prague is stil great but it has got to a point that tourist rule the city which is a shame. i heard many different languages but not czech and there are so many tours, souvenier shops that it sorta takes away the czech culture but stil worth a visit.
