Czech Republic Koruna (Money)Travel and money seam intertwined but traveling in multiple countries with different currency well there is a whole new cook book to ways of doing it. The usual problems are the worst exchange rate that is out there. Its almost unavoidable since the money changers has to make a living and even bank rates are always slightly lower. You are always a loser when it comes to traveling and changing money which was what I felt. Unless of course if you travel during a crisis (Euro de... read more »
Good ole Richie Rich gave me not one but two new mini adventure after a long time. We were going to a couch surfing event he created which was on the outskirts of the old town Prague set in a gym that serves beer and has a ping pong table.

So on the way to some ping pong and drinks event he created we went out waiting for the troller-bus on a Sunday evening. As... read more »
Average Hostel - Good Company Charles BridgeThe hostel I choose was not the best one nor was it the worst but nowhere within my comfort zone to stay there for more than a week. Something to complain about however make good conversation in a hostel dorm. I made two new friends there out of all the many people that stayed in the hostel.*Richie Rich* would be a sarcastic American which thinks he could get away with anything by adding the word ‘I’m Joking’ at the end of the sentence. Dark humor was his th... read more »

Black Light TheaterIf you are into plays and performing arts the black light theater in Prague is not to be missed. I have seen many Broadway shows and this one is definitely one of a kind. The whole theater is pitch dark that once you are seated and the lights goes off you cant see anything at all even your hands. The whole play is done in darkness using glow sticks, painted glow in the dark costumes and props and spot lights at certain angles only to create illusions where a normal theater cant. The pl... read more »
Here I was at last Prague. I have heard a lot about this place from fellow dorm mates and recommended by many people whom I met along the way. It was a built up expectation which is always not a good thing for me. Fred Ginger Building Dancing House Prague old town is indeed interesting. I took a stroll and first weird thing I saw was the Gingerbread building or more commonly known as Dancing House. I stood there looking for a very long time remembering how I saw a photo of it once somewhere. It was u... read more »

Dacă cineva vă recomandă să vă duceți în Praga, duceți-vă. Eu am ajuns acolo datorită faptului că vroiam la concert Coldplay, dar acum m-aș duce chiar dacă nu ar fi acolo concert.

Eu am impresia că în orașele unde sunt turiști, și străzi multe pietonale, muzica e mai bună și arta mai frumoasă. În Praga am văzut mulți oameni care cântă în stradă. Unii așa își câștigă pâinea, alții încearcă să se lanseze în muzică, iar alții doar din plăcerea muzicii. Barry îmi spunea că a văzut [...] read more »
Călătoria mea pentru Coldplay mi-a demonstrat încă o dată că totul e în călătorie și nu în scopul anume. Știu că eram cu vreo oră înaintea concertului și îmi era tot una dacă mai ajung sau nu și în momentul acela aș fi simțit zero regrete dacă totuși nu aș fi ajuns. Pentru mine concertul [...] read more »
