Pivo

The reason I named this post Pivo is because it's the Czech word for beer, and it is the national drink of Czech. On one of my free walking tours the guide told me this and continued to tell us that on average the Czech citizen (of age) drinks one liter of beer everyday. The most expensive beer I bought in prague was 50crown which comes to about $2.50 while on average I was paying about $1.75. Enough of the beer talk and let's talk about the time spent here. 

I learned very quickly to use the bathroom not when needed but when convenient or a free bathroom was present, it costed money to use the bathrooms in prague. 

Also coins are a large part of currency in other countries and making sure I use them is becoming part of daily life. It adds up

I was staying with Hazar in istanbul and had to wake up at 245am for a cheap flight I bought to prague between public transit and check in I was ready to board my flight at 530am. I flew from Istanbul to Kiev Ukraine to Prague. AFTER arriving we went to walk through the old town square and across Charles bridge then went to Katherine to sleep where I stayed for the duration of my stay in prague. 

I did a lot of traveling by myself as she had school so I would find things to do and just wander around and look at the magnificent architecture and buildings that are 3x older then the oldest buildings in the USA. There are many notable sights to see but I will give you a quick rundown. 

Charles bridge was started in 1357 and have had many statues on it over the past 700 years. 

The Astronomical clock which was built more then 600 years ago. This clock which is only adjusted 2 times a year can tell the time, it also reveals babylon, old bohemian, German, sidereal time, zodiac information, and the position if the moon. It also has the 12 apostles that come out and a rooster that crows. 

 We also went to the top and this is what it looks like from up there.

I saw many cathedrals, Saint james, church of our lady before tÿn, church of Saint Nicholas, st. Virus, and church of St. Peter and St. Paul. Although prague has all these beautiful churches and they take such great care of them only 11% of Czech population attend church regularly.

Besides that we also went to the John Lennon wall, prague castle, vysehrad, golden lane, went to the Jewish town and saw buncha old synagogue and the old Jewish cemetery, and Wenceslas square.

This is a pregnant lady that is supposedly contemporary art. 

The national museum

In the communist museum 

And the torture museum

Came across a bunch of these guys

See John Lennon? That's why this wall is names after him

Had a bunch of weird food that I didn't know what it was. I took on the idea of pointing and shooting (close my eyes and pointing randomly at the menu and ordering that) 

All in all had a fantastic time and now making my way to Vienna Austria via a bus that was $20.  Will be staying at a hostel and hopefully make a few friends. 

Missing everyone and I hope your still enjoying the pictures and such.
