For someone who spent - literally - 20 hours walking around the city, I can sincerely say that ...
Prague is beautiful.
It's actually quite small city if you compare it to many other European cities (i.e. Paris, Vienna...amongst many).
I felt like I was in a doll-city (versus the traditional dollhouse). I love pastel buildings. SO cute.
The only thing I have to say is that, it's kind of difficult to communicate in Prague, mainly because even in tourist areas, not many speak english - besides the tourists themselves obviously. It seems because of this language barrier, the people who work at attractions seemed very....nervous.
Case in point, when I entered a gallery, they had requested that I leave my bag at the coat check, no prob. The only thing is, when I went and reached for my bottle of water ...."NOOOO..nono!! No drink! gallery!" ....Although I completely understand the reasoning behind it, it was such a dramatic "NO!" I felt like I just commited a serious crime.
Even waiters in restaurants are impatient. Oddly enough though, the moment you step out of the "tourist" areas, and into what I like to call "real Prague", people are surprisingly nice.
Isn't it usually the other way around?
Anyways, enough of my rambling, here are the pics. =)

| the town square - see what I mean? Dollhouses gallore! ...I really did feel like I shrank about 10x and was put into a toy village. That's how cute it was. |

| View of the city from the Royal Palace area - Too bad it was kind of cloudy/smogy that day |

| Me - thouroughly enjoying one of their local foods - basically dough wrapped around a cylinder, baked, and then topped with a lot of sugar and cinnamon. Kind of tastes like Quebec's Queue de Castor. |

| Prague is truly magnificient by night. It's just ...Wow. It was actually darker by then, but my camera picked up a lot more light than I expected. |
Hope you all enjoyed the pics! Look out for the next segment of pics from my trip - next stop Vienna!
Cheers!
