Just landed in Prague. Despite my lack of Czech language, culture, or geography, I was able to navigate myself 150 miles from the backwoods Ryanair airport(think a schoolbus that flies...) to the bustling, amazing city of Prague. This is the closest a city will ever get to disneyworld. The way the sun sets, and the way the old architecture ooze wisdom, and the way the sidewalks are worn with 2000 years of use, could not be made. It seems otherwordly but you instantly feel at home. Its a great experience for someone looking to leave their comfort zone of english culture. Signs and maps are all (mostly) in Czech. Its amazing how fast you pick up on words like "mast" (bridge). We knew our hostel was near "charles bridge" but of course its not called that in Czech. So you look at a map, notice all the bridges end with the word "mast" and find the one that looks closest to "charles". One started with a "K" and we set off. Anyway going to bed but this city is amazing as your imagination can ... imagine. If your thinking and comparing this to a U.S. city... QUIT IT, YOUR WRONG.
