Today we took a Prague City Tour…ya kno,
those with a tour guide walking around with an unbrella/flag/anything long & pointy.
Of course, we spent our morning at these must-see places in Prague like the:
Prague Castle
Charles Bridge
Astronomical Clock
* i went to this place 6 times [!] cuz it was within walking distance from my hotel..
everyday, at 6 o’clock in the evening, ppl gather outside to watch the thing move about…urm,
i dunno how to explain….well i recorded a video of it but i aint gonna post it here
As we were walking, i passed by this thing which scared me!!

And then we spent our afternoon walking around the Old Town Square entering many many crystal shops…
It was a crazy spending spree, not for me, but my mum -_-"
She purchased so many stuff that we couldnt continue shopping bcuz we had too much crystals to carry!
I was my mother’s walking calculator…i helped her convert their currency to ours.. see, i did Math revision there!
Below, are Faberge/Imperial Eggs

its so cute & pretty… its just some expensive decorative items..i just adore it!
We shopped so much we kinda skipped lunch… the power of shopping!! ^-^
Later that day, after resting awhile in the hotel, we went out again..
but i was lazy to walk so we summoned (summoned! big word..hahaa….ok, not really larr) Pavel.
We told him to drive us to St. Peter & St. Paul’s Cathedral…it was very windy as i cud remember. Freakin cold too!!
I like this door design at St. Peter & Paul’s Cathedral..

Then we went to Wencelas Square…and guess what…
loads of teenagers hanging out there…i dunno y.. its a tourist area / town centre ?
We then went to their market area. its an open air market…selling fresh fruits & vegetables.
They sold candies too! Of course i couldnt resist tryin it so i purchased some..
Bought some nougat. it aint ur ordinary nougat, it’s really soft & creamy..with almonds on the top.
The sweetness is just right for the taste buds <3
We took a walk again…as they say, thats the best way to get to kno a city, on foot!
And yeap, i found out something bout these ppl…they SMOKE alot!
chimney mouths…puffing away like their cigarettes grow on trees.
I bought an Eurodog…fancy name aint it? Well, it’s just hotdog from a roadside stall.
Its like a french baguette cut in half with a hollow tube to insert the ketchup/mustard & hotdog in it.. simple eh?
It tastes great! (maybe cuz its warm & the weather was cold)
Thats bout it for my last day in Prague..i slept early that night cuz i had to wake up at 3am to go to the airport!
oct 6 story to be posted soon.
