My first day there seemed as rich as a week's vacation, staying to dinner past midnight and walking through rainy streets crowded with young people, hearing Irish and British and French and German and American voices as well as Czech.I was equally impressed at the low cost of <A HREF="http://www.radio.cz/en/article/46095" REL="nofollow">Czech beer</A> and took advantage of this as often as possible. Prague was my first stop in a trip through Europe and was definitely the highlight. Cheap restaurants and <A HREF="http://www.prague-hotels.org.uk/" REL="nofollow">Prague hotels</A> are at good value. This place has a New York-like energy, probably more so than Chicago or London, but the energy takes place within a labyrinth of centuries-old narrow Gothic streets, with more shops on them than I've ever seen anywhere. There's a perfumerie on every block, it seems, and the density of cafes, beer pubs, restaurants, and sweet shops -- all of them overlapping in function -- far exceeds that.Erickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17625242814447234079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7070053671376569995.post-87925194632930185382008-04-22T04:09:00.000-07:002008-04-22T04:09:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Erickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17625242814447234079noreply@blogger.com
