PRAHA, ČESKÁ REPUBLIKA
09/02/2022
Today started in a little hurry. After binge-watching “Burn Notice“ with my girlfriend Nasti the night earlier, I wanted to make the best of my good night‘s sleep and slept all the way through 9am. This was followed by rushing to VŠE, where the ESN (Erasmus Student Network) city tour was supposed to begin. I met a group of exchange students there and we waited for about 15 minutes before realising that the ESN team had outsourced the tour to an app we were all supposed to download. So off we went on our own.
After a half-hour walk, our first stop was a turning head of Franz Kafka. We then continued our way to pass a couple of cars being wheel clamped by police. They seem to take wrong parking quite seriously here, although I am wondering if it wouldn’t cheaper to simply buy an angle grinder (a Bosch GWS 18V-10 goes for about 170€) and get rid of these clamps – at least that’s what I always wanted to do.
Walking through town I noticed the distinct Bavarian flag at a building. Turns out, Bavaria has an actual Embassy here. I did not know such existed.
After lunch at an Italian place I split off from the group to get some dessert in a tranquil place called “Donuterie”. The Raspberry-White-Chocolate Doughnut was the best I have ever had, so I got some more to take away.
Needless to say it did not take me too long to finish the batch. Good thing is for the next months I have found a new favourite dougnut store (Not that I had another one before it).
Oh and not to forget, we also went to the ‘Museum of Old Prague Ghosts and Legends‘ to learn a bit about a selection of interesting urban tales and legends revolving around Prague.
Ahoj!
