While in Prague, I visited Hradkny Castle tour, Konopiste/Kutna Hora, and the Kafka Museum. These included the Castle in Prague, Saint Vitus and Saint George, Kafka house, and the bone church. Before coming to Prague I was told how beautiful it is, and everyone was right. I wasn't expecting Prague to be as big as it was. Prague consists of the old town and new town, which is connected by the Charles Bridge. The landscape was not smooth. There were cobblestonesevery step of the way. The buildings were close together and a mixture of Roman and Gothic architecture. Similar to Vienna, they don't speak English. Czech was harder to follow, while in Vienna I could pick up on some German.
It was interesting to see the Castle and see where the people I read about once lived. Visiting the various cathedrals and comparing them on whether they are gothic or Roman architecture was interesting. It is important to be aware of your surroundings in a new area. You take in a lot of information and learn something new. It is different being here than learning about a culture elsewhere. I learned to adjust with the language differences, and I take in the beautiful buildings around me.
