Prague. 

Hmm.. No comment... Very No.... (baca: ga banget...). Man, it is an unbelievable damned so perfect beautiful city... You got what I mean? Yes, this is so perfect. In Indonesian, we can say, imut lucu menggemaskan dan lembut. I still missed this city. Although it's small, I don't think you will feel enough to explore it. 

Ok, a 3 days ticket was about 220 Korunas (around 9 Euros). So, in Prague, everything was cheap. Compare: In France, one 1,5 L Coca Cola is about 2-3 Euros. In Prague, only 1 Euro (surprise!!!). The city was very small. We can go travel around the city by walking. The must-visited places (4 places) were located in city center. I will explain those places after. Because its beauty, I thought this city was filled by tourists mostly. You can check it, everyone speaks foreign languages. The city is like a spider web. See this picture.

Ok, first place that you have to visit is the great Charles Bridge. Ha ha ha, I spent around 2 hours just to find this bridge. But it was true that the map was not so informative. It was complicated and not easy-understood. You won't have an english map, so it was in Ceczh. Charles Bridge = Karlu Most. Find this direction on your map. Ok let's describe what it is look like. I don't know about the history of this bridge since I really do not like history. But, I will give a picture about this bridge. This bridge is around 400 meter length, crossing the Vltava River. Some street-artists showed their works, from jazz musician, painters, magicians, handicrafts artists, and fore-taler (artists? not sure :D). In its both side, it had statues, most christian statues describing hopes, prays, hard works, etc.

This is the best view from this bridge

Next place, Old Town Square. Ok as I told you before, this town was very compact. Old town is the central town. It is like the main meeting point (rendez-vous). It has stores and restaurant, but the main buildings here are the church (with astronomic clock), the other church (Tyn Church) and a big plain which is used to be used for special activities. Like here what I had, X-mas and New year Market. Not just market, they also had performance especially for the kids.

Funny story, I asked somebody how to get Old Town Square. He said it's very easy. Just follow everyone here, they're going to there. Voila, he was right. Everyone is going to there and continuing to the Karlu Most. 

After old town, I went to National Museum. Since I do not like museum, I just want to have some snap shoots. Reo told me, it's not like a museum telling about the Prague History, but more less 'bout world, etc. It was in New Town and many famous cloth-brands surrounded. Nothing special, not even inside the building.

Last part, here it is, the Castle. Placed in top of a hill. You can see it from Karlu Most. The castle is used for the government offices. It has a big church. This is the only one building that we can get into. Like other churchs, for me they are all the same. Yeah, you know 'bout the catholic church. Go inside and for sure that it will make you scared of the God. That's the reason why they made their churchs like 'megah na azubillah' buildings. Besides churchs, it has also some museums (private museum and opened for publics), shops, cafes, etc.

Anyway, thank you so much Reo and Andreas for the place. I also met some indonesian delegations for ASEAN. Last but not least, Mr. Soejono thanks for the dinner. I will come again someday. 

Next destination, BERLIN!!! Hey Michael, thanks to invite me to join you. You know guys? From Prague to Berlin, I just spent 15 Euros (connected trains). You go to Zittau from Prague (209 Korunas) and take a weekend ticket for 5 people (just 35 Euros, 7 Euros each) travelling around Germany. Voila, I saved 40 Euros (direct train Prague-Berlin=56 Euros).
