Slices of Life

Today was my first exploration into the city of Prague. Here are a few impressions that stood out to me.

*Prague is an incredibly homogenous society. And yet, not a single person stared at me.

*Czechs, on average, are larger than me. Thus, door knobs were often too high; doors too heavy.

*Christmas markets are lovely outdoor activities. Yes, they sell cheesy gifts that I would never buy but they also have festive decorations and serve hot wine and roasted chestnuts (actual roasted chestnuts!)

*People of Prague believe that beer helps with digestion. I have no scientific evidence to prove or disprove this, so in the interim I had my fair share of samplings over the week.

*Public transport system is somewhat baffling to me. From what I can tell, it is mainly based on the honor system.

*Pickled camembert cheese is considered pub grub. Seriously.
