- "I've been to Prague. It's a beautiful place, just amazing." - a typical tourist.
We Praguians do not say we are from the Czech Republic. We say we come from Prague.
As was once said, Prague is a great city whose glory will touch the stars.
Prague or "Praha" [czech] is a city of all possible surprises. Even to those who believe that there is still no electricity in the Czech Republic, that we each have a cow in our kitchen to provide milk, and that our men hunt for food outside with sticks... Especially to those, and you know which countries you are from, Prague comes as a big surprise.
As my home city, I think Prague is amazing. It is rich in culture, it is romantic, exciting, mysterious, young and old, full of life and mainly it is unique.
Like many cities, it represents something different. Like London represents ultra-cool-fashion-central slash amazing night life, great food, cosmopolitan multicultural heaven --- and Paris stands for cliched romance, stunning architecture, artistic expression and that elegant cool, well Prague stands for none of what I just said, because it is completely unique.
Each city represents something to someone. There are no two same places in the world, which is what makes travelling so exciting.
So from now on, my little world travel guide will take you on a trip through Prague... and then through the all-now-developed nation of Czech Republic.
Enjoy ;)
