In a rare attempt to be concise, I’m going to describe my January trip to the Czech Republic, Austria, and Slovakia in 250 words or less. Go!
PRAHA
- Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
- Lots of tasty ethnic food… welcome change from just Italian!
- I would like to own a castle, after seeing the one in Prague.
- The “largest club in central Europe” is about as fun as a middle school dance.
- Very interesting differences between Old Town and New Town… my vote is for OT.
- 4-start hotel for 17 euro a night per person. Enough said.
WIEN
- Best. pastries. ever.
- It’s not a true start to the morning unless you sprint madly to the tram, miss it by .05 seconds, and invariably almost get killed in the process.
- Fon (with the two dots on the o) is the name for hairdryer in German.
- The Hapsburgs didn’t mess around.
- State Hall has floor to ceiling libraries, aka my childhood dream come true
BRATISLAVA
- Cheap, cheap, cheap, ridiculously cheap.
- Historic center = really pretty. New construction (i.e. UFO restaurant) = not so much.
- If you’re really stealthy, you can sneak into a different movie than the one you paid for.
- Their castle looks brand new. Like, built post housing bubble burst new.
- Deep fried turkey is as delicious as it is likely to give you cardiac trouble later on in life.
WC: 221.
