More and more people are starting to leave now. It's pretty depressing. Though this may sound horrible, I honestly didn't care too much when people from home left because I know I'll see them again in a few short months. However, when people from other countries and stuff start parting, it's pretty sad. I mean, yeah, there is always the internet and stuff (thank goodness for internet, haha) but it will be more difficult to meet again, face to face.
Oh, and about Prague. On the second day (Saturday), the weather was supposed to be stormy and horrible, but we were really lucky and it was actually really sunny and beautiful. Despite the fact that I think there are more tourists than Czechs in Prague, it was still a wonderful experience. The city was absolutely gorgeous. The food was also excellent. Oh, and the hostel we stayed at was awesome. We just got a private room and there was a loft with a bed and then a bed in the lower part. The room was also quite large. Overall, everything was great, especially for the price that we paid.
I'm too lazy to write a wall of text so I'm just going to put in pictures now.

the lemon lychee thing looks weird... did you try it?
your pictures are so pretty *_* the food looks interesting. is that beer in the 2nd food picture? XD
Yeah, it looks pretty sketchy... and no, I didn't. However, I found it today in Vienna so I might buy it hehe.
Thank you! The food was really delicious. And yeah, it is haha. Beer is sadly cheaper than water. Plus that one is famous in the Czech Republic (Pilsner Urquell, if anyone is curious).
Did you buy the lemon lychee?? It sounds like it miiiight be okay... iunno. And the bottle shapes are funky too, haha.
I never know what to make of "dumplings" in a Western context.
The street. The pigeons. The cathedral. The clock. OH my GOD the clock. The colors. The river. The sky. My gosh, it's beautiful.
(are those false fronts? it's like the old American West, but so much awesomer, and rainbowed. why oh why is it always cathedrals that are made to be so beautiful... and not ham?)
I did! It was surprisingly good... it seriously just tasted like lemonade and lychee. I thought it would be really artificial and nasty, but it wasn't. Sigh. Haha, apparently dumplings = bread blobs. They're good though, so I'm not complaining.
Yeah, Prague is ridiculously beautiful. Walking around there is like a dream. Also, all the awesomeness is just super-concentrated so you get a sensory overload (which is a good thing xD).
I don't think so since that part of the city is right by where the castle complex is, so I presume some pretty rich people lived (still live?) there.
