I’ve just returned from a wonderful trip to Prague this past weekend. My French companions and I filled our 2 days in the Czech Republic with taking a “free city tour” in which you simply tip the tour guide at the end, a museum about communism in the Czech Republic (in an ironic side note, the museum was located in between what may be the two greatest symbols of capitalism, McDonalds and a Casino), touring Prague Castle and visiting other major sites of the city. We took what has become my favorite way of travelling, a bus company named PolskiBus and the trip is about 5 hours from Wrocłow.

This is coming a week after I arrived home from my Budapest trip, which I have concluded is my favorite city in Europe I have visited thus far. In Budapest, we visited the castle, the parliament building, the national museum (which was hosting the World Press Photo for 2011), the Jewish quarter, one of Budapest's famous thermal spas, and some fantastic restaurants. All in all, two great weekends with some more excitement planned for the future including a trip to Gdansk (Danzig) next weekend and a trip to Vienna and Bratislava during the first weekend in December to see Vienna’s famous winter market square. I’m collecting refrigerator magnets from the cities that I visit and the refrigerator in my dorm room has slowly gotten more and more decorations. So far I’ve been to Krakow, Warsaw, Auschwitz (no magnate here), Prague, and Budapest and I’m looking forward to more cities to come.
