Prague is hands-down a tourist paradise. Ever since Korean drama 'Lovers in Prague' was filmed there (don't ask me why I know this), I can bet the capital of Czech Republic saw a major boost in tourists from South Korea. And we really did see many other tourists from that part of the world. 

Because it was my first stop in my month-long itinerary, I was taken aback by how beautiful Eastern European architecture is. Everything to me deserved an "ooooh" and "aaaaah" because the views were simply breathtaking. Charles Bridge, especially, was sooooo pretty at night. It was chilly and the city lights lit up the place in a very romantic way. Then I looked at Daryl and I told him, "damn it wrong person booooo" hahahahaha :')

I've had friends doing their exchange programme in Prague and the hot topic will always be, "BEER IS SO CHEAP". And it truly was. Come on, 2 euros for a large pint? (lemme check if I have a beer belly yet). Cost of living there is also cheaper relative to prices in Western Europe I reckon. And take this from me: they're really not big on service. In fact, when we went to restaurants or cafes or bars... service was practically non-existent. We still had to pay for service charge though, pffft. But I guess you get used to it after awhile because it's the same throughout Eastern Europe (or from my experience at least).

We met Emma and Sarah in our 10-bedroom dorm at the hostel and we spent the day exploring the Old Town together. 

Bakeshop serves really really great pastries (look at those humongous meringues) and it's also highly raved about on TripAdvisor. It's in Old Town so definitely worth a stop if you've got a sweet tooth ;)

AND THIS IS A MUST-HAVE!!!! Oh my god if you don't have this in Prague you haven't really gone there trust me. This trdelník is a cinnamon donut rolled up and filled with ice cream (chocolate or vanilla or mixed). It's not a traditional dessert but the trdelník is. They have a savoury version too (think ham and cheese) DROOOOOLLLLSSSSSSSSSS

The Prague Astronomical Clock Tower has got to be the most overrated attraction ever. Every hour the clock chimes and there's a little (really little) mechanical performance at the top. And all the tourists stand there with their cameras pointing up hoping to snap something. I won't deny its beautiful architecture but I would say avoid the hourly performance hahahaha.

On our first night in Prague, Daryl and I walked into this bar and it had the vibes alright~ I can't even remember the name of it but it was really chill and it just hit the right spots. The street it was on was unusually quiet so you wouldn't know it was a bar unless you walk inside.

We did a pub crawl which ended at the largest club in Prague with five levels - Karlovy Lázne. It was full of drunk people and everyone was spilling drinks everywhere. But the music wasn't too bad (perhaps even better than some clubs in Singapore on certain days hahaha). I'd say its a must-go!!

There were also a lot of street-performers but this guy had us standing there for a good 15 minutes (I also found out later that there are many others who do the same trick as him lol). But much respect to these street performers man really.  

These were found in almost every souvenir shop (not only in Prague) and these tongue-in-cheek wrappings tho.

Made a couple of new friends too, courtesy of Daryl and his Tomorrowland antics ;) It was nice hearing the familiar accent in voices other than Daryl's hahahahaha.

I also went sky-diving!!! We were recommended Sky Centrum by a few friends and we decided to arrange a timing on our last day in Prague. 

The entire experience was exhilarating but I wouldn't say that it was out of this world. Sure I definitely felt the thrill but I think I would've felt more adrenaline if I wasn't hanging on someone else. It didn't feel as thrilling as bungee-jumping or free-falling but still a good experience nonetheless. My hands were freezing up when we first jumped off the plane because it was subzero temperatures. I also finally know what it feels like to jump on (through) fluffy clouds. Basically not as fluffy or cushiony as I'd imagined hahahaha.

We also took the train to Kutna Hora, a quaint little town outside of Prague. It was quiet and there were a lot of churches and museums to visit.

My designated photographer for two weeks ;)

Church of Our Lady

Sedlec Ossuary - the famous Bone Church in Kutna Hora (gave me the heeby jeebies).

Also had one of the best meals ever!!!! But I'll be sure to avoid potato and bread dumplings for a long time...

This is Daryl's face everytime I want to take a picture of us zzzzzz.

This one: Daryl was taking photos of fruits on the plant when the real attraction was behind... #logic

Doesn't it remind you of Hogwarts????

Also, I found my all of my accommodations through Hostel World. But after a month of travelling, this is my advice: find the accommodation on Hostel World because you can read reviews and get specific information about the hostel BUT contact the hostel directly to make reservations. Hostel World charges a deposit and apparently the hostels don't get this money. So you'll definitely save by skipping the third-party service.

I stayed at Hostel Mango (I know right) and it was such a good place! We were in a 10-bedroom dorm but the bed was sooooo comfortable and it had all the amenities like a bedside table and power-points for every bed (those are the most important things imo). It was also right at Charles Bridge so we could get to Old Town just by walking across it. The only bad point was that every room had a bathroom. So if we've checked out and spent the day outside before coming back to get our bags, we couldn't have a shower because there was no communal-communal bathroom. Other than that, everything was more or less perfect. The receptionists were really helpful and they recommended place that were pretty on-point ;)
