Prague, Czech Republic

To not fall in love with Prague would have been an effort. What’s not to like? The Czech Republic is the home of Kafka and Kundera, beer and incredible architecture, and an astonishing arts scene - can anyone say Bohemia?

Prague was fortunate enough to escape the bombs of the past world wars, and hence has many old buildings that are very well preserved, and still stand with their original structure. This of course means that Prague has some of the most beautiful and historical churches in all of Europe. However, in an entertaining twist of fate Prague’s atheist population accounts for something like 70% of the people in Prague.

Prague on its own was incredible – it made my list of cities I would love to live in – but it was made even better because I got a chance to catch up with HD and hang out with her for a few days. She and her roommates are crazy. Some of the most absurd conversations had on this trip were lived out sitting around the table in her apartment. I definitely can’t print the entire conversation here, but if you want hysterical, bring up the topic of tampons around HD and her roommates. After that, just sit back and watch the madness unfold.

Thanks to: HD, you’re a superstar, and your roommates are very cool too, thanks for hosting me. I really think y’all have a great expat life going on.
