Praha!

So I finally made some friends and went with them to Prague for the weekend! We left Friday night at around 11 pm. We were supposed to leave a bit earlier (like at 10 pm) but they were late and stuff. It sucked since it was so cold outside but oh well. So the bus ride was about 7 hrs. since it made stops in Berlin and Dresden, and we arrived in Prague at about 5 in the morning.

The first day we spent mostly wandering around and seeing the sights, checking out museums and places and whatnots. And, that's also what we did the next day. On the first night we found a place to get Czech food (which is not surprisingly a lot like German food,) and on the second night we ended up eating Chinese. And a note, Chinese restaurants seem to be the same everywhere! Seriously...

As for the hostel, what an enormous step outside my comfort zone... so we booked a 6-bed room, since we had 6 people. Makes sense? Obviously not... So turns out it was a 6-bunkbed mixed room. So we had to share the room with 6 other guys and girls. Some notable members were two girls from UCLA and a Spanish guy with a really high pitched voice. Anyway, I was just glad that at least the showers were partitioned off.

We ended the trip by hanging out in the commons area of the hostel we stayed at until it was time to go to our bus (which was around 12 am.)

Ok, picture time! That's what you really want, isn't it? Here you go:
Weekend in Praha

And this concludes my thoughts on my Prague trip, or maybe I'll post more pictures as they become available to me, who knows...

My Last Days in Stuttgart

So right now I've been in Magdeburg for about two weeks, but now I'm going to talk about my last week at Stuttgart.

So for my last week in Stuttgart, I didn't really go to language class and took that opportunity to visit all my favorite spots on last time and to make some stops and the places I hadn't visited yet. I feel that my adventures will be best told through yet another photo album:
Last Days in Stuttgart

So yeah as you can see I started out with the art museums then worked my way around to the various places. Overall I feel I had a good last week.
