Walking in Praha (Prague), Czech Republic

I had a wonderful moment in Praha or Prague from 24 - 29th June 2012 .. I went there for work, of course.. couldn't afford to go there myself .. luckily it was summer, so longer day time.. my meeting start about 9am and ends about 6pm.. so I took one of the day to walk in the morning (like 5am) to see the sun rise .. and few days after 7pm to explore the city at night..

Prague for me is really a great place to visit.. it's beautiful and full of history..

I'm a little lazy to write at the moment.. so I'm just gonna copy and paste some writeup i made for a forum regarding Prague.. it's in Malay though..

--------------------------------------------

Perjalanan saya adalah dari Kuala Lumpur -> Frankfurt -> Prague..  sesampai di Prague, saya dah dipesan, tak yah tukar duit, just withdraw dari ATM jek.. jadi sebelum pegi tu, jgn lupa aktifkan kad ATM untuk pengeluaran di luar negara.. sampai sana tetiba x leh kuar, x ke naya.. hahahaha ..

so dari airport, sila ambik teksi yang ada kat situ jek.. jgn ambik teksi di luar sbb kat Prague nih pesanan orang katanya diorang suka amik kesempatan.. dalam dok berjaga tu, kena jugak.. patutnya tambang teksi kena 660Czk (kat resit), tapi dia mintak 700Czk..  pikir2 balik, tak pe la.. kasik tips .. kiranya dalam RM110 total dari airport ke Old Town Prague .. huh, mahai jugak rupanya .. hahahahaa

untuk yang pergi sendiri, boleh ambik train rasanya dari airport, tapi saya nih sbb pi company tanggung, naik jek la teksi..

Saya dok di Old Town Prague.. Prague terbahagi kepada 2 bahagian, old town dan new town .. kalau pi holiday sendiri, better dok old town sbb semua attraction ada kat sini.. duduk hostel jek kalau pi backpacking.. ada la sembang2 yg beberapa backpakers, diorang duduk Ritchie's Hostel .. ok kata diorang hostel nih.. so kalau nak pi, boleh la google2 tengok hostel nih .. bebetui terletak di center of attraction ..

So sebelum saya start bekerja esoknya, saya ambik kesempatan untuk berjalan2 .. saya agak aktif dalam Couchsurfing, so saya post kat website tu 2-3 hari sebelum sampaitanya sapa nak teman saya jalan2 .. so dapat la 2 orang (1 dari India dan 1 dari Aussie) teman saya jalan2 hari tu .. diorang pun tourist la jugak, hardcore backpackers, so diorang ajar saya ambik Free Tour.. rupanya banyak negara2 kat Europe nih yang boleh ambik Free Tour .. tak de la free sangat pun, but berbaloi.. kiranya macam nih, diorang yg buat kerja nih based on tips.. jadi kalau puas hati kita bagi tips.. kalau x puas hati, senyap2 hilangkan diri masa tour tu .. so diorang yg kerja nih akan buat bebetui.. and trust me, they are good sbb diorang bekerja utk tips.. tak de la seperti tourguide yg cakap pun x de tone tapi gaji lumayan ye dak.. hahahaha .. mmg worth it ambik free tour, i would highly recommend ..

mana nak dapatkan tour guide free nih? - jawapannya di Old Town Square, berdepan dengan the famous astronomy clock..

 

This is Keith.. he provide a free tour service around Prague.. yup, you read it right, it's a free tour.. but you might be thinking, well, nothing is free in this world anymore, how he make a living .. the answer is, people like Keith are working for tips.. if you like his service, you tip him.. else, you can quietly release yourself from the group in the middle of the tour.. that's how it works.. i like that idea, because Keith is really good.. he really work hard for the tip and you'll feel that he's worth every penny.. a couple i met during this tour told me that previous day, they took a trip with a travel agency and the tour guide sucks.. and they paid double of what they paid Keith for his tips.. so guys, if you ever in Prague, look for Keith and his green umbrella in front of the famous clock.. his schedule is 10.30am for the town tour, and 1.30 pm for the castle tour..
