Travel Journal: Prague

18 Sep

Right now I am sitting in MacDonald, having the Mac Chicken meal before taking the night train to Frankfurt. The lady in the train station is helpful, speaks good English. The young boy in MacDonald is also very helpful, also speaks perfect English. I guess not all Czech are like the shitty people we met over the past two days. Just we shouldn't have expected people to speak our language. They don't need to be.

This MacDonald is not very far away from the train station, 400m away. Luckily I am carrying the luggage, otherwise it will be damn heavy to walk to here with a backpack. Looking out from the window, here is one of the busiest area in Prague, the New Quarter. Many travellers just like us, dragging the luggage, holding the guide book, somewhat look confused. Feel touched, can't believe that I really make it to travel to Europe on my own, travelled many countries, experienced many different things, have so many touching moments, meet many nice people who are willing to help you when you get lost. Yeah, getting lost, this is the most frequent thing happening daily. No matter you speak the local language or not, you just need to find the way out. I don't feel frustrated, instead, sometimes getting lost is good to wonder around, to experiment things which might not happen on the normal journey. I am really glad that I could use English to communicate to people, to be able to understand so many things which are not written in Chinese.

Going to leave Prague, 有點不捨, but don't know what reason. The city is beautiful, especially the river come across the Charles Bridge. In the night time when there's water reflection on the river, along with the church, the palace, all the buildings around, it's indeed pretty, which is not experienced in any other cities I travelled so far. In particular the river is so wide, like the ocean. That will be even nice to come here in the winter time, to feel the "white" miracle.

Another one and half hour I will be on the train to go to Frankfurt. My ticket is only the plain seating one, doesn't include any sleeping car or couchette, and I can't upgrade it. Guess my face will look pretty shitty tomorrow when I arrive Frankfurt.

Need to get ready now, 4 days later I will be in Milan taking a short break, and finally do some really clothing shopping ^^
