When in Prague

I've been to Prague twice and I'm honestly not planning to go back. However, there are a couple of pretty good reasons to go:

- Really, really good, cheap beer
- The Museum of Communism
- The Kampa Museum

I like beer. And I like cheap things :) Actually, beer is cheaper than water. Don't get me wrong everything is cheap, but sitting at a restaurant and looking at the menu you can't help but notice the difference. You go "wow! Look how cheap the food is! Wow! Look how cheap the beer is! Huh... Water is sort of pricey..." But who really needs water when they can drink beer, right?

The oddest and most surprisingly pleasant thing about Prague must be the Museum of Communism. First of all the poster shows an evil Babushka with fangs. Then, when you enter the museum, you wonder if maybe you are lost. You walk up some very impressive stairs, you read signs guiding you towards a casino, then you turn left and enter an apartment. The Museum of Communism is pretty much a collection of Communist artifacts. A HUGE collection in a fairly small apartment. It's not very informative, but if you like looking at collections of old crap (one of my favourite activities, haha) you should check it out.

However, if you're more of an art museum kind of person I would recommend going to Kampa. It's placed on the left side of the river in a park and there's this big, crooked chair in the river. The art is modern and I especially enjoyed the permanent photo exhibition.

But when all this is said, I (personally) am still not completely mad about Prague. Why? you may ask... Well, Prague is packed with tourists. And I'm under the impression that the locals are somewhat tired of strangers demanding entertainment. Or maybe they just don't like Danes :)
Anyways, if you want to go to Eastern Europe but don't want the tourist hell, maybe you should go Warsaw or Budapest? But if you DO go to Prague, go see the castle, because if you don't people will tell you that you missed out.

I know this has turned out to be sort of a negative blog post, but I really didn't mean for it to be. It's just that I don't quite get the hype... Don't get me wrong, I will never forget the time in Prague when I accidentally went to a lesbian bar, but since I'm not planning on repeating that, I don't really feel like going back over and over and over again.

If you go, I'm sure you'll have a great time! I mean, that's what holidays are all about :)
