What to say about old Prague that hasn't been said before? That's a tough one. Basically its a city that is so achingly beautiful that it makes your head spin. Architecture, art, history, culture; you name it, you got it. The other part of Prague which should be mentioned is its' gong-show nightlife. Now being a professional educator, I have precious little to say about that. Travel writing is definitely not my forte, so I will leave it at this... you should probably go to Prague before you die.
Book-vortex at the Prague library
Center of 'New Prague'. That domed building in the background is the Czech National Gallery where a series of students kept burning themselves alive to protest the communist government back in the day.
This giant statue of the Virgin Mary apparently ripped a thief's arm off for trying to steal her gold chain!
And what did the church do with the bloody, severed limb once the Madonna had finally calmed down and dropped in on the floor you ask? Why they did what any rational group of individuals would do!!! They had it embalmed, ran a chain through it and hung it on the wall as a warning to any other would-be chain-snatchas!

ReplyDeletei feel like i am at the centre of a vortex of literature every day of my life!
I really like the book vortex picture. How is the teaching going? I haven't written about it much either, as it seems a bit uninteresting for others to read...
