Cold week-end. Prague (Praha) is a very touristic place, with a really nice old city, and some less nice things like abandonned buildings and tagged buildings as soon as you leave the center. There are a lot of small and medium sized shops with overpriced typical items. What's impressive is there is very little to remind you it was a communist country. The first thing you look at is the cars, and no, no old car, recents german, french and japanese cars. I suspect we should go in the country to see some relics. There sell some chapkas with the red star, or some watches with Lenin or Stalin, but it's lost among the others thing in the tourist-gogo shops.

The tramway works like a charm and allows you to go in almost all interesting places of this city. There are still some subway stations closed after the last flood, but still, with only three lines, the tramway is more useful. The city is not very big for it's 1 million of inhabitants. I guess with a bike it could be quite enjoyable to make some tours in spring or summer, bu I didn't see any one over those two days.

All in all it's been a very short period over there, and apart the touristic place, I haven't really seen anything. Perhaps the countryside is really poor, but looking at Prague it's really not the given impression. And this is the disappointing part, everything in Pragues remind you that you're still in Europe (and soon perhaps in the European Union), and there is no exotism to go there...
