It's been some time since i last posted up holiday photos, so since today was my only free day, i decided to post up photos of beautiful prague. Prague is the capital city of the Czech Republic and it is a very very beautiful place. Most of the nicer photos came from there. It was the first time i stepped into eastern europe, the other side of the Iron Curtain.

It was rather unfortunate that i also had the worst time of my holiday there as i fell very sick and i couldn't really see many places as i stayed in the hotel. I realised how important travel insurance is as the doctor's bill amounted to $600!!!! The doctor was really nice though, rushing all the way to the hotel room. I was really so so so sad that i took so few photos there and missed out on everything. OKAY, enough of whining.

Anyway, to all my friends who received back their O level results today, whether rain or shine, i hope these photos can cheer you up if you're feeling down after receiving your results. Remember! Results do not prove a man's worth, but a man's worth is proven by his life. Wise words of jt. :P



PRAGUE THROUGH MY EYES


Silhouette of Prage Castle at sunrise.


Some open space in that area.


The palace guards on duty.


The two giant statues guard the entrance to the magnificent palace.


The sun rises up into the sky to takes its place, shining upon the city of Prague.


There were many fire engines there, somehow., for some unknown reason.


The trio.


Prague's well-known for its cobbled streets. Beautiful!


The palace is so long that the ministers had to get around using motorised mini vehicles at one point of time.


Front view of Prague Castle Cathedral.


Beautiful windows and stained glass windows inside the cathedral.


Interior of the cathedral.


The cathedral's exterior is literally golden under sunlight.


I like this tree a lot! It's just there by itself.


A view of a part of the city of Prague.


This place feels so comforting and nice to sit and ponder about life.


They have really nice buildings there! Residential or not.


Charles' Bridge! This bridge is really really very nice, beautiful and romantic!



Mom and dad, happy together!


One of the many random statues there that has some history behind them.


Mom, sister and I. I was feeling very uneasy and sick since then.


Another bridge as seen from Charle's bridge.


Lovely buildings by the banks of the river.


On the other side of the bank! Near the city centre.


Prague is famous for its tall buildings and it's narrow, cobbled streets.


Nearing the city centre (and also a pickpocket's paradise).


Prague's famous astronimical clock! It was made very very long ago.



And that's all i have for Prague. I didn't really go anywhere except for the castle and the city area, no thanks to my annoying stomach. Hoped you enjoyed the photos. Must really thank God for the good lighting during sunrise in the morning.
