Saturday morning
St. Vitus Cathedral at 10 am on Saturday. A lot of tourists, mostly Italians. The entry fee is 100 Kc (Czech crowns; that is about 3.50 Euro). But it is going to be entirely free from next week. And starting tomorrow Prague castle's gardens are being opened.
Like this one for example:
Well, I have to add one more. At Ujezd, just under the Petrin hill.

Park at Charles square
Park at Charles square. It isn't so obvious at the first sight but Charles square is the biggest square in the Czech Republic (thus being bigger than Wenceslas square). And it's basicaly a big park in the centre of Prague :)

At Dejvice
View from our school to the chemist's school :)
By the way, we plant out almost thousand trees during this weekend at Sumava - that's in the southern part of Czech Republic and one of the last few places with snow. (again on Flickr)

Andel
Andel is the new center of Prague. It's close to everything, there are trams to almost anyplace in Prague and there's a metro station. And there's a big shopping center, two multicinemas and much much more (including small Prague Apple store :).
Andel is angel in English and it got its name after a sculpture of angel which was there many years ago.

Husova street
Husova street at Old Town.
I once ordered a dvd at a webshop and chose option "pick up at our store at Husova street". I went there the second day, walk through the street several times unable to find the store. Well, they have Husova street in Brno, the second biggest city in the Czech republic, about 200 km from Prague, too :) Friend of my father's friend had to go, pick it up and a month later gave me the dvd on her way to Prague.

Motocycle show
From Motorcycle show that ended today at Vystaviste fairground at Holesovice. There were so many people. They say there were over 20.000 of them on Saturday. I bet on the same number today. It was sunny and there's Matejska pout amusement park in the fairground, too. This makes it the perfect place to spend Sunday :)
More photos from the motorcycle show at Flickr.
And by the way. You may know Eurovision song contest. Czech Republic joined it for the first time this year and the winer from our national round is band "Kabat" with song "Mala dama". They are very popular in Czech Republic and it was no surprise they won in the text message voting. You can see them on YouTube.

Books in library
This describes the photo from wednesday. It's a pillar made of books (most of them are the political books from the communist era, I think). And it has mirrors inside: one at the top, one on the bottom. So when you look inside it seems to be infinite deep. It is strange when you look there for the first time. People are usually scared to bend over because they don't want to fall :) But when you bend over enough, you'll see yourself in the mirror.

At school
This is at one of our school's buildings. This is kind of hidden place at the top floor in the section that is only partly used by MBA students. Great if you don't want to be bothered by anybody. I had another even more abandoned place in our second building at Karlovo square. In the tower with big window you could sit in :)

McDonald at Na Prikope street
I worked in McDonald many many years ago :) Not here. This McDonald is really a smaller one. But the only one in the center of Prague where you can sit outside.

Broadway at Na Prikope street
There used to be a cinema. One with the best sound in those days. There's a Broadway theatre now. And also a language school. The entry is just under the "Divadlo" sign (which means "theatre"). I attend german class here.
This all is on Na Prikope street. One of the most expensive streets in Prague. It leads to Wenceslas square.
