it is a strange town indeed, you would love I think. The art galleries I visited there had transformed me in such a massive way, also it was amazing seeing this standard of living that I have seen only in historical contexts to still thrive and continue to develop in a city that is alive today and thriving it seems. Also, everything is surprisingly cheap, compared to other developed countries of course. I did notice a death stare from people when I asked they accept credit cards, and I began wondering if there is a link between the well being of the country and their rejection of credit cards.
I also had this vibe that everyone was in on something, but no one wanted to say what it was. Like Stepford Wives. But it is very magical and it left me wanting other places on earth to be better. I hope you'll get to visit it and share pictures from there. :]
ALSO. they have THE BEST Jesus Christ statue in all of Europe, he is inside the gothic cathedral inside the castle.
Wow, what you describe makes me even more want to go there. :D For me Prague is a literary city. City of Fiction. Like Saint Petersburg in Russia, these are the two cities that inspire writers to translate them into some imaginary language. More imagination than reality. You experience them through the books.
