Day 10: Goodbye Munich, Hello Prague!!

Woke up early in the morning so that we could set off for our 5 hour drive to Prague..
Edgar's room... the 4 of us Singaporean + Edgar + Alvis managed to squeeze into this room.. the 4 of us slept on the floor while Edgar and ALvis share the bed...

The common kitchen.. which is shared by 2 other ppl in separate room..

The French restaurant which Edgar is working in at nite.. its just below his apartment.. In Sunday almost every shop in Munich is closed.. even supermarkets..

Our luggages..

We drove to the Munich market to get some breakfast.. haha but we were tempted by the sight of pork knuckles... n its only 3+ Euro!!.. ahh must eat again.. wah i will die young if i live here.. pork knuckles n beer everyday..




We even shot a video of us eating the pork knuckle..its so crunchy that u could hear the crunch.. Videos could be found in the sidebar of this blog...
The layer of fat in the skin.. bo chap!! just eat!!

No more liao..


We tallied up the number of pork knuckles we ate during the few days we r in Munich.. i topped the list with 3 and a half pork knuckles!! .. the half is becos i m sharing the pork knuckle with SC on the drive to prague from munich..

German - Czech checkpoint...


The cars in front of us were allowed to pass thru very quickly i tink becos of Czech citizens or regular visitors.. but ours took a long time to process.. the Czech immigration officer seem to have never seen a Singaporean passport.. finally after 15min or so.. our passport were stamped n we were allowed thru..

Money changers (very high commission charged!!) but bo bian.. we have to buy a Czech highway sticker thingy to paste on our windscreen..

Toilets at the checkpoint.. 0.30 Euro which is abt 60 cents Sing for peeing!! luckily one of the door is unlocked.. so we got in to settle our business haha


Prague (Praha in Czech) is divided into 10 or more districts.. Central Praha is located in Prague 1.. but becos its divided into so many zones, driving is super difficult there.. lots of one way street, so once we took a wrong turn, thats it.. have to find another way back cos we cant U-turn.. Czech road signs made our journey worst.. after driving for an hour or so in Prague n not getting to Prague 1 which is where we wanna go, we stopped by a petrol station to buy a Prague Map n asked for directions.. finally after another 20 min drive we were able to reach it.. we found some secluded place to illegal park our car.. n we walked to the city centre..

Along the Vltava river, we walked to Stare Mesto, the old town..



Nice sights.. Prague castle in the background..


Birds..

Crystals and Dolls that could be stacked together.. - Czech speciality goods..


This is nice.. the sunset with airplanes flying off, creating white streams..

SC with the Czech tram

Market place in Stare Mesto


We walked around town for a bit.. taking in the sights of Prague.. we passed by this long limoseuine.. 200 Girls per nite!! i tink this car is some advertisement for some cabaret show in Prague..


We went around looking for cheap places to eat in for dinner... "Lived like a King in Prague" ?!?!? BULLSHIT!! the prices r so damn high in the city.. maybe its too commercialised by all the tourism around..
Finally we settled at this restaurant.. pretty reasonable prices..


i tried the Old Czech Special.. supposedly Czech food.. abt 6 Singapore dollars... it was TERRIBLE.. the worst food i had so far in my tour.. the meat wasnt very good.. the rice dumplings tasted much worse .. little or no taste at all..



SC ordered the ostrich meat with bread toasts.. altho rather small serving.. but it was SUPERB!! abt 7+ Sing dollars..


We ordered some soup as well..


The restaurant..

haha look at the dog on the wall.. it seems to have a fifth leg..

the toilets in this restaurant is pretty confusing.. how m i supposed to tell which one is for male or female..

A closer look at the doors..

The left one is for guys n the right one is for gals.. Dom suggested that if u remove the 2 "wings" (which r the one with jagged edges) for the symbol on the door, u will see smt which looks very familiar to the male organ.. haha.. likewise, for the symbol on the right door.. haha
The atmosphere in the restaurant with its low lighting.. makes it rather nice to take some photos.. SC experimenting with the drug addict look in Black n White.. no no he isnt smoking.. he just rolled up some toothpicks..

Our Clown n Bard hostel in Prague 3 district..
haha this look like a concentration camp... haha there r even beds in the attic up there..



yah thats all for today!!
