Prague is an amazing city, it has great beer, amazing food, and a beautiful castle. I stayed in what was one of neatest hostels I've ever stayed in. With lots of great activities including baking some traditional cookies in the evening, and I love eating free cookies! I took the usual free walking tour, and then from there went for lunch at a traditional restaurant with some new friends. After eating the fresh homemade cookies I met another Canadian and we went to go explore Prague at night and wandered up to the castle and back.
As some of my close friends weren't in town I decided I would keep the Prague visit short and went on to Brno to visit friends there :)
Brno was very foggy, although I did find a great Christmas tradition there! I would like to encourage other places to start the same tradition. In the Czech Republic you will often find large pools of water set up around Christmas. In these pools will be tones of large carp because Czech people like to have "fresh" carp soup for Christmas. The trick is that if you want really fresh soup you should keep the fish in your bathtub and feed it each day! (I'm serious: http://www.myczechrepublic.com/czech_culture/czech_holidays/christmas.html )
After a great night out I was off to the next country: Hungary!
