Na shledanou Prague, thanks for an unbelievable time. I’ll be back soon.

Friday night, stayed out all night and watched the sunrise on the Charles Bridge at 5 AM with 25 of my friends. It was an incredibly beautiful sight and moment.
What I’ll take from Prague: A scar on my chin, a greater appreciation for KFC, some serious beer snobbery, a quieter speaking voice in public (get excited!), a new best friend, an understanding of American stereotypes, and a big bottle of becherovka
What I won’t miss about Prague: No free tap water, unfriendly faces, always being classified as an outsider
What I will miss about Prague: Just about everything else.
Q & A
Hey! I found your blog through another Prague blog. I was just wondering which program you went to Prague with. I studied abroad in Prague in 2010 through USAC so naturally, I'm just curious! Enjoy it while it lasts darling! My friends and I miss it literally every day since we left!I’m here with CIEE, my semester just ended and I’m leaving in two days … SO upset.

Q & A
Hey, thank you so much! I responded to your message on my personal tumblr, but wanted I to ask you more about Prague and wasn't positive you would see it, so I thought I would ask you here.How much longer will you be there for? What so far has been your favorite part about the city?
You’re so welcome! Sadly, today marks the beginning of my last week in Prague. I don’t want to leave!!!
My favorite part of Prague … is really hard to think of. I love how everywhere you look is incredibly beautiful. I love sitting by the river, or boating on the river. The parks are awesome, especially the beer gardens. Haha sorry for being so gushy, but seriously this is my favorite city in the world easily, and most of my friends that have visited here have fallen in love with it too.
Saw Diplo last night at Lucerna. It rocked. I think every American student in Prague was there.
