When you first arrive in the Czech Republic, it can seem as though the only non-meat options available to you are cheese, pickled cheese, and fried cheese. If you’re vegan, then the choices are even more limited – bread, potatoes and cabbage, with perhaps some rice every now and then. While traditional Czech cuisine does … More Vegetarian and Vegan Prague
They say a picture speaks 1000 words. So, here are a whole ton of words for you, in photo form. Sometimes it’s hard to really explain what it’s like living in Prague from day to day, so I’m hoping that these pictures will shed light on the whole experience a little more…
Firstly, I realise that I hardly ever actually write about Prague. Secondly, I’ve been here for over a year already (how did that happen?) and have managed to discover a lot of great places to eat and drink (even if hard liquour is currently banned… grr!). I thought I’d share with you some of my … More Prague’s Interesting, Cheap and Wonderful Restaurants
Firstly, I must apologise for the lack of recent updates! I’ve been busy, I’ve been forgetful, and I haven’t really known what to write about. While life is certainly different here than back in the U.K., Japan was so different that I was never short of topics. Here, life plods along, I teach and hang … More Where to find great beer in Prague
It’s the most wonderful time of the year… apparently. Once again, a year has managed to sneak past almost unnoticed. Trees bloomed and blossomed and shed their dead leaves in the blink of an eye, and we stand here again in the frost, waiting to spend our hard-earned money on presents that nobody will really … More A Czech Christmas (aka Carp and Devils)
As you know, I’m not in Japan anymore. It’s sad. Sometimes I really, really miss being there so much that I want to cry, and other times I think how glad I am to be away. Well, here I am in Prague, and while we all might like to pretend we don’t compare our hot … More Prague vs Hamamatsu, Japan – Round 1
If you want a pretty little place to hang out away from the throngs of tourists, I’ve found one. Near Malostranská metro station, through a little gate in the wall, lies the Senate – and its pretty garden. We were lucky enough to discover this place when a Czech friend of mine (who is learning … More Prague: The Senate’s Secret Garden
A couple of weeks ago, we took the Metro (red line) to Vysehrad and walked around the old castle walls looking at Prague from every side. The sky was a perfect blue, with photogenic clusters of clouds reflecting the sunlight and giving the photos a dreamlike quality. Behold, the city in which I now live: … More Prague: Views from Vyšehrad
Well, here I am, nearly a week after the TEFL Worldwide course finished, and I’m feeling pretty exhausted. It was intense, challenging, and a lot of fun – and definitely not made any easier by my quest to find jobs and an apartment within the first two weeks of my being in Prague. After lots … More Prague: After TEFL – Damage Report
Well, I’ve finally found time to update the blog, and it relates to the one time (two weeks ago) that I actually spent a day just walking around the city and exploring. The morning started with a hunt for a washing machine, as the one in our rented apartment had decided to break and we … More Prague: Walking around Prague – Loreta, Černín Palace and wonderful views
