Beyond my expectations
KEM CIPRIANO writes:
In a city where the forbidden past of communism still lingers, Prague has everything to offer. And I mean everything! From the non-stop party central for the insomniacs, dancing to the tunes of the '80s, '90s and the present, to the bargain hunters patient enough to dig through treasures from various flea markets, Prague enchants the adventurous, the romantics and the random wandering travelers.

However, in my opinion, Prague brought something else. Disregard the hypnotizing structures of Old Town Square or the overt sexuality in forms of sex shops around the corner. Prague made me discover life beyond the adamant schedule of a working student. It’s not just the mere fact of being in a different country or the history behind everything; it’s making life more valuable, worth exploring.
Beyond the preconceived notion of just another sightseeing, old-buildings tourist spot, Prague defines what an experience should be: an experience better defined by your eyes, your ears, your nose, and your mouth. Words cannot just bring the experience to you. You have to go to the experience. And for this, I can say, Prague went beyond my expectations. Way beyond. On a plane, across the seas.
