5 Things I Won't Miss About Prague

5) The Crowds at the Astronomical Clock - Don't get me wrong, the clock in Old Town Square is very nice. If you go into the tower you get a wonderful view of the city. Every hour the clock does a little "performance" when little models of Christ and the 12 apostles come outside the clock and then circle back in. It's cute, but not all that impressive. Yet every time I've been out to Old Town Square, there is always a huge crowd of people that can start 30 minutes before the hour. It makes getting to destinations like lunch or the Easter Markets difficult.

4) The Poodles in our Hostel - There are some good dogs in our hostel. The poodles are not in that category. They yap very shrilly and like to do so at 6:30 in the morning. Other resentment stems from the workers at the front desk, who call the dogs and whistle at them when the dogs are four feet away and refuse to move.

3) Having to Continuously Watch the Sidewalk - On the subject of dogs, the streets and sidewalks of Prague tend to have reminders that dogs walk them as well as their owners. We always have to be aware of where we are stepping in order not to land in "good luck" as it's come to be called.

2) A Certain Class I Have on Wednesday Afternoons - I don't want to go into too much detail, but I will be super glad when it is over.

1) The Dang Curtains in the Room - There is a particular curtain in our hostel room that does not like to move. In order to close the curtains at night, you have to grab the whole thing and jerk forcefully. There is always a feeling that it is going to be ripped off the runner and that I'm going to end up with 2 meters of fabric in my hands. Julie will attest to this annoyance as well.


There. Tune in next time for things I will miss about Prague.
