she is like the weather

i really enjoy living in the 21st century. i am sitting on the bus back to vienna and this bus has a wifi-zone. for me eurolines was the cheapest, easiest, most comfortable and as you now see most modern way to travel.

i do not understand how one cannot travel alone. it is such a fulfilling experience. this bus drive makes me want to go to the states, buy a greyhound ticket and travel across the whole country. of course, it is also quite nice to have a companion but nothing compares to travelling on your own. and you will always meet people while you are on the road. travelling alone does not necessarily mean you will feel lonely. however, being in a relationship makes things more complicated but this should not stop you.

most days in prague were cloudy and sometimes even rainy. i guess the best spring travel season for praha is may. it was sunny and warm when i boarded the bus...

i would have liked to stay longer in the czech republic. i cannot not love prague. or maybe i would be happy going somewhere else now besides my home country. i feel more myself while travelling than in real life.
the whole point of this post is probably to show you that i really appreciate my modern life. most essential travel equipment: my iphone, my ipod, something to read.

it is not going back to austria that i dread but going back to reality. tomorrow will be easy going: shopping at h&m (fashion against aids collection will launch), maybe eating ice cream in the 1st district, checking out the tommy hilfiger event. but after that it is work, work, probably surf worldcup on sunday, preparing a stupid presentation, reading a scholarly book and writing a book review (this is something i render completely unnecessary). at least i will be occupied and i will not have time to think about stupid things. oh, and i want to get a small table, two chairs and a vase for my balcony to cherish my favorite seasons: spring and summer!

i hope to be able to take some pictures tomorrow evening. and the new glossybox is also almost on the way to my doorstep.

prague days are over

i am leaving tomorrow. today i was strolling the city one last time taking everything in... the streets, the flowers, the churches, the cafés, the architecture, the people. i do not know why i get all sentimental when it comes to leaving foreign places.

letná and vltava river.

in prague there is something beautiful around every corner.

prague is said to be the city of 100 towers...

on top of the city hall tower on a sunny afternoon.

picture was already taken on sunday. d, her friends and i went to a fashion market hosted in a vacant building.

it was such a nice market with many creative self-made products: clothes, jewellery, bags.

i went to café louvre today because d's friend recommended it to me.

i could not find the café in my lonely planet, which really is a shame.

the café was opened in 1902 and today they serve tasty cakes, coffee and traditional czech dishes.

i ordered viennese coffee at café louvre in prague. this is the ultimate combination. :D

the cake was mouth-watering but the piece could have been smaller... i felt kind of full after eating the whole thing alone.

according to d's friend café louvre is a perfect place to enjoy breakfast. next time when i am in praha, i will go there again.

can you see the dancing house?

i do not know about you but i love dancing.

when i walked across one bridge i saw about 10 swans from the distance.

when i got there two of them kindly stayed. :)

looking at the swans made me feel peaceful and happy. weird, isn't it?

swan lake.

they sure do take time to clean their feathers. hehe.

my favorite.

life is much more colorful in spring even when it is cloudy.

memorial to the victims of communism.

when i am back home i need to buy a nice new vase and flowers....

after going to h&m for three times i finally bought the damn skirt.

 

music auditorium rudolfinum: home of the czech philharmonic orchestra.

this reminds me of hundertwasser somehow...

it looks unimpressive from the outside. but do not let yourself by fooled by a simple covering. never.

because things inside might be beautiful.

i would have liked to take a picture like that myself. or is this photoshopped?!

tulips.

street art.

our room.
