#7 Filed Trip to Prague and Dresden

After 10 days in Olomouc, I feel more comfortable and confident being around in Czech Republic.On March 26,We started our first filed trip.I really had a lot of fun in our first filed trip.Everything was already planned by Palacky University,which makes the trip more enjoyable for me. 23 of us all meet at the tram line around 9:15 am. Then we can either take tram #7 or #2 to end of the line. The professors were already there waiting for us. We need took the train form Olomouc to Praha (Prague), which take about 2 hours.Actually, it isn't a really big train station, but we could get good cafe,fruits,and donuts for breakfast,we could also get breakfast on the train, so you don't have to worried about weak up too early to have breakfast. The train is so comfortable, I even can get WIFI there. When we got to Praha,we actually walked to our hostel. The hostel is located in new town which is very close to everything you need. We went to the Old Town, Charles Bridge, and The Lennon Wall. I feel Praha is the paradise of artist. There many talented artists played different kind of instruments, and drew the pictures. personally, I prefer go to Chareles Bridge during the night. The view looks much more than different with the light. I got all free afternoon by myself. It was fun to walk around, explore every different shop. I also made some new friends when I was eating supper.
I cannot find the way back to the hostel, after I had supper with my new friends. I feel the hostel is not far away from me, but I just cannot find it. I want to ask for help, but I even don't remembered the name of hostel.I called my friend,but I don't know where I am at. So, we deiced to meet at the Clock.

Tips: Before you leave the Hostel, you can use Google Map to locate the hostel, or take a picture of hostel's information.

Around 7 ish. We all showed up at Clock. Dr. Martin took us to the IRSH BAR. I had a red beer, which is really good.

               

The other day, we visited the katedrala svateho Vita. Then we wanted to do more exploring. That was almost lunch time, and we wanted to find some thing to eat,then go to the tower. The best thing is we got lost!!! Because I think I get to see a pretty view, the green park with red roof.That's so pretty. Actually,you are not get lost, since you can see the tower, you know where is it, but we were just not sure how to get there. I feel is the good thing we got lost, because we get such a good view and good pizza.Actually, we were really enjoined being lost.You know you always can find the way back to the hostel.

The third day, we went to Dresden, of course by train. There were 5 of us sitting together, we were starving..... Then, we decided to explore to try to find something to eat. fortunately,we found a restaurant in there, the food was good and not expensive.


In Dresden,we visited Frauenkirche Lutheran Church. The Church was almost destroyed during the WWII.It took about 17 years to rebuild it. 
After that we visited Historical Museum of Saxony.I was amazed by the artists exquisite manual technology, imagination and creativity after seeing these exhibits. The last of field trip we visited Jewish Quarters of Old Town Prague.That was miserable history for Jewish people during the WWII. I read the book about this period of history before, I was so depressed when I actually see all these names on the wall...

We back to home safely. That was awesome trip. I can't wait for next filed trip.
