So right after celebrating baby joy's big big day (in fact, shin li's brother is having the same birthday as joy), we headed off to birm international for our adventure! If u do not know yet, prague is in czech republic; and if u still do not know yet, czech republic is in europe.. You do not hv to feel shy of ur geography bcuz i do not know where is prague is in the first instance as well! (Actually i dont even know where's europe until when i came to uk, sigh..)
Say hello to prague!
We decided to visit the most significant cultural institution in Czech Republic, the Prague Castle. In the case that u dont know (as well), Prague is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. And we visited another place in Czech that is also another UNESCO site (so stay tuned!)..
A bit more introduction of Czech Republic for you.. Albeit being part of EU, Czech Republic does not use Euro as their main currency. Instead they use Corona/Crown. For the first few days, we actually had little difficulties budgeting in terms of converting multiple currencies here and there.. But practice makes perfect is true. One msian ringgit = 5 Crowns or if u r more familiar with pound, one pound = 27 Crowns. This shall mean our ringgit is of higher value than Czech Corona. But anyway, i shall tell u also that one ringgit is now equivalent to about 5 ringgit or even 4.9 (good and bad news at the same time)..Okay, back to prague castle, it is world's largest castle complex with an area of almost 70,000 m². There are numerous in it with various architectural styles and characteristics.
One of the most popular building is the St. Vitus Cathedral. You shall be amazed while u grasp the architecture of the building.
Shin li was asking if ancient ppl were too free thus they have time to carve all these.. :)
A carved-map of prague.. Charles bridge linking the east and west of Prague..

Tat's St. Wenceslas vineyard, also the venue for the best view of city of Prague. 
Playing hide-and-seek in the south gardens..
The dancing house, standing glamorously in the nite..
The night view in prague was awesomely beautiful as well! Especially if u see it with your own eyes! ^-^
The castle was just like a disneyland.. Apologies that the picture is big too small, i ve tried my best.. But if u r really keen, u can get a bigger and clearer view on my facebook!
I know i have not been talking bout Czech food yet. I shall leave it for the next post as i gotta go for dinner, see you! :D
