#Prague Castle

[hornyforpoetry]

Ceilings, plaster... Can't you just make it move faster?...

Lovely to be sitting here with you... You're kinda cute but it's raining harder...

Then you're drivin' me home... And I don't wanna leave... But I have to go

You kiss me in your car... And it feels like the start of a movie I've seen before... Before...

My beautiful Prague. Charles Bridge is the most popular area for vendors hoping to catch the attention of summer tourists as they make their way through the “Old Town” toward the Prague castle.

Saw a pretty crappy apartment that I don't want. Bizzare layout that made poor use of its already small dimensions. Small apartments are not implicitly bad but they're much easier to get wrong.

On impulse went wandering in the castle district and ended up at. the castle. which is more predictable in retrospect than it felt at the time.

St. Vitus' Cathedral fuckin whips look at this thing.

Majestic. There are remains of the Church of St. Mary which dates back to like 800 on this site which is buckwild. 800. That's not enough numbers for a real year.

The ascent to Prague Castle is a ton of stairs and the views are spectacular.

On the way up to the castle a blind British man stopped us and asked for directions and some guiding, very grateful to one webcomic whose name I can't remember for including well researched notes on how to guide correctly. If you remember the name of a webcomic starring a blind programmers and his future cop girlfriend in a setting where everyone's names were letters from different alphabets let me know.

good sky too.

JUST IN: Hra na Hrad, část 2: gotické období je venku!

(nebo teda na youtube, ale jakože chápeme se)

Bezejmenný protagonista se ocitá ve víru korunovace Karla IV. Prodají mu v krčmě pivo, i když mu ještě nebylo osmnáct? Jak si poradí s morálním dilematem, které prezentuje nedostatek dobových peněz? A bude celý můj input ke gameplayi skutečně spočívat pouze v tom, že opakuji do mikrofonu to, co už nám stačily sdělit postavy?

Impressions of Praha #2

This part will cover mostly Praha Castle and the Charles Bridge. And lots of windows. I have to say first that I am... slightly spoiled when it comes to monumental buildings. Therefore please pardon me when my judgement of what I saw in Praha is maybe a bit underwhelming. Anyway, let's start. This is Charles Bridge leading to Praha Castle. It was build in 14th Century by... King Charles of Luxembourg.

There are some streetvendors obviously but they only sell the typical stuff, like painting or caricatures and little bracelets and stuff. Nothing too fancy but tourist seems to like it for some reason. More important is this dude below. You might have seen him in tumblr posts already :D A good golden boi. (yes, of course I touched him too for good luck)

When you cross the bridge you have to walk through 2 big towers. The gothic one is dating back to 12th century and is therefore older than the bridge itself. The other one is the youngest part of the bridge, built in 1454 and made from sandstone.

Then, of course, you have to climb another hill. Once you managed and didnt die of pain in your feet you will reach Praha Castle. With an awesome view over the city. In the back there you can even see the "dancing houses", which I didnt visit up close.

If you buy the tickets for Praha Castle.. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES follow the mass of tourists. There are 2 building in which you can buy tickets. For some reasons the whole mass of people will walk to the right one, completely overlooking the left. Meaning you have hundreds of people waiting in line on the right, while the left one is.... walk in, pay, go outside. I suppose the other tourists were too floored by what greets you once you step inside the castle grounds.

This is St. Vitus Cathedral. For me not that impressing from the outside and inside (as I said I am spoiled by other cities). HOWEVER. .....

..... THE WINDOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hell, I fell in love with the WINDOWS!!!! Look at this!!!!!! There is even one by Mucha himself!

The windows come in many different styles too. I think I spend more time ogling the windows than anything else. Admittedly, cathedrals do mostly look the same if not for some location based oddities. So please excuse me for not taking pictures of the... uh... ordinary stuff. Which is still expensive and what not, but not feel like striking features for me. Oh and.... I'd like to present my archenemy.

As you can see Praha Castle does not use one, not two, but more or less eight (!) different kinds of pavement. Needless to say - I suffered. And I suffered some more. Because you can visit the other buildings as well. Starting with Vladislaw Hall. Although quite interesting when it comes to how it is build - the kind of ceiling is self-stabilizing, meaning you don't need additional pillars to keep it from falling, also you have one entrance where you could ride inside on a horse if you came for a tournament as a knight - I nearly had a meltdown when I saw the rest.

That line of waiting tourists.... is not all. I was waiting in that line when I took the photo. What are they all waiting for? A window. More or less empty rooms with one important window. The window where the Prague Defenestration started. Needless to say I was incredibly underwhelmed.

This is the view out of said window, where (I think) two people fell down and somehow lived. ....... Anyway, much more interesting was the second floor! Look!!!

I have no idea who they all are, but isn't this pretty? Nearly all walls are covered in coats-of-arms and names and dates. I loved it. Next stop: St- George Cathedral. Not that imposing, for me personally rather bland, but interesting in terms of which elements were used for decoration. Especially the arches in an early frankish-moorish style.

At that point I was nearly unable to walk. There was one part left, a tiny street with old houses. However I do know severaly medieval tiny streets that are much more interesting so I wasn't that impressed.

And then at last the stairs of hell down the hill to the exit. Why stairs of hell? Because it was 2 uneven stair steps - then a slant with uneven stones - 2 uneven stair steps - slant - stair steps - and so on. A LONG WAY down. In winter probably deadly. In spring... not deadly but tiring. At the base the people sat down almost immediatly, on benches, on steps, on the ground. Just overall exhaustion. And that's it. As mentioned I still visited the Depeche Mode concert later that day, after returning to the hotel for a much needed rest. Our next bigger plan involves London. But that will take a while because money.

Petr Pavel was sworn into office as president of the Czech Republic on Thursday at Prague Castle. He’s a strong supporter of Ukraine and Western democracy.

Petr Pavel, a former Czech army chief and high-level NATO official, started his five-year term as Czech president on Thursday with pledges to keep helping Ukraine and support painful economic policies.

Presidents have different duties and different degrees of power in different countries.

Czech presidents do not have many day-to-day duties but they pick prime ministers and central bank heads, have a say in foreign policy, are powerful opinion makers, and can push the government on policies.

President Pavel is expected to have a higher than average international profile for a Czech president. A visit to Ukraine in the near future is a probability. 

He said something in his inauguration speech which we’d never hear from Donald Trump:

Musíme si udržet pokoru, to ale neznamená, že nemůžeme mít odvahu, vizi, nebo ideu. (We must retain our humility, but that doesn't mean we can't have courage, a vision, or concept.)

This is coverage (totally in Czech) of President Pavel taking the oath of office. It begins with ceremonial pomp featuring an audience of members of both chambers of the Czech parliament and various other dignitaries. His inauguration isn’t considered done until he signs an official document just after the oath. It’s at that point when we hear the audience applaud.
