Procrastination to the MAX!

Even when i know that something is seriously important, i still manage to procrastinate.
I don't know why. Can somebody please tell me why?
I'd been like this ever since i was young. Seriously.
Always did last minute revision for exams. Even now.
Which is why i always did badly in it.
I am not smart. I never got first in my class but i never got last too. So i guess that makes me an average student. I'm not like those awfully smart students where they manage to do damn well even when they don't study. Well, thats what they say anyway. haha..I know i need to study hard in order to do well. BUT!!!!
Things are always easier said than done.How many times have i tell myself that i wont do last minute revision anymore?
Its too many times that i lost count. 
Always regret when its too late. 
*sigh*

Prague



I actually wrote this post sometime ago but i got stucked halfway so i just saved it.. haha..
Procrastinate AGAIN!!

****

I am suddenly in the mood to blog so i might as well just continue my easter trip's post.. 
I know i know.. Its old story now but i promised to do so..so here goes..
WARNING!! A long post ahead..More like lotsa picture ahead..

Continuing from the Budapest post, we had to take a 7-hours train to Prague. Lucky us, there's a group of people from Columbia University sitting around us so we chatted a little with them during the journey.


View from the train

When we reach Czech, we suddenly felt that it was colder than before and Alicia pointed out that it was snowing outside.
The first thought that came to our mind was "Die man!! We only have a thin coat/jacket as well as clothes."
Why must the weather forecast be so accurate at times like this?? *sweat*

By the time we reached Prague, it was already half past 8.
We were asking around the people in the station for the way to our hotel and there was this guy, a tourguide, who scared the hell out of us..
He kept saying that the place where we were staying is dangerous and stuff.

We were staying in Praha3 and all the sightseeings were in Praha1. So if anyone of you are thinking of going to Prague, remember to choose accommodation that is in Praha1. You have to take the underground and tram to Praha1 from Praha3. 
I didn't know that when i booked it back then.

Anyway, back to the story, he kept promoting his hotel to a point where i juststop listening to him. Its so obvious that he's promoting his hotel.
We managed to know the way from a money-changer and told him what the tourguide said. He said that its not as scary as he said. Praha3 is actually kinda safe. Stupid tourguide trying to con us. Ishhh..

After checking in the hotel, we called it a night as both were tired from the long journey.

The following day, we went sightseeing, of course.


The metro station

It was kinda chilly that day and it started to snow when we reached the station to Prague Castle. Luckily it stopped when we reached the Castle.



St. Vitus Cathedral

My photos doesn't do justice to the magnificent view of the cathedral. What to do. No money to invest in those professional camera ma.
The view inside
Loreta

It started to snow again when we reached the Loreta. Thats the weather for the whole day. It snowed then stopped then snowed again. We asked the local people whether its always this cold during this time of the year and they say no. They said its not normal to snow in March. wth!!

Since it was so cold, we frequently went into random shops to keep ourselves warm and yeah, that includes desserts shops. *sigh*

Random statues and performers along Charles Bridge aka Karluv Most
   

View of Charles Bridge and Prague Castle from the Tower             


Astronomical Clock


The Church of Our Lady before Tyn which looked so much like a haunted house

Easter Market
   

Delicious food from the market

We then had our dinner at a small restaurant that served Czech's food. The environment is alright except its kinda dark inside.


The street at night

The restaurant

The next day, we went sightseeing again. What else?! 

The weird looking building 

After that, its *drumroll* SHOPPING of course!! LOL!!
The MNG's store was damn nice ok. The nicest MNG's outlet that i had seen so far.



Wenceslas Square with the National Museum at the end

                        The old town night view                                           View of Prague Castle on Charles Bridge


Post Office


Even the post office is nicer ok. Unlike those typical-boring-post-office where we see everywhere.
The underground too. Seriously, everything there are just so nice. 
   

The metro

For our final day in Prague, we just wandered around aimlessly as we had already went to all the places that we want to.
Our train to Krakow was at 9.24pm.
We went to the same place again and kept stalking visiting LV. I would say its more like price comparison.
The branded there are much more expensive than UK. hmmm...

When we came out of a shop, we saw the cutest doggies ever. Its SUPER-DUPER-CUTE!!!
Looks like mini lions. *chuckle*
But the owner was unfriendly. We stopped her and asked for permission to take photo with the dogs and she didn't even answer us. Just stopped while showing an unhappy face.
How can such cute doggies have such owner. 


The Chow Chows



This is the first time i saw something like cannabis vodka.
This is surely illegal in Malaysia 'cos i never seen it before. wtf...
They even have absinthe where its a very strong alcohol. They have it up to 80% ABV.
So those who claimed that they never got drunk before, you can give this a try.
  


Interesting museum but we didn't enter because we need to pay, obviously.
Since we have so much time left, we paid a little visit to some *cough* dessert *cough* store again. 



Nice window huh?!

We saw a restaurant that served the set meal at a reasonable price so we decided to have our dinner there.



Ally ordered the set meal above and we shared it between us.
The set is actually for one person.
Like who the hell can finish it alone right?! 
Not even me ok. (I know what you guys are thinking so i make it clear first) 

After dinner, we went back to the hotel to get our luggage and then to the train station.
We then bid farewell to Prague and off to Krakow.
