Day 5 + 6: The castle and the trip back home

On Tuesday we went to the castle. Oh my god, there were so many Korean people again, and I'm proud I can understand what their saying and I can talk to them as well. (Y)
We wanted a photo with all of us so someone else had to take this photo. A Korean couple was sitting in front of us and German people were about 50m away. Mx classmates wanted to ask those German people but I just started talking to this Korean couple. Guess what? It worked, we've got our photos (at least one of us and I'm going to get those photos later.)
But well, a few photos I took at the castle now.

In the evening we went to a pub and drank some beer. Actually we wanted to visit the ice pub but the entrance fee was really expensive and no one had any money anymore.
Before going to the pub we had the boat trip, it wasn't dark but it was really interesting to hear those legends.
I took a few photos but I can't upload them right now.

Yesterday we got back home and it took us nine and a half hours. I'm really tired and when thinking about this class trip...
It wasn't as bad as I thought, Prague is a beautiful city but it's not unique, especially not in Central Europe. It looks just like Hamburg and Lübeck but well... there are more Asian tourists. I bet if I would've screamed for help in Korean, 60% of the tourists would've understood what I said.
My classmates were kind of annoying because... they were drinking alcohol the whole day and they were loud at night so I couldn't sleep as well.

However, maybe I'm going back to Prague someday but without my classmates and only for a few days because seeing the same places everyday is kind of boring and annoying.

On Monday I'll be going to the Netherlands but I don't think we're going to do a lot of sightseeing because we've been there on holiday for five years now.

See y'all!

Day 4: Going back in time

Today was a really boring day. We went to Terezin and visited a memorial and two museums. Oh people, come on. We know that Terezin and also the Nazi government and politics were NOT the best part in Germany's history. When leaving Germany we have to expect at least one person will ask us if we're proud of being German or someone will call us Nazis. You know what? It's annoying.
We've been talking about World War II in history class for years and we still can't change the past.
But well, I could write about this problem for hours and it wouldn't change anything so I'm just going to show you a few photos.

Tomorrow we're going to the castle and then we have to pack our things already. I bet you can't imagine how happy I'll be when I'm arriving at home and I'm able to listen to so many new songs and bands.
Oh yes. I'll survive. B)

See you tomorrow.

Day 3: What a fucked up day...

Today was a really horrible day. Starting with breakfast.
When we arrived downstais in the restaurant someone told us that another class arrived and there was no space for us to sit.

Later we had this boat trip and... guess what, we've seen places we've seen during the last days already. There was nothing we haven't seen during the last days.
But well, the weather was nice (even though it's still really cold) so I took a few photos.

We went into the city after this trip and ee were walking around for hours before going to the brewery where we were told about Staropramen and it's history.

It wasn't really interesting or boring, just okay.
We got back to our hotel and rested, and later we had dinner but today this was really really bad. So I went out with friends and we bought some food for worst case scenarios.

Well, two days left until I can go back home and I'm pretty glad about this, Prague is getting boring because we see the same places every day, and also the poor parts of this city.

Let's see what we're doing tomorrow. I can't wait to go back home.

Day 2: Okay, time to be honest

If I'm completely honest - Prague isn't as bad as I thought. But my classmates are worse.

Seriously, they just drink a lot of without even having a party just because they want to get drunk. That's... Well. Let's not talk about this anymore because I'm just getting mad at them.

Today we went out and had a tour around the city. Of course our guide showed us a lot of beautiful buildings but there wasn't anything that seems to be really unique, it's just... normal in Europe to have those old city centers.
 I took those photos at the Charles Bridge. Our guide showed us some places where Mission Impossible was filmed, and also a Korean Drama called "Lovers in Prague".

She also told us about the legend of Nepomuc (sorry, I don't know the spelling but I think it's fine). People in Prague say when you touch one of those 'pictures' you'll get lucky.

We've seen a lot of other buildings, for example the Clementinum with the National library and the library of Prague, a church and an old city hall.
Prague seems like a nice place to me but sadly... it's really nothing special in Central Europe, some places remind me of Lübeck and Hamburg.

In the afternoon a friend and I went into the city center again. We went shopping and I bought two shirts and a jacket because it's getting fucking cold in the evening.
Somehow we ended up at a Starbucks and had some chocolate  muffins.
When we left the Starbucks we got a little lost while looking for the Hard Rock Café. I wanted to ask a few Japanese-Czech guys just because I wanted to see how they react but... No, I didn't.

We ate dinner and then went to the hotel, a few students wanted to go out.

Tomorrow we're going to have a boat trip and we're going to visit a brewery. Sounds fun, doesn't it? u.u Especially when everyone wants to drink a lot.

See you tomorrow.

D-Day = First day

It took us nine hours by bus until we arrived in Prague, and we headed towards our direction at 6AM so I woke up at 4AM. None of us students was able to sleep in the bus, and by now it's 11.20PM. I'm tired as fuck.

After solving all problems with the internet at the hotel we had dinner, and in the evening almost everyone went out with our teachers. We were walking around for two and a half hours, and then we rested in a pub and had some beer. Alcohol isn't completely forbidden.

However, I'm really tired and want to get some sleep as soon as possible. I'll just show you a few photos now.

Tomorrow a guide is going to show us the city first, and in the evening we're going to visit Hard Rock Café Prague. However, there aren't any plans for our free time yet.

See you all tomorrow.

D-1: Going to Prague

Yes, people, two months passed by really fast and I'm back.

What happened during the past two months? Nothing. I was going to school like a normal student, I've been missing Japan and my friends and I organized my summer holiday next year.

Now I have to pack my stuff for going to Prague. Guess what? I still hate them and I don't want to go to Prague. >__< Just let me die right now, or let me stay at home, I'd rather work hard in school or somewhere else but I DON'T WANT TO GO TO PRAGUE.
I've never been a fan of class trips but this time it's even worse.

I hope those six days (including tomorrow) pass by really fast. And I'll let you know whether I'm still alive or not. Let's just hope I will survive but don't expect me to post a lot of positive stuff. I don't think I will.

Future plans

Just because I figured out where I'm going next, I thought I'm going to let you know.

2013/09/27 - 2013/10/02 Prague (Czech Republic) with my... beloved classmates. (-_- No one ever asked me~)
2013/10/07 - 2013/10/11 Coevorden (Netherlands) with my family
2013/12/01 - 2013/12/02 Paris (France) *

I don't know any dates for 2014 yet but I know I'll be going to Seoul and Fukuoka in July/August 2014. I'll tell you the dates as soon as I know about it.

* This 'trip' is just because of Infinite. It would've been so easy for me to go to Frankfurt but - because of my luck - we have to write an exam on December 4th, so I can't skip school. (The exam takes about six hours, so I really can't skip it.)

Hopefully I can tell you more about my plans next year soon. :)
