A Year in Grenoble

I'm a junior at Arizona State and majoring in French and Political Science. I'm spending my third year abroad, in Grenoble, France. You can read about the city here. This site will chronicle my adventures...

Prague Sights

We met a handful of French people in the youth hostel in Prague, and two Germans. We hung out with the French for a bit but then... "lost" them... accidentally... and didn't look for them.

Drinking the Czech speciality.

Group hug in Karlovy Lazne, "the biggest night-club in middle Europe." Five stories of pulsing music until 5am.

Our beds had secret hiding spaces... probably quite popular during the Communist days.

The architecture in Prague was amazing. Every street corner featured another soaring cathedral or elaborate church.

This is a giant, full-scale functioning metronome at the north end of the city.

Prague Castle, from a distance, across the Charles River. It looks like Disneyland, except it's real!

The Charles Bridge was absolutely jam-packed with tourists, and this was in late October. Apparently the summer months are even more crowded. Mission Impossible fans recognize anything familiar?

Yes, I know my scarf looks funny.

I was in Prague two summers ago--the bridge was indeed jam packed. We will have to compare pictures someday.
