Today was our last day in Prague, and we definitely took advantage of the time we had. For example, we all woke up around 5:30 in the morning to start our bus ride to a border town with Poland. However, the bus ride there was not smooth by any means. Our first issue came up when we were about 30 minutes out of the town known as Harrachov. One of the layers of the tires blew off from a nail, and we spent nearly two hours at a truck repair station. When we got to the glass factory near Poland, there was pretty much no time for the tour. We decided to break to Skoda Automotive and tour the factory there. I really enjoyed how automated the factory was in general, proving what human minds are capable of.

If there was any advice I could give to others when traveling to Prague, learn a little bit of the language before you go. Even though pretty much everyone speaks English in the country, I still feel like I missed a big piece of the culture here in Prague. Regardless, the other thing I would tell people is to keep your mind as open as possible. I personally have never been to Europe before this trip, and did not know what to expect. However, that was the beauty of the excitement in the trip. I was able to enjoy and learn while I experienced the trip, as opposed to making decisions based on what I expect would happen.
