Today was our next to last day in Prague. We woke up bright and early to drive to a glass factory near the Polish border. However, on the way there we got a flat tire so it was a very interesting time. We didn’t get to stay at the factory for long, so it wasn’t…

Today we went to a company called Nano Tech. They partner with power plants and control how much power needs to be produced at any time. They had a really nice rooftop with a great view of the city. We then went to the National Technical Museum where we saw the history of cars in…

Today we got some time to sleep in which was well needed. We also went to Kunsthalle Praha which is an art gallery. The building was so unique. There were so many different staircases and the floor design was really interesting. There was a really cool room with hammocks and it was Jimi Hendrix themed…

Today we took a trip to Cesky Krumlov. The city is located near the southern border with Austria. It was about a 2 and a half hour drive. When we got there, I didn’t really know what to expect but the town was very nice. Its located right on the river but the river isn’t…

Today we took a day trip to Kutna Hora, a small town an hour outside of Prague. The town was created because a surplus of silver was found in the area and now has many old silver mines. One of the main things we saw when we were there was the ossuary. It was probably…

Most of the school buildings aren’t right next to each other but are more spread out instead. Another thing I noticed is that there are no giant lecture…

Today is day four in Prague. We did another company visit today at the Central Bohemian Innovation Center. After that we went to a fallout bunker from the Cold War. It was so cool. They had old guns that were there when the bunker was abandoned. It also had old spying equipment that was used…

Today was a very eventful day for us. We started off by going to a lecture about the history of the Czech Republic. It was very interesting to learn how Czech’s felt about the Nazis and being under communist rule. It was good to get a different perspective on these things. Then we went to…

Today we went on a walking tour throughout the city. We saw many things such as the old Jewish town, St. Charles bridge, and the Prague castle. After that we went on our own and explored new parts of the city. We went to a park on an island in the river as well as…

We landed in Prague today after 24 hours of traveling. Running on little sleep we did not do much outside of visiting some popular parts of Prague. I am looking forward to exploring the city and checking out some key parts of the city. I am also looking forward to getting to know the other…
