One of the first things I saw when I checked into my hostel in Prague was the following on the wall:
This is something that the Czechs seem incredibly proud of as it was mentioned at least 4x on each of the guided tours that I took. And I can see why they have that distinction, there's certainly not a lack of nightlife in Prague!
Budapest may have been my first hostel, but in Prague I took it a step further and stayed in one of the mixed dorm rooms. My time in Prague may not have been the same without some amazing people - thank you: Chloe, Graham, Greg, Rich, Tom, Paul, Alice and Hannah! The best part in staying in a mixed dorm where the occupants are all younger than me? Hearing the phrase: "There's no way you are 27! You don't look older than 23-4!"...this never gets old. When I was younger I hated when people told me I looked young, and my mom told me I'd enjoy it one of these days -- mom, you are correct, I love it.
(Chloe, Graham, Greg, Alice and Hannah - sorry I didn't have any photos of you all since my camera had died that first night!)
I even met a guy from Ohio that is getting a graduate degree at Ohio State! We are EVERYWHERE! So of course, we had to take the obligatory photos:
