Tired of life? Then it's time to get away. But
upon return, please have an eye for our own city.
Is overseas moon rounder? Not necessary.
The most beautiful place is
the land we live.

A bunch of kids were waiting patiently......

for the hour needle of the Astronomical Clock to touch 11 a.m.

Waiseh! Anyway, the yellow round plate above the guy's head has the 12 signs of the zodiac.

At 11 a.m. sharp, the bell rang while the two small windows above the clock opened and Christ and his disciples marched out. This happens every hour. Coincidently, I waited and witnessed this twice (or 2 days), both times were at 11 a.m.

The normal clock (top) and the Astronomical clock (bottom) on the Old Town Hall Tower. To me, the astronomical clock is like my digital watch, which tells both the date and the time. But one Czech tour guide explained that it is very important for the astronomies in ancient days to observe the sun and the moon.
