This trip to the Czech Republic, with no specific reasons, I have very strong desire to do it by myself. Therefore, after submission of my 1st year report and the delivery of my new LZ7 camera (yes, I lost my LZ1), I backpacked to Cesky Krumlov and Prague (the capital) in the Czech Republic alone. This solo travelling comes after 6 years of my first solo in the US when I was 24 back in 2001. That time I had no choice. I wonder what makes me changed. Is it solely due to the 6 years difference?
Apart from looking for the answer for myself, I am very curious about the purpose of other solo travellers, especially Asian gals. I interviewed a Japanese gal met in Hostelling International during my last night in Prague. She was travelling alone too. When I backpacked in the US that time, I observed that most of the gals who travelled alone were Japanese. I gave them the thumbs up as they could scarcely speak English but still dared to travel in an English speaking country by themselves. Bravo! Fortunately this Japanese gal can speak very good English. She told, "It's too much troubles to travel with friends" Huh! Hahaha.
Very different from my solo at one time, I find this solo trip quite enjoyable. May be because I pick up other interests like photography; I could wait patiently just to capture the moment when the tram passed right in front of the historical building. I also like to watch people; Observing the difference between English tourists and the local Czech people, or other tourists who speak the language which I couldn't differentiate.
Prague historical Tram (from the period 1908-1942) ran in Old Town Square.
Tram stop in Old Town Square.
Tram18 crossing the bridge (Manesov most). The notable sight is the Prague Castle, the largest medieval castle complex in Europe.
Tram18 passing the church (sorry, I forgot the name of the church).
