days 3,4,5 - prague in czech republic
the entire city of Prague looks so quaint and almost unreal to me. the medieval buildings were largely well preserved and any kind of modern architectures were far away from the city centre.
you could walk to just about anywhere within Prague's zone 1 (the city center called Praha 1)and you'd have covered all the must dos and sees.

changing of guards near the castle:
st vitus cathedral:
i personally feel that the cathedral is a must visit! the cathedral is made up of small individual chapels and is the resting place of many important figures of the Czech history.
as you walk back to charles bridge it's not uncommon to see people performing music on the streets.
i think the government of Czech did a good job preserving the buidings and heritage in this sense, at least they don't tear down buildings as they like or paint them in green, pink and yellow. (think chinatown heritage shophouses!)
hang in there buddy!
it took me awhile to get used to the city, because everything looks so unreal - it's almost like you are walking within 'movie world' or something. and by the time i got used to the buildings, it was time to go. Prague's really good for a 2D1N or max 3D2N trip :)
