Prague has got to be one of the most beautiful cities I’ve ever been to. I don’t like the fact that it’s city centre is very touristy and at times made me feel like it’s Disney Land rather than an actual city. But the tourists do bring a lot of musicians, artists and entertainers onto the streets which always is a plus. This guy was standing on the famous and beautiful Charles Bridge. Hopefully one day I can visit it again:)

I’ve traveled to Sweden in March while it still was pretty cold. But the cold weather doesn’t stop some of its residence from going for walks in its cozy parks. I have walked pretty much all over Gothenburg and its small parks are one of the things I liked about the city. If it wasn’t for the cold weather I could see myself sitting there for an hour or two doing nothing:D I don’t remember the name of this exact park. There weren’t a lot of people in it so it wasn’t hard to spot these guys. I just clicked my camera passing by without thinking much of it. But nearly 1 year after I took it I found this pic on my hard drive and for some reason I kinda like it. Something warm about it in this cold cold weather. (As always click the pic for better quality:)
This is the other concentration camp in Auschwitz, also known as Auschwitz II. Birkenau was specifically built for extermination and is a much more depressing sight than the original Auschwitz. I’ll post more from Birkenau. This pic is just a fence but when you think of the fact that hundreds of thousands of people suffered and died behind it for no reason at all less than a century ago…well it becomes more than just a fence.
Some of my friends have traveled to Bratislava in cold weather and came back a little disappointed, advising me against spending my money to go there. I’m glad I didn’t listen. I got lucky with the weather and saw the city in an absolutely different colour. And it was quite literally very colourful in some places around the city.
As you see on the clock this was around noon and it was very hot. Hopefully I did a good job transmitting the colours and a hot environment. I don’t know how these old men sat there patiently in such heat with their jackets on and without any rush or a care in the world.
