Hi, I arrived to Praha (Prague), the capital of Czechia. I hope I'll have a lot of fun here 

Nobody celebrates Halloween in Czechia, although they also have All Saints' Day in their calendar. More important is the All Souls' Day, which falls on 2nd November. On this day (or during the first week in November), people visit graves of their deceased friends and relatives.

So today I visited Olšanské hřbitovy (Olšany Cemetery), the largest graveyard in Prague. On the picture, you can see the Tyrš-and-Fügner Column. In 1862, Miroslav Tyrš and Jindřich Fügner founded the Sokol movement, a youth gymnastics organization. ("Sokol" is the Czech for "falcon" - that's why you can see a falcon's sculpture on the top of the column.)

My host took me to school today. (Unfortunately, he studies Mathematics, so I didn't understand a single word...)


Right next to his school, there's an interesting architectonic complex called Karlov. It was founded in 1350 by Charles IV (Karel IV.), Holy Roman Emperor and Bohemian King, who is also called Otec vlasti - Father of the Homeland. Here you can see his statue.


This church is dedicated to Virgin Mary and Charlemagne.


There is also Museum of Police nearby. It seems that they're gonna have some new exhibits...

A new toyvoyager arrived today - his name is Mumble and he was so kind that he showed me his journal.

I and Mumble played Settlers of Catan today. It was so much fun 

Do you remember those giraffes I saw in Planckendaele, Belgium? Well, today I met another giraffe. Her name is Dottie Grace and she has travelled a lot.


Bestik came along with her.


We talked about our journeys.

This is me in front of Saint Nicholas Church in Malá Strana ("Lesser Quarter" in Czech).


And this is Charles Bridge, built by Emperor Charles IV in 1357. (Did I mention I saw a statue of that sovereign earlier?)
