Before I caught my train to Prague, I rode a bike around Dresden, and I felt a little like a local.  :)  To continue that experience, I didn't buy a tram ticket either!!  When I got to Prague, the first thing I needed to do was change my money- so inconvenient!  A Czech crown is worth about 5 cents.  Once I found my hostel and dropped off my things, I walked around New Town and some of Old Town and saw the Charles Bridge and the Dancing Building.  I found Patrinske Park and Wenceslas Square.  I had some trdelnik, which is a traditional pastry. 
On Saturday, I took a tour of Prague.  We saw the Old Town Square, the Church of Our Lady of Tyn,  the Astrological Clock,  the Karolinium, Estates Theatre, where Mozart premiered Don Giovanni, Powder Tower, the Municipal House, one of the only Cubist style buildings, and St. Jacob's Church, where the shriveled arm of a thief hangs.  After the tour, I visited Prague Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral, the Charles Bridge, the peeing men statue at the Kafka Museum, watched the parade of apostles at the Astrological Clock, tried to find the entrance to St. Jacob's Church but couldn't, so I didn't see the arm :( then ended at the National Museum.  In the evening, I went on a pub crawl with some girls I met at the hostel.  Prague night life is fun, and we ended the night at the Karlovy Lazne, the biggest dance club in central Europe. 
Yesterday, I took the train to Vienna and explore a little.  There's no free tour here, so I'm on my own.  I saw Stephensdom and walked around Stadt Park, with statues of famous composers in it, and finished the day at the Danube Island Music Festival.  Today is another full day of sightseeing!
