Did you see what I saw ?

A very old man playing violin near Prasna Bana gate , in Namesti Republicky with the backdrop of gigantic poster of a young women playing violin.

I can hardly hear any music coming out from his violin other than some noises...but hey I was thinking ..at least he tried to perform rather than just beg for money ....

He was not aware that I was watching him for sometime...he certainly had good business that day ... he stops every few minutes to pick up the coins and put them safely in his pocket ......after a while I happens to meet Juan ( who stayed in the same hostel as me ) and we decided to walk together to Hradcany and further up to Loreta ...

Josefov Mestro ...( Jewish town )

Puppet 1 : Hey who is that guy ?
Puppet 2: I dont know . But he certainly looks cool !
Puppet 3 : Which one ?
Puppet 4 : Oh dear , are you blind ? the one who is tryingto take our pictures , of course !
Puppet 5 : Ya he is cool but what is he thinking of us ? Cute ? Argghhh
Puppet 6 : Shhhh...!!! Dont scare him away ...we are gonna be famous soon ! Heard he is one of VT's coolest member !

In front of an old puppet shop in Hradcany

they are part of the town ,
they are everywhere ,
all shapes and sizes ...
they live here for hundreds of years

Introducing the good little people of Prague...

Dont forget to take a pic with them !

    I do not know how you could consider those cute little kittens as dangerous!

    Nice Prague photos... Did you find out why did the red bikini lady block your view?

    I see you were busy travelling ... brilliant pics as usual. Hey, a shame you did not give me hint you were in Prague - we could have had a VT-meeting since I live only 2 hours away!
