As all exceptional beauties , Prague attracts all kinds of attention. Apart from lovers of classical music , history and architecture geeks it also attracts greed and lust.
So in Prague , next to the refined concert halls and striking palaces you can also find cheats, pickpockets , infamous bars, prostitutes , pimps…. On the other hand, I must confess that I ended up at two stag parties of English guys here in Prague and these two nights put my image of such events in a different frame. The first one I still recall as the night I was treated like a princess — I danced a lot, I was bought drinks , my stuff was looked after and in the morning there was a taxi for me to get me safely home.
As if the whole evening was rather for me. Even today, after three years or so I still think those men were unbelievable gentlemen. Since then I have seen stag parties participants simply as people looking for entertainment here. First for being so attractive that all kinds of people cannot resist her… And, guess what, Prague can take it.
Still, I do avoid Wenceslas square in the evenings and at nights. In this respect I resonate with one of the main characters of a great novel Escape to Perdition by James Silvester. Like a vandalized portrait, all around the square, the black as pitch night was punctuated with neon lights, fast food outlets, clubs, strip joints and bars, while prostitutes, dealers and pickpockets hung around in dark alcoves waiting to take advantage of the drunkards inside.
Now imagine how the same feels to a sensitive heart of a tour guide who deeply loves Prague. Your email address will not be published. Search for:. Leave a Reply Cancel reply Your email address will not be published.
