Kyoto's sister city - Prague's Jewish Quarter

A couple of hours became available in Prague just before going back home, so I took a look at Prague main railway station and got lost in Jewish Quarter.


I tend to like an atmosphere of station, where people come and leave. Especially European train station is of special interest as there are international trains, where are yet impossible to island nation of Japan. I found a train bound for Hungarian capital of Budapest on this occasion. It is understandable that they share the liking of goulash.

From main railway station strolled I to National Museum and Wenceslas Square, then to Old Town. There I just took a path bit off the heavy touristy area, and got lost in Jewish Quarter. Jewish Quarter is tourist spot on its own, but still I got lost. Christianity is imported to Japan mostly superficially, but Judaism is almost absent in Japanese soil. I didn't get the hint what Judaism is in just a short walk, but it was interesting to be lost in Jewish Quater.

After enjoying being lost in Jewish Quarter, I emerged to Vltaba river that was becoming familiar view. I encountered two street music performer on the bridge, one playing accordion and the other playing glass. Both were comfortable to my ears on the bridge.
