Our second day in Prague started with more lectures, which were surprisingly interesting. We discussed how the Czech Republic managed to pull itself out of the financial crisis of 2008 with relatively few scratches compared to other European Union members. But after a long lecture, we finally got to explore the city! Our guide took us on a quick tour, starting with Old Town Square.
In Old Town Square, there is the famous Astronomical Clock, the oldest still functioning clock in the world. Every hour, a skeleton on the side will pull a bell, and the 12 apostles will also rotate around. The clock has a few dials: one for the movement of the sun, one for the movement of the moon, one for the time, and another for the zodiac. The clock itself and its hourly ritual are quite impressive.
As we were walking towards our bus, we ran into a group of people doing the Harlem Shake…
