The first thing I thought when walking through Old town Prague was that it looked like Aladdin. I think this was because of the small alley way type roads, and the very tall tan/sand colored buildings. I couldn't help but picture Aladdin riding on his magic carpet as he weaves around corners. Coming to Prague I really didn't have any expectations. I knew it was going to be very different from the United States, England and Vienna but I didn't know how. I also felt that the city was a mix of Chicago and San Francisco. I thought it felt like Chicago simply because of the river flowing through the middle of the city. I thought the environment and landscape was more like San Francisco. The landscape was beautiful with the hills and the architecture to match it. I feel this kind of landscape and view added to the culture of the city. Just like San Francisco, the people were very concerned with preserving the culture and beauty of their town. I felt that this was the reason there were a lot of hipsters there. I viewed it as basically being the San Francisco of Europe.
