A statue of Charles IV, selecting food at restaurants and a guard at Prague Castle seemed foreign to me! These are my pictures from Prague.

I thought the food in Prague was pretty grim and so were the waiters.

I noticed a lot of goulash or sausages with mashed potatoes. But the pastries were delicious!

Great shots – if you’re not a fan of heavy meatcentric meals then I’d say that the food pix in that window looked pretty “foreign”!

Oh ho! I knew this was Prague before I even saw the title. Isn’t it funny how once you start traveling the images you once had of the world fall off like scales that covered your eyes? At one time I only knew what I know of Europe from TV or magazines. Now that I have lived here awhile I can see and tell the difference of where people are from or what culture I am looking at without being prompted.Nice job. I hope you had a great time in Prague. It is a very fun and interesting city.

Interesting mix, Meg. It’s a strange concept, “foreign”, isn’t it, because it’s so relative.

I loved Prague and had good food and lovely waiters, lucky I guess. My favourite was like a chicken chowder in a hollowed out loaf. It was so nice. I’d love to go back.

I haven’t been to Prague, but have been thinking about it. Doesn’t it have some pretty awesome Christmas markets?

If you couldn’t come up with something foreign, there’d be no hope for the rest of us! lol These are great examples. Off topic–gelato on my mind–a friend told me where there’s one of those shops not far from home! That may not be a good thing…
