Hey Brandi—
I know I was supposed to get home yesterday so we could get married tomorrow, but all my stuff was stolen so I’m stuck in Prague for a while, which is how I know so much about it. As you probably know, Prague is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic. It is the 14th largest city in the European Union.[4] It is also the historical capital of Bohemia. Situated in the north-west of the country on the Vltava River, the city is home to about 1.26 million people, while its larger urban zone is estimated to have a population of nearly 2 million.[5] The city has a temperate climate, with warm summers and chilly winters. Prague has the lowest unemployment rate in the European Union.
So that’s cool at least. I don’t know how long I’ll have to be here, so maybe cancel the wedding and we’ll re-schedule or something. Meanwhile, what’s great is, The city is traditionally one of the cultural centres of Europe, hosting many cultural events. Some of the significant cultural institutions include the National Theatre (Národní Divadlo) and the Estates Theatre (Stavovské or Tylovo or Nosticovo divadlo), where the premières of Mozart‘s Don Giovanni and La clemenza di Tito were held. Other major cultural institutions are the Rudolfinum which is home to the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra and the Municipal House which is home to the Prague Symphony Orchestra. The Prague State Opera (Státní opera) performs at the Smetana Theatre. So maybe I’ll check that out.
Plus Jason said you thought you saw me coming out of his apartment building and didn’t believe him when he said it wasn’t me, but it totally wasn’t. How could it be? I was here the whole time, where Since the fall of the Iron Curtain, Prague has become one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations. Prague suffered considerably less damage during World War II than some other major cities in the region, allowing most of its historic architecture to stay true to form. It contains one of the world’s most pristine and varied collections of architecture, from Romanesque, to Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, Neo-Renaissance, Neo-Gothic, Art Nouveau, Cubist, Neo-Classical and ultra-modern.
So tell your mom I’m sorry and everything, although she won’t believe it because she doesn’t really like me, but whatever. If she says she doesn’t believe I’m really here, tell her I must be, because how else would I know that the city has many world-class museums, including the National Museum (Národní muzeum), the Museum of the Capital City of Prague, the Jewish Museum in Prague, the Alfons Mucha Museum, the African-Prague Museum, the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague, the Náprstek Museum (Náprstkovo Muzeum), the Josef Sudek Gallery and The Josef Sudek Studio, the National Library and the National Gallery, which manages the largest collection of art in the Czech Republic?
So, okay. I’ll be in touch when I know when I’m coming back.
Love,
Me
