Across the Danube River
I posted some photos from the Pest side of the Danube River in Budapest, and now here’s some more from the Buda side! The first thing I saw when I crossed the river: it reads, “confidence in the ancient virtue,” the royal slogan of Franz Josef I, head of the Austro-Hungarian Empire…. The narrow, uphill…

Welcome to Budapest
I was in Budapest early last week for business, but I also had some free time to explore the city. Budapest has a really great vibe – a laid back, happening place that’s a little reminiscent of Prague with its ornate, colorful architecture. First things first when I explore in Europe: gelato!

A Central European Road Trip
I just got back in Prague earlier today after a business trip to Budapest, Hungary. I’m in love with Budapest itself, and the road trip getting there was great, too!

First, my Kindle broke. Then my iPod semi-broke. To keep the theme going, I broke my sunglasses… and after that my Internet went out.

Business in the Czech Republic
In school, I’ve always learned that the Czech Republic is one of the prime examples for a successful transition from a communist command economy to a free market economy. Studying economics in a classroom, however, is totally different from living on the frontlines here in Prague. Being here, I can see firsthand the determination of…

Over the Weekend
I love weekends in Europe. Last Saturday, I went to a Czech outdoor festival with looots of great food…. And then, on Sunday, I went up to one of the highest places in Prague with great views of the city. There was this calm park… …plus several rose gardens…. And towards the end of the…

This Week in Pictures
A few photos from this week…. Prague’s Charles Bridge is my new favorite place to be while watching the sun set – it falls behind the Prague Castle and the play of light is amazing…. Love walking along the Vltava River – the riverside architecture is all so unique. I take the tram to work…
