The best place for celebrating st. Valentine´s day is… Where your heart already is …

Before I set off lot of people around me was talking to me
about their experience there and warned me before disappointing. “Paris is like
a Budapest,” said me my landlord who is coming from Hungary. “Prague is more
romantic then Paris,” said me one friend of mine from Mexico who was in Prague
and he was absolutely happy about that. “Eiffel tower is like a Petřín – our Czech
lookout,” said me my mum, etc. It was really interesting – lot of people and lots
of opinions.

Indeed. Paris. I am sure in summer it is amazing place. But
I was there in January. I think for us – people from Europe – Continent is
really Paris nothing special – really it is very similar like Budapest… like
Prague… Actually I felt myself here sometimes like in Vienna, sometimes like in
Prague and sometimes… it is really strange… but like in Karlsbad (Karlovy
Vary). Paris and its dominants are really very similar like in Prague… But
Prague is smaller, what means very cosy and… I am very sorry… but for me… Is
really the most romantic place on all over the world… Prague…
There is very nice place called Petřín – there are lots of
parks and there is small copie of Eiffel tower – called Petřín. It is the most
romantic place in my country.
While we are celebrating st. Valentine today in my country
we celebrate 1st May like a festival of love. Everybody who are in
love with someone are going to the park or nature and are kissing together
under the flowering trees and reading poetry (our most famous poetry is small book called May from writer Karel Hynek Macha). In Prague is most famous place for that Petřin –
place on the small montain – like Montmartre in Paris.
I was always so proud of Prague and everybody speak about
Prague by nice way – and indeed – everybody who was once in Prague was falling
in love with this place forever and ever – so magic Prague is. When I attended
Mundo Lingo in Paris (Language exchange )
- new opened branch – walked up to me one South Korea girl. When she
discovered I am from the Czech Republic, she took a breath and started to
taking about Prague. Of course I expected nice storytelling as always so I
asked her if she think it is romantic place - Prague. So she said: “Oh, it is..
but! I have to say to you something… When we have been with my friends in
Prague we met some strange man on the street – he was wearing long coat and
when we come close to him he opened this coat and he was naked under it…” In
this moment everybody around me – including me – started to laugh immediately.
Then I finished with asking everybody if they know Prague J

I capitulated. He was right. This is really more then Prague and Paris.:-)
The second guy was from the place in Sicilia – close to beautiful
place called Taormina. I was there… It is like Montmartre or Petřín - on the montain – connected with the city by
cableway.
Montmartre is very nice place and Petřin as well but Taormina… there is nothing to compare… maybe cos in Sicily is lot of sun and sun is the thing what makes a light and make the people be happy… and tha´t it.

Just I want to say… the most important thing what I got it
in Paris is… the most romantic place on over the world is there where you are
with someone you are in love or with your friends, family or people do you like
them. Then is every place the best one!
By this post I just wanted to say everybody… Happy st. Valentine!:-)
