I’m not arguing with Kerry Kubilius who writes over at about.com, but it was interesting to read her perspective. Here is, a portion of, what she had to say:
Today, Prague is a major destination for expats or would-be expats in search of the Europe that exists only as an idea in literature and pop culture. Prague attracts eloping couples and honeymooners with its multitude of romantic hotel hideaways. Individuals seeking serious nightlife can enter dark and intimate jazz rooms or party with a club scene that never sleeps. Many youthful backpackers experience their first real sense of independence in Prague, while established individuals savor Prague through its food, art, and shops.
Prague’s mystery, beauty, character, and history make it a must-see city. However, because Prague serves as the permanent or temporary home of sophisticated music lovers, spies, romantics, and the inspired, Prague’s inhabitants – real, imaginary, or historical – are what create its aura of sex appeal.
Hmmm… This isn’t why I’m here, but then again it is. Prague has had steady growth since the fall of communism and is once again on the verge of becoming a world class city, that will make a cultural impact in central Europe and the whole of Europe. Which would make it a reason, why I’m here. So I live in a sexy city. Yay!
