Catching a game of Hockey in Prague

Posted by Andy Steves on October 2, 2010.

Sept. 30

On Tuesday afternoon—our last in Prague—Pat and I were given the chance to tag along with a group of students at the CERGE Economics Institute to a hockey match between Prague’s home team and the team from the Czech equivalent of Pittsburgh. Whatever it was called, it was the first … More »

An evening concert in the Golden City

Having a bite or taste of home is a quick-fix to a bit of homesickness. While I haven’t been feeling it so far during our trip, I’ll always enjoy and appreciate something that reminds me of college and or home.

This morning, I grabbed a bacon, egg and cheese bagel at a place … More »

I woke up on Friday excited for the afternoon. I had scheduled a meeting with William Sr. and Jr. Lobkowicz. Their family is the only Noble family outside of royalty who has a palace up in Prague Castle. Earlier in the day, I tagged along a couple walking tours trying to find … More »

Happy Backpackers

I definitely have WSA to thank for my exceptional experience in Amsterdam. One would think 4 days isn't enough to tour a city but WSA facilitated an optimum weekend full of sightseeing and fun. Amsterdam may have a notorious reputation for its lax drug and sex culture but there’s so much more to the city. Luckily, our tour guide, Arthur, native to the Netherlands, steered us away from the tourist traps and showed us around his beloved city, highlighting all of its gems. I'd definitely like to try other WSA trips in the future. It's hassle free traveling with an awesome itinerary - nice that the tour guides are flexible with the schedule and willing to cater the itinerary to the group's interest! Highly recommend WSA to any student with only a weekend to see a city.
