The walls are green and I feel golden.
What time has brought to me in the form of gratitude has finally established as a clear thought: I love Prague. Yes; this is the first time your very own Papa Shanghai is disclosing a location but it is just too much to pass up on. Also, you still won’t find me here. Maybe I am the waiter, maybe the bouncer.
The subliminal message that is spread over this city is filled with history, culture and longing. Longing for independence, longing for its place in the world. It has faced many struggles and you can see that. Just as every single thing on this planet, Prague has been shaped by its environment.
I am becoming cheerfully melancholic when I sit and soak in to this adopted place of home. As in many cases, facing challenges is easier together, even just connecting passively. Feeling that we are all struggling at it. Struggling with our place in life, the inevitability of failure or finding connections.
So let Prague pierce through the thick skin you have built up, sit in a coffee house, Café, see how people are struggling, celebrating, suffering, winning. Just like you. You are welcome.
The Coffee Houses are the living rooms of this city.
