Passport: Christmas Prague

Bohemian Christmas in Prague serves as an alternative plan for those who prefer to steer clear from traditional Christmas nations such as Germany and Austria. However, Eastern Europe Christmas came with sub-zero atrocity this year as an unexpected severe snow storm chilled Europe beyond freezing point. Not exactly a city filled with a warm Christmas atmosphere (I witnessed an "Anti-Santa" campaign on the late night streets, for a moment I thought the demonstraters were really going to set a life-sized Santa figure ablaze!), the economic budget that comes with Prague's attractive Czech Koruna exchange rate may be the deal sealer especially for those who have to splurge most of their dough on holiday shopping.

Highly recommended for those who are sourcing for alternate Christmas holiday destinations without massive pocket-emptying. "Czech" it out this Christmas!
