Return to Prague for Rusalka Opera

We made our way back to Prague by train from Dresden. The trip took 2½hrs and it was a smooth and quiet ride. Although we didn't book first class seats, when we boarded the train near the front, we found a cabin seat with only one man in it and asked if we could share the cabin. He agreed happily, then we realised that we can sit in the 1st class seats if the reservation hasn't been made for it, indicated by a light outside the cabin if reserved.

Our train cabin passenger was from Jordan and now living in Virginia, USA. He has lived in Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai and other parts of the world. He's in finance, and is now running a company with his brother. They are trialing working from Europe as all their work is done on the internet, and they can work wherever there's internet connectivity. He said that in his opinion, Germany is underachieving globally as the population lack English proficiency. He was unable to hire some very talented Germans solely due to the lack of adequate English.

It's lovely to be back in Prague again. We spent the afternoon walking around the Jewish quarter and chanced on a lovely St Agnes Monastery where you could wander right through the huge monastery free of charge. We looked in every nook and cranny of the monastery, and the gardens too.

After 2 late nights, we are turning in early tonight.
