WELCOME

Welcome to Trail of Gems!

I toyed with calling this blog "On the Crumb Trail" for that fairytale feeling of a Journey Through Unknown , but decided that this was created not for me to find my way back, but to recommend inspiring, cozy, budget-friendly resources and havens I have found along the way.

These pages contain listings under these major categories:

See + Do - sights, activities, must-experiences
Stay - accommodation I'd send my dearest friends to
Ride - modes of transport to ramble, roam and gallivant at will
Eat - as if I wouldn't have something to say on this subject!
Plan - extensive libraries of researched advice
Speak - basic language skills to order food, say thank you, etc.
Act - collaborate, volunteer and cultivate awareness

Enjoy, respond and love life!

Prague: Club Cross

I bet you ain't seen nothin' like this before! Cross Club is a flourishing night venue that draws patrons for its music, its Art Sundays but most of all... its wildly unique decor. A wall made of computer parts seems to communicate with its subtle light display. Countless rotating, moving surfaces with blinking lights are like cogs and wheels in a giant machine created by a skilled mechanic cum fervent visionary. Past this apocalyptic set-up you climb metal steps to the second level of seating and observe the crowd, the moving display above your table, occasionally remarking for the umpteenth time: "Wow, man..." to your friends. It takes a few laps around this flashing tangle of passages and niches to orient yourself between the main performance rooms, the huge outdoor patio and the rest.

Entry often free!
