I lived on the other side of the river away from all the commotion of downtown with some of the best people I have ever met. I loved our cozy apartment. Just below us was a cafe by day and a bar by night filled with the most hip people you will ever lay your eyes upon. It was important for me to live outside of the center. Instead of the loud commotion of the excited tourists hustling and bustling about, I felt a sense of calmness across the bridge. We established a nook there just for us where restaurant waiters recognized us, and cat cafe owners practiced Czech with us. I often sat on my windowsill looking down at the trams passing by and then up at the sunset. Untainted calmness.
