Candy Store

Weekend Miser // June 1, 2019

My past few days were spent getting used to the city of Prague. However, now that I am a little more comfortable with doing things like utilizing public transportation, I have started exploring more. Even if I don’t go far, it’s easy to find something to do in this city. Most of my exploring has been in areas I frequent: the space around my apartment, Old Town Square, Wenceslas Square, etc. I’ve started to stray from my beaten path a bit and wander into stores along the street more often, seeing the city with less tunnel vision than I had previously. One of the stores I wandered into was this candy store. I enjoyed watching families with their small children filter in and out of the store. Parents would fill up to-go bags with treats that their children begged for, and soon I realized that I wanted to do the same. There were no prices listed anywhere, so I was nervous walking up to the counter with my bag of goodies. Honestly, I had no idea how much I had spent, and at the time it didn’t really matter. I was shocked when my total came out to be only about $10. I still haven’t fully gotten used to how much cheaper certain things are here; this is a perfect example of that. In Austin, the bag of candy I bought would have been upwards of $20 to $30. Not only was the store adorable, but it was also immensely affordable.
