Prague (Czech: Praha) is the capital and largest city in the Czech Republic, the 14th largest city in the European Union and the historical capital of Bohemia. Situated in the north-west of the country on the Vltava river, the city is home to about 1.3 million people, while its metropolitan area is estimated to have a population of 2.6 million. The city has a temperate climate, with warm summers and chilly winters.
Prague has been a political, cultural and economic centre of central Europe complete with a rich history. Founded during the Romanesque and flourishing by the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque eras, Prague was the capital of the Kingdom of Bohemia and the main residence of several Holy Roman Emperors, most notably of Charles IV (r. 1346–1378). It was an important city to the Habsburg Monarchy and its Austro-Hungarian Empire. The city played major roles in the Bohemian and Protestant Reformation, the Thirty Years' War and in 20th-century history as the capital of Czechoslovakia, during both World Wars and the post-war Communist era.
Prague is home to a number of famous cultural attractions, many of which survived the violence and destruction of 20th-century Europe. Main attractions include Prague Castle, Charles Bridge, Old Town Square with the Prague astronomical clock, the Jewish Quarter, Petřín hill and Vyšehrad. Since 1992, the extensive historic centre of Prague has been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.
The city has more than ten major museums, along with numerous theatres, galleries, cinemas and other historical exhibits. An extensive modern public transportation system connects the city. Also, it is home to a wide range of public and private schools, including Charles University in Prague, the oldest university in Central Europe.
Prague is classified as an "Alpha −" global city according to GaWC studies and ranked sixth in the Tripadvisor world list of best destinations in 2016. Its rich history makes it a popular tourist destination and as of 2017, the city receives more than 8.5 million international visitors annually. Prague is the fourth most visited European city after London, Paris and Rome.

I wanted the board eraser & the chalk & I was hoping the pieces of chalk were all separate, but it's all one piece. The clock is actually a magnet, & the pen is just all one piece of plastic, and once again, I am befuddled by a piece. The teeny green thing is shaped like a car, but it doesn't have any details. It's also a lot smaller than everything else, & doesn't seem to go with the rest of the set. The only thing I can think of is maybe it's an eraser for the pen? Other than that, I don''t know what it's for.
This cast iron clock, made by Glasgow foundry Walter Macfarlane & Co, was presented to the town by local business man James Hastings to commemorate the coronation of George V and Queen Mary. It has been returned to its original 1912 site in Effingham Square as part of a town centre redevelopment scheme.
GONE--SO FUN! These replica railway clocks hand from a bracket and have a clock mechanism on each side, so you can set to different time zones if you wish. Both are powered by normal AA batteries and easy to access through a slot in the bottom.

I must govern the clock, not be governed by it. - Golda Meir
Time goes by so fast and I don't like it.
This art-deco clock is to be seen on the face of the Memorial Hall in Wirksworth. The hall was opened in April 1935 as the Cavendish Cafe and Dance Hall alongside a the new cinema. I am unable to say whether the clock is contemporary with the opening of the building, but it certainly looks the part.
We were away on vacation at a resort down south last week. Using the resort's clock we were able to keep up with our busy schedule of activities.
This clock is in our living room. On the hour it makes the sound of the bird for that hour. Many of these birds live around us. I am constantly hearing the 7 o’clock bird outside.
I took my little camera and recorded each of the bird sounds. You can hear each one by clicking the note on the photo. They are all low quality files but at least you can get an idea what they sound like.
The little piece of tape that is at 12 o’clock is to slightly block the light on the light sensor. This sensor controls how loud the bird sounds are. In a completely dark room you don’t hear it at all. That little piece of tape has the effect of lowering the volume.
