Street
artists at Prague’s Charles Bridge/Carlos Pueblo
One day, I
ran into a big crowd watching a magic show on a street side just
outside of
the Prague’s Charles Bridge at the Castle’s end. These two young
men were
performing an act which was very hard to imagine, one sit in the air
above a
second one who sit below him on the ground and there was a bamboo
stick
between them. People were checking the big space gap between them
and donated
money to the box for their amazing of such magic. I didn’t donate
any as you
knew that I lost a wallet in Belgium , my debt card had no chip
for European
banks to access my bank account, and I was strained in cash in
Europe.
There are many kinds of street artist performing at the Bridge and the
Old town
area in Prague and I believe that has been more than one thousand
years history.
I have been
attracted by street artists ever since my childhood time at my home
town in
Taiwan during the Lunar New Year, certain old town in the capital city of
Taipei, and lately
beautiful cities around the world. In Taiwan at that time some
half century
ago, vender sold Chinese herb medicine with some Kung Fu
demonstration,
of course, along with many famous local eatery. This is very common
even now in
all the old town streets all over the world. Street artists are proprietors
and doing
business on the streets with some kinds of permit from the city authority.
Streets are
their platform like nowadays Google’s blog, Facebook, and Line etc. for
writers interested.
There are
musicians playing some kinds of instruments. There are some fine artists
who can do
the portrait life with a fee of course, you can see how happy of the
customers’
face. These are some of my favorite during my world travel. Charles Bridge
is one of
them.
