Sonata Prague

... of the iron curtain. I luckily got to see a bit of the countryside away from Prague. It still has a way to go to become truly past the past regime. It will take time, but as the country becomes wealthier, no doubt the affluence will spread to the far reaches of the state.

On a whole, I have truly enjoyed my time in Prague, but it is time for the actual trip - the Mad Dash around Europe.

More to come!

... it all happened in 1383, and the statue of the saint was erected in 1683...   now the legend goes - if you touch the statue while making your wish (but there is a limit - only one wish in a lifetime!) - it will definitely come true...so the statue is always surrounded by hopefuls...and you can tell that some people take it very seriously leaving nothing to chance - traveling here from afar, praying fervently ...

... the hostel where we devoured the ever so healthy fried cheese. Later that night Siho slept walked off the top bunk and was sitting cross legged on the floor yelling that the leaves were attacking her. I luckily tried to save her by risking my own life climbing down from the top bunk that I was paranoid of falling off in the first place. The next morning we had a good laugh about the craziness from the night before and it was a fun way to say farewell to Prague.

... at Andel around 6:30. It was a lot of fun (even with Vanda's popcorn aversion) and afterwards we went to McDonald's where i got a flurry and Andi a cheeseburger and Vanda a cheeseburger and D'Arcy a Pilsner Urquell. Just before the movie he had had a ginormous sub that he could only eat half of so he wasn'y hungry. After the movie we went to a pub in the area that belonged to a friend of there's. I drank water and they ...

... some photos of the wedding we are going to and I will post them up on my personal blog to show the world. I have never stayed in a hotel in Prague so far, this time we will. I want a bit of space and to treat our break as a holiday - we go there so often that we normally stay with friends - but everyone will be going to the wedding and we all need a bit of space - well I think we all do.

... do excutions here, but luckily its been about 300 years since the last one. From the bridge you get a spectacular view of Prague Castle. Which is a nice castle to visit. One can lose themselves there for a good five hours without realizing how much time has past! One of the most magnificant sights is the St. Vitus Cathedral. Construction on the church began in 1344 and didn't finish til 1929! And that my friends is all I have time for now. Hope you enjoyed!

... la grosse pinte tourne autour de 2$...(outch :P). Le coût de la vie est très bas lorsque nous nous trouvons à l'extérieur des zones hautement touristiques. Autres faits : C'est officielement un concours de tenter de prédire le nombre de gars qui vont te demander d'aller dans leur club de danseuse entre le Old Town Square et l'appartement passé minuit!! Nyhahahah, Frank à gagner... Bon, sur ce ;) Next... Copenhagen Chow!

Hey.... Hey.... Look at me arn't I Kewl! The infamous phrase that is now used by the all the staff and guests at Hostel Elf in Prague. Why are they all saying it now? Well, after a massive night out in Prague that boasts to have more clubs per square kilometre then anywhere else. All the other hostel guests were sitting around having breakfast and discussing what museums they were off to marvel in for the day. Mr Kewl who hasn't really been out alot in full ...

+ found Eric, good to see his American ass hadn't gotten thrown into jail yet + Really rainy outside, went and had a few beers, saw Xmen, it was pretty good + Met some cool Romanians, David and Yana, and went out with them and the crazy Aussie guy Chris. + we got *********d and the bill was 377 Crown for 5 of us, 100 Crown is about 5 US dollars, so the bill was less than 20 bucks total, crazy + pretty cool place, people just smoking herb at their tables

... was enjoying. Here are some photos from my restful days there. Ahh... it was a memorable time. I already know I'll return someday; it was just that good. Until then I'm looking out for few more special cities like Prague. Ones that can slow me down and bring life back into focus.
