Prague

Prague is a strange place. We had been on the train for a long time, looking forward to standing on solid ground. We got off the train, got some krones from the atm, tried to leave, but were completely blown away by the strongest, most forceful, sand and garbage filled wind I have ever seen. You couldn't risk opening your eyes for being blinded. it was horrible.

We persuaded a map out of the transit people, found the right metro line, and got ourselves to our hostel. It was an appartment that someone had emptied of furniture and loaded with bunk beds. It was quaint. it had a kitchen. after dropping our stuff and cleaning up we went for dinner. one of the few times that we treated ourselves to go out. we had the amazing pasta - with vegetables. this continent is not a fan of the legume family and therefore you eat mainly carbs and meat and the cucumber you spent 2€ on. it was great. We got back and we spent time chilling in the kitchen with whomever. I booked hostels and tried to find cheap but good places to stay.

The next day, we went and explored the city, making it all the way up to the castle. It was impressive and the biggest palace complex left in the world. We bought the cheaper ticket and enjoyed the afternoon. We had a planned free walking tour the next day so we wanted to make the day not too intense.

Saturday night was incredibly interesting. We went to the Let's Dance International 2009. I thought it would be artistic modern dancing thing. It was a belly dancing performance. yes, it was startling at first, but after you got used to the idea, it was pretty good. UNTIL the man came out. I think I will forever be scarred. Men were not made to do those sorts of things. But don't worry, Jason, I took a video of him, so that if you do indeed want to discover your inner self, you can do so.

Sunday, we slept way in, chilled out and took complete advantage of having an appartment to ourselves for a couple hours. Neither of us were feeling very good, so it was a perfect opportunity. I was out cold by 21:30. IT was a great weekend.
