Prague

Sigh... Bonn sweet Bonn... Man am I tired. I just got back from my week long trip to Berlin and Prague. Partied every night and walked around sight seeing every day. I don't even know where to begin. I think I'll go backwards.

Tuesday

Yesterday was our last day in Prague so we did some souvenir shopping and saw a modern art museum. Got to learn some factoids about the Czech Republic. We saw an Italian Opera about this woman who didn't love a man then she did then she was leaving him then she loved him then she died when he came back to her. I dno... I was sleeping during parts of it because by the end of the trip I had little energy.

The group and I went to a bar lounge that supposedly celebs go to when they visit. Had a shot of absinth and bailey's lit on fire. Second time I tried absinthe, didn't really feel anything besides a slight buzz, kind of dissapointing. BUT I bought a bottle at the airport that's supposed to be legit, so ladies if we wanna have an absinthe party when I get back, I'm supplying.

I "SMS"ed Adela's brother, Martin, when I arrived in Prague and he came to the bar we were at. Kristin and I chatted with martine while Mandy finished her drink and flirting with the bartender. There was some brouhaha about the bill and an extra drink we didn't get so he helped us figure that out, nice guy. Then he took three of my friends and me on a driving tour of Prague for a bit. Prague is so beautiful during the day but it's even more so at night with all of the lights. Everybody enjoyed his tour and the ride home.

Monday

Let's see... We got a little tour of Prague. We saw the jewish quarter, the Charles Bridge and that saint's statue with the tongue. He was a priest and would not tell this evil man the queen's confessions so he was thrown into the beautiful river. His remains were deteriorated except for his tongue so yay symbolism, he's a hero. You touch the gold image summarizing the story and it's supposed to bring you good luck. We saw the square with all of the shops, the Paris street?, a monestary that had an awesome library room like in Beauty in the Beast.

Side note... the more I travel Europe, the more I realize how much Disney jacked ideas from it. It really makes me want to go to Disneyland. He exemplified the Disney castle off of one in Germany? I believe. Not sure, but I plan on visiting it. A lot of the stories are German folk stories like Hanzel and Grettle. He must have loved traveling here, I know I do.

I had goolash soup for lunch, very tasty and very czech. We had an awesome Czech traditional dinner too. I had filled pork sirloin with mushroom sauce and little potato balls. Soooooo delicious. And some beer cheese with buttered bread as a starter, Brittany's tourist book told us it's a must to try when in the Czech Republic. Had a X33 beer which is the highest content of alcohol in a beer because of all of the sugar mixed in. It definitely got me and the girls around me a good buzz for dinner.

The troopers of the group and I kept pushing ourselves to go out. So we found a 5 story club under the Charles Bridge. It was pretty lame. Nothing goes on on Mondays and Tuesdays in Prague. There were a bunch of high schooler Euro Trash. The setting itself was pretty cool. Had light up dance floors, big-comfy-white couches, electro music, stripper poles, gogo dancer boxes with light up bars. We took absinthe shots there, man were they disgusting. It was cheap and they wouldn't light it on fire for us. Felt a little buzz but that was it. Again, Prague Absinthe experience not what I expected.

It was lame so we headed back to our hostel in the sketchy neighborhood. Woke up the 4 guys on our trip and pestered them. Felt like middle school but it was fun. We teased them about who they liked and such.

I'm going to stop here and tell more stories later because I'm sure that long posts are boring.
