Prague so far

Sooooooooo... things here in Prague seem to follow the old pattern. I stay in the bar till the wee hours, and even if I don't the drunken kraut teens roaming the hallways will ensure I don't fall asleep till 4-5 AM. I muster up the stamina to walk maybe an hour in town, then go back to nap, then have dinner and go hang in the bar again. Sad thing is, I love it like this.

I've made some new friends, both among the staff (new, female bartender!) and the guests... Saturday I even got to plug my mp3 player into the sound system and play DJ for most of the evening. I was heavy on the Springsteen, but also had a good mix of rock and oldies - U2, Creedence, Tom Petty, Rainmakers etc. Had a blast!

The chocolates I brought from Norway (5.5kg=12 pounds) are a sure and easy way of making friends. People who've tasted the stuff before are crazy for it, and I have no problems getting new people hooked. I need to email the producers back in Norway and tell them to go international, the response I'm getting from people down here is just incredible.

Some pics, mainly from Mala Strana (plus a sunset from Holesovice, just outside the hotel):

Pretty streets and buildings everywhere.


I'm not a fan of modern art, but on the other hand I very much feel you can't go wrong with penguins.


Purdiness everywhere.






This is the tower at the trade fair. Looks like a Martian spaceship or something...




Full Prague set here, more pics will be added.
