We took a tour every day of the city except Saturday. The first day after our tour I went to lunch at a Czech cafeteria with Bruce’s parents and Kasia and Cassandra. Basically they eat a lot of fat. Every day they had street performers on Charles bridge, the really famous bridge of Prague. So I listened to a lot of bands perform there. We also found the first non-smoking café which was really cool because you could play checkers and chess while you drank your hot chocolate. I spent a total of about 3 hours in that café during the entire trip. One of the nights Cassandra, Alisha, and I went to a café/pub and watched live jazz. The band consisted of a piano, bass, and the drums. Maybe Spence could be in a jazz band and just play at restaurants whenever he wants. I’m pretty sure they made a lot of money, because it cost some money just to get in and see them. One day we went and climbed up to the top of a tower. It was an amazing view of the entire city.
I hung out a lot with Cassandra and Kasia on this trip. I also figured out a lot of Czech while I was there. The first night I had to figure out what peanuts was by going to the grocery store and looking at a lot of labels. By then I had figured out a bunch of other words too. So now Kasia and Cassandra think I am a genius because I can figure a language out without ever taking any classes or anything. So I am pretty proud of that, because I didn’t think it was really that cool, but I could read a lot more than anyone else in our group. Although when we got back to Vienna I felt like an idiot again. The dialect here is so strange and thick.
Scenes from mission impossible and the bourne identity were filmed here so I guess that makes me almost famous. right? ok not really, but it is cool.
