Yesterday we embarked upon our favorite activity in a foreign land- Free walking tour. These are immense! basically we go around with a tour- who is never from the country that we are touring- and they show us all the cool stuff. Basically our tour guide was name Mike and he was quite good. Hge had an abundance of information, was Canadian, but since he lived in Switzerland for the last 15 years had quite an accent. We also enjoyed his tours becuase he didn't really censor himself; if he felt the story needed an F word he'd jsut go ahead and say it. Wonderful.

So we learned about Prague and its past, about its buildings, and a lot about the religions that make up the city and country. Basically this is a crazy history with a lot of Nazi and communist business. What is really cool is hopw you can kind of see who was ruling at certain times based on building styles and statues. My favourite are some of the communist buildings who show miners and farmers with huge loads on their backs smiling away- WRONG, these people were tired ass and certainly not smiling silly commies!

After teh tour we went up to the castle. The biggest gothic castle in Europe. It was good, but we didn't see a whole butt load because we were exausted and I jsut lost 500 crown (about twenty bucks) like the ass hat that I am. No biggie though we sat outside at a lovely pizzaria and re-energized.

This morning we took a jaunt down to the communist museum. The main reson we went were because of teh posters that it had posted around the city advertising it. Basically they read 'get intimate with history' then showed a picture of Stalin in a bathrobe with ladies fondeling him. Or it simply read 'The communist museum' and had a picture of a Russian stacking docll with fangs. It was a pretty good museum- tonnes of history and Staliny things, but I think the best part are the posters.

Today we a bored a train and head to Berlin!
