Surreal in Prague

[andyfraser]

I'm sitting in a hotel room in Prague. I've had a few Pilsner Urquells and am deaf in one ear from the flight. I'm watching the BBC World News but I just watched an episode of The Professionals dubbed into Czech. I tried watching a Czech game show until I realised I didn't understand the questions and had no idea if I got one right. There's a Czech version of Jeremy Kyle on too but I have less idea what's going on there than I did with the quiz show. Kafka would be proud!

Drink more. Becherovka is your only chance now.

What's Czech for innit?

I guess you already know, but the astronomic clock is rather splendid, and if you're into such things, I really enjoyed Science / Engineering museum.

Rather fine beer.and a beautifull city !

Edit a rather moving sight was the war.memorial for the 1938 to 1945 war - the extra year changes the perspective somewhat

 

[andyfraser]

Czech is too fine a language to have an equivalent to innit. Lol!

Tomorrow I plan to have a coffee at the roof terrace of Hotel U Prince, right opposite the astronomical clock. I love the old town square.

 

[andyfraser]

My ears finally popped! I can hear again!

You should have stuck boiled sweets up your nose and then farted, works every time.

Oh. Where's the concert hall?

It would've been better than just sucking then! I've never found a cure for the pain and deafness of flying. And I love flying!

Namesti Republici next to Powder gate.
I rather regret not paying for the tour.of.the building - superb art nouveau. Going to a gig there would be even better. The building's called.Municipal House.I gather

I presume he means the one in the town(?) hall on the main square. It's been a while since I was in Prague.

Earplanes completely fixed the problem for me!

They are supposed to only be used once but I had no problems using my pair on at least 5 return flights.

I took no chances and left them in throughout the flights.

I've had a few Pilsner Urquells

Get yourself some Kosel Dark.

1) Pilsner is easy to come by in the UK anyway
2) it is far, far better than Pilsner.

Welcome to my world (although I'm more UK based these days thankfully).

Bbc world ain't what it used to be.
