Kutna Hora

The bone church

This Saturday we went on a trip with the school to Kutna Hora, the Bone Church. The church was constructed centuries ago, but some random guy decided to unbury a bunch of bones from victims of the Plague and make crazy structures on the inside. It is suspected that there are enough bones in the church to comprise over 40,000 people. It was a weird feeling to be inside. I didn't take any photos but Josh did, so these are all his photos.

I went out to Chinese food last night and it was actually really good, and ofcourse cheap. I accidently crashed a boys night out dinner...whoops. There are three little Chinese places near our Kolej (dorm), and they all smell so good when you pass by...
