Apparently they fahrt here in Prague too!

The National Museum

The Opera House

The Mucha Museum. I couldn't get them to give me a student discount so I didn't bother going in.

How's this for juxtaposition? The Museum of Communism right next to McDonald's. Marx and Lenin are spinning in their graves right now.

This was a police car just outside of the prison where I spent the night. 6 to a cell, crowded, cramped ... overall a crappy night.

A cell in the prison where I stayed. It is now a hostel. This is Vaclav Havel's former cell! Come on guys, did you actually think that I would've spent the night in a real jail?

And the cavity search was uncalled for!

National Theatre at night. Sitting at the base of a monument, drinking Czech beer and basking in this. Life is good.
