It's my Prague-ative



               The weekend after we returned from Paris, we found ourselves heading to Prague.
                     Is this my life?
                Czechoslovakia?
          Don't know how to
      Format this...
   Sorry

I LOVED Prague, the city was really cool and energetic--I walked more in two days than I did all week in Paris. Lots of hills. Lots of fun. Lots of incredible views...

From our walk up to the castle


View of famous Charles bridge--it was stunning

SO MANY CHUCKS up by the metronome



My FAVORITE part about Prague, though, was the John Lennon wall

Us


Every year the wall is repainted. Really cool.

My second favorite part of Prague was either the baby statues/modern art exhibit we saw, or this AWESOME memorial to the victims of communism in Czechoslovakia.

Every few steps the statue becomes less and less, so powerful-equally terrifying. 


The four of us (FEARSOME FOURSOME!) went on two bar crawls, one each night we were in Prague. We stayed in Hostel Elf, and met SO many people. The second night I felt like homecoming queen at some dumb football game because so many people knew my name and were so excited to see me. Now I'm back to anime-nerd status, but I had my moment of popularity. 

WHY do people jump in our picture? Ahh well...

"The best night you will never remember"...perhaps too fitting





ALRIGHT. How to explain the night life? Our first bar crawl was the Clock Tower Bar Crawl. I didn't have the best night. But that's ok. Here are some pictures from Friday night with ambiguous captions so my mom doesn't overreact.

Absinthe. A Czech staple, ja?

I LOVE LAURA

I LVOE CASSIE

This guy was from Georgia, and I felt compelled to get a picture with him because Scarlett and Mammy and Oh! Ashley...


Things are getting a little odd

Stairs are hard

Meditating on the texture of lentil vomit

Oh boy
As you can see, the first night was neither here nor there. What? That made no sense.

The second night was much more fun. We ended our bar crawl at the largest dance club in central Europe--five floors:
1. Oldies
2. R&B
3. Don't Remember, if we're being honest
4. ?
5. Chill Out

Ok, ok, ok. Laura remembers the floors accurately (maybe because she's weird and favors dancing to the Beach Boys in between Li'l Wayne tracks and sitting in an igloo?)

1. Ice Bar
2. Dance music
3. Oldies
4. Hip hop
5. Chill out

Nicole was on the oldies floor 99% of the time, and the name of the floor not only describes the kind of music that was played, but by and large the people who were breakin' it down...or rather breakin' down. They were old.

Crawlin'

Fun

Need to remember that I NEVER look cool when I dance. Ever.


So I mentioned how many people i met the second night--of those people tons were from the states and studied in Salzburg! We're meeting up with them on Thursday at O'Malley's. SMALL WORLD.

AND NOW...

The Bar crawls as told from Megan's thumb:


Weeeee! We're havin' a great time--What's up guys? Glad to be here, nice to see ya! I love poppin' up for a carefree thumbs-up. Tonight's gonne be great


Hehe! Still goin' strong. I'm not even cold, despite Megan not dressing me in mittens. Heeheeheee!


Now I'm pressed up against yet another shot glass--wish Megan would stop grabbin' these, though they are freeeee!!!


It's hard to hold onto the railing when Megan's being an idiot--Hahahhaahhehehehhe!!!

Now I'm holding Nicole's hand as she runs me to the toilet! Weeee! and I'm clutching a toilet--Weeee! hope Megan remembers to wash me...

Nope. Come on, Megan! I don't ask for much. Weeee!

THE NEXT MORNING



The flash makes it difficult to see the bruise blemishing me. Owww! 


Annnndd I'm back, with the index finger--weeeee!

Sorry my thumbs are so annoying, but they're in cahoots with my fingers and are typing for me...

WHAT WAS THAT?

STOP MEGAN. Stop DOING THINGS LIKE THIS.

ok.


Swans are terrifying. Here, eat my tortillia. Oh! and yes, I know I look like a Finnish schoolboy/I only brought one sweater on accident/don't be mean!

Old pic. Me at Fountianblau with the Fountainblau cat! Missin' Kit.



Well. This post did not go at all how I thought it would.
Wrote some blog material on the train ride home. may post it later, but you'll judge me even more than you already are for that whole thumb-thing.
