Interesting place they have here at club Andel (Angel). An apartment
built for 12 people, mostly international students working abroad for a time. I met Raphael for the first time, an Australian American who speaks fluent German. What are the chances? He will be returning to Sydney University in a few months to finish his Bachelours in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. Incidentally, it looks like Michela will be attending Sydney Law school starting in July to get her Masters in Criminology. Oh yeah, in case you are wondering about the picture, Raph does Indian dancing …Anyway, back to Prague. Very nice city with beautiful buildings and architecture. Check out Fred and Ginger, so called because the buildings look like they are dancing.
The Old town is full of markets, souvenir shops and artists selling their paintings. I have a couple of the Charles Bridge. In the centre is the astronomical clock. Apparently they blinded the artist who designed the clock so that he couldn’t reproduce his work anywhere else. Lovely …
We took a day trip to see the famous spa town of Karlovy Vary. They have a walkway where it
is illegal to run, skate, or be stressed in anyway. You must relax and walk leisurely. Along the side of the walkway are various springs containing the “healing” mineral water. There are special cups with a spout in the handle for drinking the mineral water *cough* tastes like crap *cough*. In fact, the water tastes so good, that they have to stuff their mouths with special “spa wafers” just to get rid of the taste. Either that, or they mix it up with alcohol to make a specialty drink called Becherovka. I have evidence of Michela tasting it for the next time she claims that she “doesn’t drink alcohol”.
