Piss me off Prague.

So I made about three videos for everyone to see and had tons of cool shots of me and the crazy pragues I have met over here, but my memories have been stolen, them bitches. My camera grew legs last night and walked off. Its pretty much my fault. I had tons to drink last night trying to keep with the new czech friends and didnt lock my stuff up when I crashed into bed last night. I was thinking that with two locked doors, It should have been safe, but that was not to be. I´m staying a dorm/hostel and this shit is just to be expected I guess.

But the trip goes on and tomorrow I will be in Vienna, Austria and will pick up another camera there. There twice what they are in here in prague versus the USA. But beer only costs 1 dollar here in any bar you goto--so that balances it out.

As for the videos, you will just have to read my narration of them. The one I really wanted to show people was the proologs. The proologs are the russian housing developments built in the 60´s and 70´s to combat the growing burgoies individuality. The apartments are made out of prefabricated cement blocks. Each building of five or six stories is exactly the same as all the rest, which makes them look like prisons. These buildings stretch for miles and miles down the outskirts of prague and is where the low and middle class of society lives. I brang up the proologs last night to the czechs and it was very sore subject to them, cause one of them grew up in there and said the living there was absolute shit. The neighbors walls were sometimes only separated by a then veneer of plywood.

The puppet show last night was great--consisted of the don giovanni opera where the main character just sleeps with all the ladies of the court and gets punished at the end for it. It was pretty funny puppet style. Tonight I am taking it easy and not going out--Im still a bit miffed about the camera.

Tomorrow its Vienna and I will write more then.
