Prague

Chelsea and I at the gardens in Prague

We learned a thing or two on our trip to Prague with Hannes and Sib. 

• When one of your traveling members says she feels ill, it's a good idea to bring a plastic bag...just in case.
• Driving to Prague is efficient. Unless there is trafic on a Friday afternoon, then you won't make it there until 1am.
• If you meet a hostel owner named Roman, he'll be a pretty awesome guy. 
• Peter from New York is also cool. He'll lend you milk for your coffee and tell you how splendid life is. He's a kindergarten teacher, but don't let that fool you. He's a bad ass. 
• People in Prague speak German. 
• When they translate menus from Czech to English, they will most likely say weird things like "roasted fatback" and "Yeast fruit dumplings with cottage cheese."
• There are more KFCs in Prague than McDonalds.
• Don't touch the shiny dog plaque at the base of the statue on Charles Bridge. It's bad luck.
• The word for "muffin" in Czech is "muffinky."
