praha take 2 and simon community...

howdy all,

well, just came back from a lovely lovely weekend in prague. it was meant to be a trip in the winter time to see the snow that was in all the postcards when i was there in July. However, there was no snow (stupid stupid global warming) and only lots of rain. BUT, i had a nice weekend. Just winding down from a busy week and enjoying relaxing for a weekend in another city in another country. Oh and reading up on my history work that i am teaching... Medieval England, Tudors and Stuarts and Black History . My time in Prague cost me £24.83, not bad for a weekend away (that didn't include flights and busses in London, but was everything in Czech Republic... all transport, food, accomodation and even a theatre).

The theatre was a black light theatre of 'Cats'. Well, here was i thinking it would be a Lloyd-Webber replica, but, it was just a Prague take off about the lives of the stray cats of Praha. Mind you, besides the painful music, it was a pretty good performance. A lot of it was done with one hand in white gloves making up the body of the cat and then the other hand had a cat mask singing... and they danced with the hand-puppet cats. It was quite clever, even if not that exciting. An experience. and a TINY theatre... probably only room for 50 people.

anyways, i'm just crapping on (as usual), so
loving - fried cheese burgers (where the burger is just a paddy of cheese crumbed and deep fried). How good is cheese!!!!!
- 'please, hello, please, may i help you please??'... very polite! ha

hating - loud obnoxious (especially drunk) groups of english guys thinking they are God's gift to everyone.

unsure - all the tourists from so many different countries, accents of which i have never heard before.

then monday, was my second night for street caf and streetwork. I had some awesome conversations with some people at street caf, even getting there with remembering peoples' names. This week i was handing out bikkies and just listening to people, and chatting. Then wandered from Oxford Circus to Marble arch giving out sandwiches, coffee and rollies. Oh and there was this one guy who was an awesome artist. He had so much to say and i think we just sat there chatting for like 15mins, in the cold and wind... GREAT.

anyways... I tried to get a bit arty in my photos, hope you enjoy them... if they can do it on the postcards, then why can't i do it?? i think they are pretty cool... just pics of prague/praha.



crazy babies on a tv tower,
