The Advantage Hostel. Nice place. Wicked salami sandwiches for breaky.

Kafka's grave.


The Golden Tiger, best beer hall in Prague. Former Czech president Vaclav Havel once brought Bill Clinton there for a delicious mug of local pilsner. It's true cause I saw the pic on the wall. Clinton looked like he was up to something. Sadly, Havel died while we were in Prague and I know he was loved cause there were mega candle light vigils for him all over town. Mega candle light vigils I tells ya.

Christmas Carp in Prague

The favourite Christmas meal in Czech Republic is good ol' river carp. Come holiday time, the downtown core is dotted with fishmongers who will club a live carp for you, fillet it and put it in a plastic bag ready for your holiday feast. Me and B went to a fancy jazz restaurant in Old Town Square on Christmas eve and I tucked into a juicy carp fillet the size of a baby's arm. It was soft and boney, also like a baby's arm. B demonstrated her wisdom by ordering the schnitzel. Our waiter's name was Radek and we accompanied our meal with some nice Czech wine. Twas a fine Christmas.

Of all mongers, I think fishmongers are best.
