Prague Continued

Have already done 3 nice museums.

"The Museum of COMMUNISM" is brilliant with its mock torture room and grocery shop that carries a single brand. Met two Texans who had just taken the Bar Exam. They sure were happy.

Also visitted the Museum of Spiders and Torture where i noticed a particular medieval fondness of anal torture. YIKES

The Prague Castle with its museum was also nice but too touristy. On a rainy day it was still crowded and, as a cause, i almost got into a fight with an American college student. A group and i were walking up a cylindrical staircase of 280 stairs. It was a narrow pathway, enough room for one and a half of me. This guy and his fellows were walking down and were upset that they had to do so within the circle, where the steps are narrow. He actually stopped next to me and started a conversation with his half-witted dits of a girlfriend that was 4 persons behind him. While he is chatting, our group is holding still so they can pass without incident. So i told him that there are no rules as to how to climb and descend these things, no posted signs, and ignored his silly rebuttel of that's how they climbed by telling him to keep walking. He obliged. Pussy!

People, American young college backpackers, such as himself are the reason why Europeans are weary of American tourists. They consider us rude, ill-informed, and lacking any degree of proper manners. Who can blame them?

"The Kubista (Cubist) Museum" was a real treat and i discovered some works that i fell in love with. I ended up purchasing a numbered replica (42/1000) of Janak's "geometric box" for more than $200. It is amazingly captivating. I simply had to have it. Check it out for yourself.

Last night, after making my expensive purchase, i decided to see an opera. The Prague production of "Don Giovanni" was done at the actual opera house where Mozart himself had premiered it. Great hall, awfull casting of Don. Left at intermission. And to think that i bought a brand new dress-shirt for that evening.

Tonight i will hear an organ concert and call it a night.
