Boom-sh-boom! Czech It Out!

Ok,
So Prague is incredible. I can't begin to explain everything that we have seen and done, but here is a bullet list:

-Saw so many events/exhibitions/performances associated with the Prague Quadrennial (the main reason for coming to Prague..it is a HUGE theatre festival that happens once every four years). We saw Peter Handke's, Offending the Audience and a show called Me Here, You There which was a kind of accordian dialogue/duet/lighting experience.
-Met up with a friend from high school who now goes to CMU.
-Took an awesome walking tour of the city.
-Went on a pub crawl.
-Attended a screening of an experiment (part of the Quadrennial) where 12 people stayed in the basement of a building where they used to print the Communist newspaper. Then we met the participants IN the building, saw where they slept, and got to chat with them a bit.

We also did much more (such as dressing up as a cheerleader and a slutty Mrs. Clause (photos to come) as part of the PQ...), but time is short as it is our last night in the city and I am paying for internet right now.

We are off to London tomorrow. Our trip is nearing its last leg. It is kind of sad, but also exciting. In a weird way it is the same excitement that I had before coming to Europe. It is interesting though. I guess it is because once I get back there will still be adventures to have, but adventures that more immediately contribute to what I want to do (Where am I moving to in NYC? Who am I living with? When am I moving? Where will I work?....you know the drill...."the times, they are a' changing," and that is really exciting.)
