So I'm now going to Prague for 10 days in July! I can't wait.. my sister is studying there for a month at the university for a writer's course (she is a poet) and I'm going to go visit her.
Any one have any good stories from Prague? Where to go..what to do? I'm going to buy the book and read up on it of course- but sometimes word of mouth makes for the best recommendations.

Taste a few for me and have fun.
* Patent leather shoes cost $4/pair
* Christal cost less than a song and was of very high quality
* The exchange rate on the street was around 40 to 1
* The border guards were not fools and should be treated with proper respect
* There was a flag store there where we bought a Soviet flag the size of a Buick and an East German flag that covered the living room ceiling
* I was able to pay for a taxi ride with three American cigarettes
The secret police were quite active, too, so discretion was the word.
But again, this was over 25 years ago. Maybe someday I'll write about it.
Hey you know AdGuy always gets the last word! ;)
