Prague. A résumé

Friday evening. I am back from my 11 day Prague school on renormalisation. Becchi was the lecturer. "The "B" from BRST".

So what can I tell you?

It is the epicentre for today's mass tourism. This is not exaggerated. It's still pretty cheap, especially cocktails, and food in general. So there's lots of youngsters. And lot's of retired people. They can get really rude. One couple tried to push me when trying to get into the tube. Can you believe this, a 70 year old guy pushing me aside??






Our arrival at the hostel. So it was Monday evening. Alex, me and four Croatian guys arrive and tell the lady at the reception our names. We expect rooms to be booked for us.

The lady says that she's got nothing free, least of all for 10 days. but she can give us a room for tonight (20 euro!!) . We take it of course. What else should we do?

The room hasn't been cleaned after the last person leaving. There were old cucumbers, beers, pickled cucumbers and other food lying around. It was really, really dirty. And I had real trouble to keep my countenance. i do pitty those erasmus students who have to live under such conditions for a year or so.

solution to that problem: that stupid cow had been highly incompetent. of course, there were rooms reserved for us. and they were clean. puuhh. that was a relive.





the very right tower was mine. hhmmm. plattenbautenwüste.





one of the best things in prague: TESCO'S. I haven't been to tesco's since i left swansea. open 0-24. gorgeous.

what more: the national gallery looks like a prison. also inside. and is not very exciting either.

what more? i don't know what the person responsible for busses in prague was thinking when deciding upon the following issue. they have this incredible noise when the doors close. some extremely loud, high tone warning you. i wonder how many heart attacks are caused by these alarm signals every day. too much stress in the morning is not good for you.



NB: This sign shows you the way to the museum of communism (which is not very interesting one should mention)

my wonderful trips through capitals of former european countries is not over: next week bratislava. i have never been there although it's only 50 km away from vienna. good thing: i can stay over night at my place. very good.


some other events "recently": my youngest sister finished her a-levels. at the moment she's boozing in turkey. great.
