Since my last post, I went and did some exploring. I left KFC and on my way back ran into a protest. I have no idea what they were protesting or why. Yet another reason I wish I knew the language. While they were on one corner, there was a group of people with hay bales on the corner diagonally from them. At first I thought that maybe the two were related, but nope. After that little adventure, I went back to my hostel, dropped off my computer, and headed for Wenceslav Square. It was slightly crowded, and most of it was tourists. I wandered around for a bit and happened to find the Communism Museum. If you ever find yourself in Prague, don’t feel bad if you miss it. It was informative, since I didn’t know much about Czechoslovakia after WWII. The best part was the gift shop, since they’ve made up all these propaganda looking posters. I bought some postcards because they’re a lot cheaper and easier to get back with. They did however, have free maps. I like free maps. After that I made my way back to the hostel. Afternoons here are brutal and I’m drenched in sweat before I realize it. Luckily there’s no one to make me feel bad if I take a slightly longer shower. I think right now the thing I’m missing most is flat, level ground. Never thought I’d say it, but I actually kind of miss South Dakota. Not only is the ground not flat anywhere here, the cobblestones on the sidewalks are (or at least look like) marble, which is kind of slippery. I also miss the good German bread I was so used to eating. I tried looking for a grocery store today, but with no luck. I did find the water in the pop machine though. That was exciting. It’s so noisy here! There’s constantly police or ambulances going by with their sirens on full blast. I’m not that surprised though, after seeing how people drive here. At least in Germany it’s organized chaos. Everyone knows how they should drive there and it works. It may work here as well; I haven’t seen any accidents yet. It just seems a lot more out of control here.

Well, I don't have much else to say. Sitting at KFC really makes me want the buffet, but they don't have that here. Add that to my list of food I want when I get back. On second thought, I'll just warm up some lard and call it good.
