Oh yeah, and there was a stage with rock bands playing bad covers of Christmas carols in front of the boring building. There is also something called the Prague Meridian marked in brass in the square. We couldn't figure out the significance of it though. One advantage of the touristic aspect of Prague was a very good English language bookstore, which we visited and picked up a couple of interesting titles and sold them our copy of The Hobbit. Something to remember about the Czech Republic.
Postage is VERY cheap.
The Czech coins were pretty cool, especially the multicolor 50 crown coin. There were also some pretty bizarre signs on the banks. This was bizarre for a couple of reasons. We thought it was weird. We did the Prague things.
