Saturday Night: Saturday was a relaxing day since we had to leave for a trip to Cesky Krumlov Sunday morning. The three flatmates and I decided to try and hit up the place we went the first free night we had in Praha.
We got there. It was closed.
We wandered around for, perhaps, 15 minutes or so. I took some sweet pictures. Then Meghan decided that out of all the restaurants, she wanted Chinese. The rest of us didn't care, so in we went. The restaurant was sort of in a weird strip mall. It was completely empty (as all Chinese restaurants are in Prague).
The food was actually very delicious. I got curry chicken and it was quite good. The spring roll was also fantastic.
The downsides: It costs much more than a typical restaurant. And it took 15-20 minutes for me to finally flag down the waitress so we could get the bill. Mind you, this is a small restaurant with one other patron... Service here sucks, but at least the food was good.
Walked home, snapped a few more pictures, saw a British bachlorette party wearing bunny ears, went home, watched a movie, went to bed.
Explanation of the title: Kendra ordered the "Strange taste Chicken." It was basically sweet and sour chicken, but with a ton of other flavors.
Occupation Opportunity: I've decided to take advantage of a rare business opportunity. I plan on either opening new restaurants or buying up all the current Chinese restaurants. Trends spread like wildfire in the U.S. (look at those stupid cupcake places) and I believe I've gotten winner here. These won't just be Chinese restaurants, these will be Chinese bars. Sure you can get a beer at any Chinese restaurant, but where can you munch on some fortune cookies or wontons while watching terribly dubbed English movies?
Exactly.
More to come from the Dirty K.

Legenda
Last night for dinner Annika, Kendra, and I went to this place we walk by every day. Its literally one block away. Its called Legenda Restauratce and Music Bar. It was a really sweet place. High ceilings, wooden furniture, cool bar upstairs, funky bar downstairs, cheap food, and cheap beer. The beer was the same price as a lounge we frequent, which is pretty cheap (28 crowns or like $1.45). The food was also really cheap. For 109 crowns I got these two huge chicken medallions cooked in potato dough (thats like $5.50). HUGE. FRIED. DELICIOUS. They also had Heinz ketchup, which made them even better. The pictures below represent half of my meal, which I had to take to go because it was so filling.
We will definitely be back there, and hopefully to check out the music bar downstairs.
After that we went to a club called Radost. Its where Rihanna filmed the music video for "Please Don't Stop the Music." Ironically, all the dancers in the video are black; however, in Prague there are hardly any black people. The clubs here are nothing like D.C. clubs. Well, other than the fact that there were 50 year old men at the club... It was a lot of fun though, got to mingle with lots of CET kids. And the best part was that its two blocks from my apartment. Wooo.
While I was dancing on the stage, I was talking to the DJ. She told me to go around cause it was so loud. She let me spin a few tracks, which was pretty sweet. She gave me her card (shes not just a DJ but owns a DJ'ing company) and told me that I had real talent/promise etc. So instead of an artist of drawings, I might just become an artist of techno/hip hop delights. I can see myself in a Bratislavian club, making all the tourists go wild...

Art and Architecture
Today is Friday, which means no classes! Last "Art, Architecture, and Memory" class that we had our prof said to bring in a drawing of a building we like to class on Tuesday. Meghan is also in the class, so today we went out to find buildings. Its freezing out, so we wound up camping out in TGIFriday's. Gross I know, but you gotta do what you gotta do. My drawing is fantastic.
We ran into two classmates on the way back to the flat, and while I was showing them my masterpiece a Czech man noticed it and started screaming in Czech. He whipped out his wallet and laid 2000 korunas in my hands (roughly 100 bucks). Well I quickly ripped out the drawing and gave it him. 2000 crowns will last me for dayyyyyyyyyyyys. I've decided, based on this experience, to drop out of school and take up drawing. Or at least sell a couple more drawings to have a firm base, then once I return to the United States I can start on building my reputation as a master crafter...
