Hello friends and folkies,
I'm in Prague right now writing on a Debian system running IceWM interface, which is really really wierd for a internet cafe to have. Anyway I went to amsterdam on sunday through wednesday morning and it was intense and we didnt really accomplish all that much. I can say I think I'd be happy to never smoke pot again. The food was so cheap compared to Dublin through, it was a great cause for celebration. The weather was total shit but the city was still incredibly beautiful & so were all the people. I kept feeling like I was being looked down upon by dutch people on the issue of class, they're all so uberwealthy and immaculately dressed, but not in a hip way whatsoever. The hostel was ok--but the people there were such idiots, like totally self absorbed into the pretention of backpacking and traveling. The employees (all travlers themselves) kept walking in on us without knocking at really annoying hours. One night this really annoying dude opened our door and asked if we were blowing lines off each others asses at 11pm at night when we were all in bed. Go figure.
But now i'm in prague and its really really beautiful here and reasonably cheap--went to the jewish ghetto today which really tore me up inside. One of the old synagogues walls had entirely been covered with the names of all the czech jews to die in the halocaust--80,000. The top floor was childrens drawings from the camps themselves which I could barely stand through. I think we're going to have to wait a day before going to the camp of terizenstadt.
Tomorrow I believe we're going to a czech monster truck rally, which is going to be awesome. I'm just taking a break before dinner to catch up with internety things. Oh yeah-nian btw the monte cristos here are about four dollars each if you want me to buy you a box and mail them off to you. Let me know.
Missing everyone, as always.
