Bratislava, Slovakia

What fun! My American friends, Brian and Eve, came to Bratislava with me.
We participated in a pub crawl (tons of fun), wandered around the city, enjoyed the Christmas markets (what amazing [and cheap!] food!) and ate sushi and each of us got a foot massage (aaah, so good).

Praha (or Prague)


This weekend in Prague was so much fun! I traveled by myself (first time doing that!) and I loved it! I could do whatever I wanted, stay at a place longer, go spontaneously into museums, plans my days however I wanted. There were a lot of perks. No real downfalls.

Things I did:

2 tours.
2 museums. (Museum of Sex & the Museum of Torture) I recommend both
1 black light theatre production is a "result of the Czech traditions of Black Theatre, which combines dance, music, and pantomime to tell an exciting story."

Pictures:




















































ok, my favorite picture is at the bottom, and it's the picture of the masses of people looking at the astronomical clock in Prague. It was rated the #1 most disappointing tourist attraction by some official website but still, hundreds of people gather every hour to lift up their cameras and film the "event". Instead of taking a picture of the clock, I took a picture of the people.

Been sick

My voice is still gone, my throat still hurts, I'm still coughing and sneezing a lot, and I can't quite see out of my left eye but I think I'm on the upswing. I ate about 8 oranges today, so all this Vitamin C has to be good for me.

It's pouring rain in Switzerland, so I'm off to Prague instead! Be back Monday night.

Don't think I've given up on Switzerland...I'll try to go to there in a couple of weeks.

Hope everyone is healthy
