The tailbone is creepy

prague is amazing.


think about that.


it is so beautiful. because czech got over taken before ww2 got too far in, it is very untouched. i went to an 11th century church. there werent as many people in it as notre dame, so the environment wasnt as crazy with people and it seemed airier. i made the mistake of wanting to go up to the top. which i didnt realize how much of a pain it would be. 287 spiral staircase steps. and the night before i went out and tried shots of czech vodka which tastes like christmas. but all the one-way spiraling was out of control. in the staircase, it was two-way and at one point, you hit a dark spot, where you are trying to feel your way up and around without falling down or knocking someone else over. but the view at the top... wow. just wow. coming back down definately wasnt as bad as up. i got wicked lost that day too, which is always good. but there is some sweet people in this hostel. not to say there hasnt been before here, but i'm staying longer since prague is awesome. i went to kutna hora too where the bone church is. it was a lot like the monestary in rome, except here they disinfected the bones first, making them real white-washed. also i think the bones are that of black plague victims instead of monks. the cleaness of the bones was kind of crazy though becuase it disattaches you from thinking that the bones were once humans. like you could be looking at plastic molds or something. most people there thing that it is a little weird, but i rather think bones are really cool. except the tailbone... that bone is just plain creepy. the way it curves and has those holes in it.. yuck. there was this chandelier that was made up of all the bones in the human body, but i wonder if they included the ear bones too. those are really small. i dont even know what an ear bone looks like. the train back took 2 hours instead of an hour and seemed rather local, they didnt even check my ticket! i just pretended i was czech, not sure if it really worked or not though. we went to the market the other day, it was ok. i need a scarf, and didnt really find any orange ones i wanted (need to be orange). and the canadian was psyched about a punk rock concert, so thats where we went last night. the first band played american covers of songs, lost of ac/dc. when they started we were like, what is going on here! i'm not really into punk, but it was good. i'm staying another two nights before i go to olomouc, czech. and then to warsaw poland. there is an old polish-austrailian guy staying at the hostel and he taught me how to say hello. "Chest" that's how it sounds like anyways. he gave me good tips on travelining in poland and said in zyweic, they would be helpful in looking up family. it's also pronounced differently than any of us think, but i cant remember exactly how. and then we had to talk politics. great. and apparently, austrailia has some wild animals. like house cats taht are huge from living in the wild, and boar hunters that go out with dogs and knives and kill huge 150kg boars for fun, and big eagles of prey, and 8 of the top 10 most poisonious snakes. one of the guys here hunts boars. he just has these real crazy stories about it, but i dont think i ever want to get around a boar since apparently if you are hurt and cant move and are alone, they will start to eat you. that doesnt seem like a very pleasant way to die, if you ask me.

i have 7 new german roomates... they have begun smoking like crazy in my room. i really dont like my clean clothes to smell like smoke. needless to say, not in the best mood about it.
