We found THE coolest place last night. It's a sports bar where you sit at a table for four and you each have your own individual tap. And there is a little revolving LCD screen on top of it that tells you how many liters of beer your table has drank. AND THEN... on a big screen TV on the wall, it shows how much your table has drank in relation to the other tables and has it in a sports book kind of layout so it's like a game to race eachother. We drank 3.2 li...

Oh man, have I been taking the warm weather for granted. After my nice city bus, airport shuttle, plane, city bus, metro connection that I took this morning to get here, I finally arrived in Prague at about 12:30... and it's COLD!!! The travel was decent.

And so many of the mo...

The plan is to go to an Australian pub to celebrate later. The next two weeks are going to be so much fun. Carnival was amazing and I can't believe that it's just starting. Last night was so much fun. We met a group of 12 guys from Notre Dame that were staying at our hostel last night and we all ...
