- Visited Old Town Square and the Charles Bridge. Got lost in the streets surrounding the square.
- Watched the astronomical clock tick off 6.
- Wandered around Žižkov. Stumbled upon a study hall/combination hip hop & rap mashup club/illegal hash bar/community center/net cafe/pub.
- Walked up to Pražský hrad. Got lost in the streets surrounding it.
- Hiked up Petrin Hill. Browsed the gardens on top.
- Ate Czech food and enjoyed it. Drank Czech beer (both the standards and some small batch brews) and loved it.
- Spent an afternoon in a hidden Literary Club and Kaverna.
- Attempted (some) Czech. Attempted (some) German. Found that English worked for almost everything.
It’s beautiful and bizarre, and I definitely recommend a visit. Photos on Flickr
- Wandered down La Rambla.
- Browsed La Boqueria.

It’s fantastic, I highly recommend a visit. Photos on Flickr
A wonderful British phrase, but with a slightly gruesome background.
A knacker is a person in the trade of rendering animals that are unfit for human consumption, such as work horses that have died in harness or are too tired to work any more.
See also: Joe Bloggs, Tea, and John Hancock (from separate but similar conversations).
I’m not sure from where I first found this, but there is fantastic grilled cheese at Borough Market. Delicious.

Brooklyn duo/couple Matt and Kim can’t stop exuding energy– they can only hope to contain it, all while gleefully messing with the usual formula in their debut album.
