Vienna last weekend was lovely. Beautiful city, beautiful weather, beautiful museums. But I was happy the return to Prague. The multinationalism, grafitti-less streets and Euros made me long for my new home. Highlights are Rachel and my discovery of a location in Before Sunrise and reenacting it, the Egon Schiele exhibit at the Albertina and the food!--hemp beer, apple strudel, wienerschnitzel, and coffee. Too much time has elapsed since the trip so I can't chronical it anymore than I have already.

Kate is here with her mom and it's glorious. I love having a friend here, showing her my city, and getting a few free meals. So far I have taken her to Stare Mesto, Charles Bridge, the Jewish Quarter, Meduza, Mala Strana, the Kafka museum (which is really strange), a touristy and pricey Black Light Theatre production of Faust, and the Zizkov TV tower, which is decorated with large, black babies crawling up the tower. I think she officially thinks this is the scariest city ever. She's here until Tuesday so I have plenty of time to freak her out more.

Sorry for the brief entry but I have a lot to do. I finally realized that I'm in school and I have work. But, on a happy note, I have decided to go to London for a weekend. I am going in two weeks to see Kate, Tim and anyone else who will not be away for BADA spring break. I can't wait! I'm wondering if it is a bad idea because of my financial situation, but as I have learned on this trip, you have to go balls to the walls (not my term, unfortunately).
