česty krumlov
I returned from Brno on Friday night, to make sure that I was back for our trip to česty krumlov the following day. It is a very small and historic town in south Bohemia. It is really stunning. We had a tour of castle and the quarters of all the important people who have at some point resided in česty krumlov. It is well worth a visit again. In fact to make sure that I didn't ruin my next visit (when I am taking all of you around the Czech Republic), I spent most of the day lying by the river and drinking coffee. I felt I truly absorbed the atmosphere.
After my lazy day, I was very tired. But Saturday is the only night that we can go out and not worry about getting up the next day! And seeing that I am only in Prague for a limited amount of time, I was not going to waste this opportunity. However I didn't consider musical tastes, and our first destination was a ska and punk night. You will be relieved to hear that this night was not on, seeing that it was on a deserted university campus. So we ended up in a cheesey bar/club, with lots of ridiculous danicing to follow. You will be happy to hear that every nationality that joined me on the dance floor fulfilled their stereotype. Bit of camp dancing from the Germans, heavy head banging from the Fins and some weird but pretty cool dancing from the French. I had a great night, and it was good to get to know everyone on my course a little better. It was a real effort to get back to our 'off the metro line' location, but at 5am, we finally did. As you can imagine, I don't have much to say about Sunday.

Marish,
Soon you will be joined in Prague by a range of friends, including your brother! jan and john are going to Prague on Saturday and Stefan on Sunday, so you may bump into some familiar faces!
Out of interest Marish, how much does a flat cost in Brno, in English money per week? How much do flats cost to buy? I expect you would have to be a Czech citizen to buy one, but...
