More thoughts about Prague:

Do not go in the summer. It's wall-to-wall tourists, ourselves included. Pretty maddening after a while that you can never walk in a straight line because there are always people in the way.

Avoid the Chinese shops. There are little convenience stores run by Chinese, but the prices are crazy. A Magnum ice cream bar is $1.50 in a mainstream grocery store here, but $5 or $6 in a Chinese shop.

It used to be shitty under the communists, but you can see that things are far nicer now, lots of recent renovations.

There used to be a massive statue of Stalin on the castle side of the river, on a hill with a great view of the city. Now it's a "beer garden" but that's just a few stands selling beer and a lot of tatted people smoking (including weed) and hanging out. Lots of graffiti up there, but OK, that's the place to be cool.

Saw maybe 10 gay flags, way more than Poland or Austria.

Saw just one woman wearing a mask. She looked like an idiot, which she clearly is if she's still afraid.

Pilsner Urquell is everywhere, and it's distinctly better than the version we get in bottles in the US.

Lots of Spanish tourists.

Ah, my wife says there's a better beer garden up on that hill, but we somehow didn't see it.

I really like Hotel Hastal in Prague, a small hotel in the center. https://www.hotelhastalprague.com/en/ Very traditional, actual key to door. Was kind of surprised that the maids seem to be young Czech women. In America, hotel maids always seem to be Latina.

If you stay here, get room 22 if you can. Bigger than other rooms, and has a balcony.

Graffiti in Krakow:

Vienna and Prague have public mist sprayers, which are really nice on a hot day. I thought of a good joke about them:

Q: What is this thing called?
A: It's a mistery!

Pilsner Urquell, along with Budvar (the original Budweiser) were founded in the city of Pils (Czech) or Pilsen (German) (hence the type of beer). True fact, after the fall of the iron curtain, Budvar wanted to sell internationally, but Budweiser US (which was founded by Budvar back in the day) sued to block them because their name infringed on their trademark.

See, even 30 years ago Budweiser was run by assholes.

Noticed a cute young woman, then I noticed the thick dark hair on her legs :

Likely in the armpits, too.

Fuck, cameras that low, and facing lawn areas!?

Very interesting, keep the observations coming

All this does is make me hate Europe more. I don't care if I'm 3 generations removed from that part of the world. It sounds miserable. My SIL has lived in Germany, Italy, Austria and the UK. They all sound awful from her perspective. Sure there's scenery, but the historic type stuff is just bad in my opinion. Most everything Europe has done over centuries, causes wars.

I suppose a German going to Nebraska might be like WTF is this. But it's at least going to be nicer than Europe.

On her VERY SHORT legs.

Yeah, now that I look at it, Unless it's a trick of the angle, she is mostly torso. Nice hourglass though.

Looks like she's wearing a potato sack.

Yes, quite cute too. OK, her legs are a bit short and hairy, but she can shave and I don't mind short legs.

But it was also nice and thin and looks like it could just fall off of her.

Hey, that's the Krakow town square. I was just there in July.

Sunday Poland had referendum:
Do you support take thousands of illegal migrants according to EU imposes to take?
Answer was "NO" - 96.68% votes.

What? So Poland now has a bunch of woke idiots running the nation now?

I'm sure that was a REAL election..

Watch this short, dynamite interview. Poland has "no illegal immigration problem, as in zero."

So its reported the "centrists" won the Polish election yesterday.

What does that mean as far as immigration to Poland, the war in Ukraine, and Poland's dealings with EU and NATO ?

Prague old city is well worth visiting. Really beautiful.

She might have short legs, but I suspect she's got a heart-shaped ass. More cushion for the pushin'.
