Beer should always be cheaper than water

Prague has great, cheap beer. To put it in perspective, I bought a t-shirt for 149 crowns (about 5 euros or so). Our lunch yesterday, including 1 liter of beer, was cheaper. The food is also excellent in case you were wondering. The heavy amounts of beer, meat, and cabbage, however, contribute mightily to the Eurofunk.

I had a lost in translation moment at lunch today. The others finished their meals and already had their plates bussed. The waitress came by and said something that I thought meant, "Are you done?" I said yes, but she walked away only to return moments later with another stein of beer. This is probably the best misunderstanding I've ever had in my life.

We met some girls from Texas and some guys from England in the "American" bar last night. It was touted as the ex-pat place for Americans, but was only populated by a handful of Czech regulars and our group. A quick summary of what I learned over the course of the evening:

- Texans speak a stranger version of English than Californians or the British

- Watching Europeans watch their country's soccer team play is nonstop fun (one czech guy slammed his hand into the stone wall and didn't even flinch while celebrating a goal scored in the Czech vs Austria game

- A "nightclub" in Prague actually means a brothel, not a place to dance (the non-horizontal type)

- British people should shut the hell up when they criticize baseball, especially when they are unaware that pitchers could throw other pitches than a fastball

- The phrase "the dog's bollocks" was used in a sentence without any prompting from me

- Buying two .5L beers should always cost ~$2

We'll be in Interlaken in less than 24 hours.
