I've been a bit behind on my blog posting, so with this one I'll finally be up to date before I go off to Budapest this weekend (yay!). For our second meandering monday, Kate and I headed to the Kafka Museum in Stare Mesto (please excuse the lack of Czech alphabetical characters--I'm on an inferior PC) and then took an unexpectedly long walk basically half way up Petrin Hill.
Later that night, I went to Swan Lake with Miranda and Katie, which, based on my admittedly horrible memory, was the first ballet I've ever gone to. It was completely amazing. It was at Narodni Divadlo (the National Theater)--the same place where I've gone to see a couple operas. I've decided that instead of going to see movies this semester like I would do at home, I'm gonna go to opera and ballet seeing as how its actually cheaper than going to movies in New York. Not too shabby, right?
David Cerny's "Piss" sculpture outside of the Kafka Museum. If you send a text message to a certian number, they spell what you want them to say. The 'puddle' they're standing in is in the shape of the Czech Republic.
After the Kafka Museum, Kate and I went to go find another Cerny sculpture, but we missed it and ended up walking up a really big hill that got us near Prague Castle.

We found it! The piece is called "Quo Vadis" and is in the backyard of the German Embassy.
We had to sneak through this park to see it. It was really muddy.

We weren't supposed to take pictures, but I snuck some without using flash.
I'm in love with this ballet.
BEAUTIFUL!
