So, Tabor was nice but very quiet on a Thursday. All the nifty hip hop clubs and techno places looked like they would go off on the week­end but I needed to get to Prague. I’m fas­cin­ated by the idea of the Tabor com­mune which was around from 1420 till the mid-17th cen­tury. I had no idea about the Hus­sites and now I want to know more.

Sorted out delay­ing my flight but turns out that was my last $40, so it was pretty stupid… Anyhow, if you’re going to be broke any­where, the Czech Repub­lic is the place to be.

Prague is as big and touristy as every­one said it would be. The guys at the hostel are quite nice, every­one is shar­ing their absinth and vodka so I’m not paying for alco­hol and a pack of instant noodles costs 8 crowns or 50 cents. I’ve paid for my acco­mod­a­tion till the plane and I have enough for the bus fare to the air­port. It’s a far cry from earn­ing a packet last year and prob­ably very good for me. I love the fact that my MEAA journo card gets me into museums for free though. Went to Prague Castle yes­ter­day, didn’t pay a cent.

Now sit­ting in a KFC using free WiFi (weird, I know) and trying to work.

Got an e‑mail yes­ter­day from someone import­ant to me essen­tially saying our friend­ship is over, so that was hard, but I guess I knew it was coming. Bal­ance and new begin­nings, right?
