...on Monday, we had an SIT birthday celebration at the Alchymista (the cukrarna next door to school). We had an entire medovnik to ourselves and I got to drink yerba mate and also received a stuffed goat that looks....well, you'd have to see it for yourself.
...on Wednesday night, I saw a one-man performance at the Archa that involved puppets, trampolines, beer, acrobatics, candy, dance and video. I followed this with a visit to Cross Club, the most surrealistic place possibly ever--it is filled with spinning gears and sculptures and looks like the interior of a Disneyland ride.
...on Thursday, Tom and I went to Zoo Praha. It was pretty great. The best part of it was the Indonesian Jungle, where we innocently stood in a dark tunnel looking at nocturnal creatures when suddenly---whizz! We saw and heard something fly past our heads. Slightly terrified, we walked a little further when we realized there were bats just flying around the exhibition not even inches from our heads. The strange thing about the zoo compared to American zoos was that all the walls in the various habitats were very, very low; anyone could hypothetically have reached and grabbed an animal and picked it up. I even got a shirt that says in Czech that I am an anteater. Later that night we had a discussion and debate with Czech students and one of the members of the Plastic People of the Universe (look them up on Wikipedia---they're very important in Czech history).
