attempted mugging by gypsy prostitute
Apparently when I was getting food, a gypsy prospitute tried to take the money out of his pocket last night... She failed .
Also- I remebered a bought a picture at a club from a bachelorette party. The picture was of the bachelorette for 1 euro. It was like a stack of random photos and they were trying to sell them to people to raise money for her wedding. It was sooo weird. So I bought one

last night
After roaming the city for an hour we found one bar that was oepened til 4 like a typical weekend but it was sunday. There was prob about 1500 people in the city in the same boat as us looking for something to do on a sunday night.
The drinks r not cheap in prague. Bratislava was like 2 dollars a drink, here is like 6 so it adds up.
We slept in today until about 1230 which felt great. We haven't figured out what we are going to do today but we were prepared for shitty weather. It keeps turning into a nice day despite the forecast. I can't complain obviously.
Not much to discuss today but hopefully something later..
Steve is downstairs trying to find tape to put his money back together. I'm gonna see what that's all about.
Also- just a side note- the thujorne in absinthe is the hallucinate,I wasn't sure if I made that clear in my previous post. I don't think thujorne in the US. Ill have to check..

pooper scooper prank
I forgot to add this- we were so amused by the cool pooper scooper bags that we wanted to take it to the next level. The bags have writing all over so u know its for picking up the dog poop.there is also instructions on the bag of how to pick up the poop and put it in the bag with pictures! Steve bought a nice big kit kat bar and let it sit In his pocket for the day so it got reall mushy. We took the wrapper off and he started eating it from the bag like he was eating dog poop, in front of tons of people. Peoples reactions were priceless. I have video.
We did a shit load of walking today. We had a 2pm bus and walking tour of the city. It was for 1 hour of bus and then we walked around the church and castle. We got lost from our group a few times bc we kept getting distracted. There was the prague food festival and some other things going on today. Steve and I discovered the prague dog poo bags which r pretty interesting. They give out free paper bags and disposable scraper to keep the streets dog shit free. Solid idea... AND environmentally friendly. After 2 hour we were kicked off the tour becuase they combined the 3.5 hour group and the 2 hour group. Unfortunately just me and steve were in the 2 hour so they pushed us off at the castle.
It took a looong time to get back bc we didn't know how to get back, no one speaks good english so we just follow the trolly tracks to the square. I bought absenth- the real stuff. I want to take it back with me but we may end up finishing it tonight.
Fun fact_ the fake absenth only has 10mg of thujone or none at all. The really good stuff that you can't buy and is illegal has 100mg og thujone . They won't sell it but there is some with 50mg that is 150 dollars. I got the 35mg one.
We just checked into the hostel and we have an amazing room to ourselves. Its comparable to the size of a 1 bedroom apt in nyc. Its pretty nice. Here for 2 nights and the back to dublin.
We may do bar crawl tonight or a local bar around here.. Even though its sunday. Blahhh

prague last night recap
So we heard about this 6 floor club that everyone said to go to.. But we heard mixed reviews so some locals gave us another idea place to go to a place called infinity. We went and we liked it bc it was more of a locals bar dance club. Apparently there was an Mixed martial arts after party for a fight so that was pretty interesting to see some of the czech fighters there. We then went to the 6 floor club and that was a disaster. Total tourist trap- all 17 year old tourists experiencing their first night out. The cool thing about the club is that there is different music on each level. One of the floors was called "Black Music".. I guess they aren't so PC in this country. We found some Absolut promoters in the club and they gave us free shots if we beat them in rock paper scissors. They threw paper every time.. EVeRy TiMe but steve lost his first 3 games lol .
We left that piece of crap tourist trap and asked the cabby to take us somewhere fun with locals. Tip of day_ don't give cabbies the option to take you whereever.
We found a place with locals alright... Local prostitutes. They took us to a brothal. We got to this place and it was a scene out of hostel for sure. We obviously left that place but I did see the rate card which was interesting. 90 euros for 1 hour haha.
I then lost the equivalent of 90 euros in the casino.
We got home at 6am. Now we woke up and its game time.. We r going to check in to the hostel and do a tour of the castle.
This city is really great but I kind of feel like I'm trapped in time square

Prague day 1
so we tookt he train 4 hours to Prague. We met 2 random people from Scotland and Boston, so we sat with them on the train. i tried going to sleep but steve kept talking politics with them... and how Boston totally blew there 3-0 series against philly in hockey.
we got to Prague and we checked in to the Marriott. we are going to stay at the hostel on Sunday and Monday night...this hotel is super expensive but i need a nice place to stay at least one night.
prague is like 5th avenue meets Gotham City meets Atlantic City. so many tourists, and there is a casino on every street corner. the city is very cool.... we are going to do an organized tour tomorrow when we have time.
we saw a bunch of people wear all white outfits, the guys were capri pants, white hats and eurotrash shades..we thought it was a style here but i guess there is something called Sensation where 15,000 people from all over teh world come to one place for this massive party and they all wear white. i wish i knew about this earlier, i woud have definitely participated. but tix are all sold out.
we saw a guy with a braded mullet today...classic.
we are going to get ready to roll out in the next few hours and see how the club scene is... \

Casper says "buhhh"
The girl that works at the front desk had a shirt on last night with a ghost saying "buhhh" not "boooo" I guess u had to have been there but I thought it was funny.
On the bus now going to train station, we r soooo hungover. The bars are filled with tweens.
I can't believe Gary Coleman is dead. Willis - what r u talking about?
We ended up in the Bratislavian suburbs last night at 6am. That pretty much sums up the night.
We had 2 hours sleep
We just realized we left the vodka in the hostel! Fml
You know that scene in the begining of hangover where he is like... Yea doug is missing and we aren't gonna make the wedding... That is how I feel right now. But I am with steve so no one is missing.. Yet
Ps the Slovakias Got Talent people called me yesterday at 8pm. I can't wait to hear the message. For some reason I gave them a fake name but a real phone number... Stupid

They didnt care - they then gave me a # and started interviewing me and steve. my talent was....that i could burb on command for over 25 seconds. i was trying to show them... in the interview. it will air in September..maybe it will become viral hahha.
we lucked out with another nice day today - 30 C, and sun! tomorrow supposed to be sunny in Prague but rain rest of the week. we shall see.

This city is run by tweens. If u r into tweens and have any outstanding warrents in us of a, move to Slovakia.
We r eating pizza right now sitting outside at a restaurant called Bella Napoli.
Fun fact - did u know u have to pay for ketchup, dressings etc as extras at a restaurant here? They have their own menu page... Classic. Btw ketchup costs 1 euro or 1.30 USD.

austria?
We could have taken a day trip to Austria today but we opted out bc we would only have 5 hours. We r sitting at the train station now on a bench - forest gump style. We r patienly waiting for the bus back to the main area. They r selling Gaborik jerseys here haha.
Tip of the day- don't ask locals for directions. Waste of time
Interesting fact- I saw a female in Dublin with a very extensive mullet. I had my mullet shirt on at the time so one of the locals pointed her out to me because of my shirt. I tried getting a picture - success

Day 2- Bratislava
recap from last night- we met a bunch for random locals and they showed us around to the bars/clubs in Bratislava. It was pretty cool - no one spoke English or minimal at the least. All the drinks are like $2 here. i have to get a new shirt- i lost all of my buttons except the top one. steve has all of his buttons intact. We went to alligator lounge and rocked out to some Slovak Rock...it was pretty hardcore. we wondered around with 2 Kiwis and 1 french guy but he knew everyone. they bought us drinks because we were foreign. yay. The absenth is better here than in America of course. we are not moving rooms into a shared 6 because the private room we had is booked by someone else today- we upgraded. it seems pretty legit... we are going to make a pit stop to the post office and head to the train station to buy our prague tickets, we may go to Austria today if feel the timing is right.
Fun fact of the day: there are no jews here -
Tip of the day - Bratislavian Taxi drivers definitely increase prices for tourists and there is nothing you can do.
2nd fact - Today my name is Eduardo and I am here on business for a major accounting firm.

In Bratislava
We cruised around the city today , checked out the scene, mostly a lot of out door restaurants...not a lot of high rise buildings. It started raining around 1pm so we just went back to the hostel and passed out. Really tired from last night as I mentioned but we are caught up on our sleep and we are good to go for today. We picked out the hostels we wanted for Prague and we are going to stay in the Marriott for 1 night.
Can someone please comment on my posts...im getting lonely out here...

day 1 - dublin
It took us a little while to get our barrings but we cruised around the city today. Prob the only nice day we will have weather wise. Went to the christ church - I prayed... For good weather but they didn't let us in for the tours we were too late for that. Everything touristy closes at 5pm. We tried walking to the guiness factory, kept getting distracted and we wound up at a viking musuem, also closing within 30 min so we tossed that idea. Lots of gingers here...
There is a huge ass needle about 500 ft long and 30 ft wide that is planted in the middle of the city for no reason. What a waste...
I found a store that sells only medeivil weopons and shields.
I just took a nap for 2 hours back at the pad... Definitely jet legged.
The city reminds us of one big Soho

on the way to Bratisalva
Qucik Recap- 7 bars , spent all our euros and had 2 hours sleep. Waiting in airport now for our Ryan Air plane to Bratislava.steve likes eating fastfood, I can't take it anymore... Just had bk for breakfast. Ps- if u want to Hasselhoff any late night snacks, good luck doing it in Dublin, all the food places close down like 12am so u can never close ur night off with late night pizza or anything. Bars close at 12:30 in Dublin!!! Bs
And 21 drinking age - fyi. Just a fun fact.
Steve claims we saw a donkey show last night - I don't think this is accurate. Ill get more info...
