I've had bad luck the last couple weeks. Last week I was losing everything: tweezers, some clothing, ID, camera. I found the ID and camera, but the tweezers and clothing are still missing. This week everything has been breaking: zipper on a pair of my jeans, the lining in the shoulder of my coat, and my laptop charger , which cost 3250 Kč (about $150). By this time next week, I expect to be in a full body cast, after being hit by a series of cars/trams/locals/metro escalator stairs (which move very quickly and are easy to fall on).

In lighter news, sightseeing!
Wandering around is exhausting. I've been to a couple museums, eaten at a bunch of bars and restaurants, and seen a whole lot of places walking around.

I was walking around looking for a bookstore, and I came across this

I'm not really sure what it is. There are a lot of doorways like this in the city. I assume they are all gates to hell.

We went to this modern art museum, where they had this giant installation of books on this huge wall.

There's mark, so you get an idea of the size of this wall.

Every now and then, it is sunny. I estimate we've had a cumulative ten hours of sunny weather since I've been here.

That's a picture of
Staro Město (Old Town Square) one day.

That's Alex, Taryn, and Mark, my roommate, in another part of Old Town Square.

That's a book by Hugh Laurie I saw in a bookstore in the Flora mall here. Why he has a gun, I do not know.
