At 9:30am we got a guided tour of Prague's historical center including Wenceslas Square, the Old Town Square, the Charles Bridge, and the Lesser Town and Franz Kafka's house. Our group learned that the Czech Republic has the highest per capita alcohol consumption in the entire world (Ireland is 2nd) with 160 liters per person per year.
In the Old Town Square there was an interesting statue of Jon Hus, who tried to reform the catholic church and was burned at the stake. Apparently, I am related to him in some distant way. There is also an incredibly beautiful and intricate clock on the wall in the square. There were just so many beautiful sights and vistas in Prague it was almost overwhelming
At night we headed out to Karlovy Lazne, the club with a reputation, where apparently some SU students in the past had gotten rufied. This club was the best I have ever been to. It was 5 floors, each with a different dance floor and style of music. There was a rave/techno floor, a pop-music floor, an 80s disco floor, and a chill-out lounge up top. The 80s floor had the best dancing area, but some of the music sucked. We danced on the various floors until almost 5am and then took a taxi cab back to the hotel. While we were on the dance floor a fight broke out between two drunk guys but they were quickly dragged out by multiple huge bouncers. There were a ton of people at this club, and over the course of the night I danced and talked with different people, including some girl who was also visiting from England.
