And Happy Saint Wenceslas Day to YOU

Wednesday was Saint Wenceslas Day. That's Den Svateho Vaclava, for the myriad Czech speakers reading this blog. :)

A holiday, as I believe I said exasperatedly (are we making up adverbs here?) on tuesday night, is just what I needed! What did I do on my day off? Not to pose a rhetorical questions, I'll answer it: I went exploring. Here's what I found:

1) They have bowling alleys here. In Czech, it's referred to as bowling.
2) ALL of the shops are closed on St Wenceslas Day except the herna bars and touristy places downtown.
3) There is an awesome restaurant I'll call "Mural Pub #2" near my flat - yay!
4) I can get a take-away pizza for 60-kc (and extra 6-kc if I want the box .... don't know what I'd need that for!)
5) There is a pub near the metro that sells fresh burcak. Burcak is young wine straight from the vines - awesome! (but no, not as awesome as rohliky)

Oh! And I went shopping and found a wall map of the Czech Republic that is so incredibly cool, you'll just have to come and see it.
