Prague's (little) version of Eiffel tower
2008-02-26 00:01:00 Petrinska rozhledna/Petrin lookout tower is Prague's so called smaller version of Paris' Eiffel tower. It was build in 1891. When the weather is right you can see places in the Czech republic that are more than 100km far away. There's a grand view on Prague Castle as well :)The only drawback is that it is on the top of Petrin hill and you have to literally climb up here. But than again, there are those fabulous views on Prague during your climb.Here's a link to the real Eiffel tower at Paris DP. More About: Tower , Version , Eiffel Tower

Oscars night at Palace Cinemas
2008-02-23 23:27:00 The ad on the right is for the Oscars night at Palace Cinemas . So if you don't want to watch Oscars alone you can go to see them in the cinema. And it's for free, including free drinks and snacks :)Unfortunately all 3 cinemas in Prague's Palace Cinemas are already full. Even though the program starts at 10 pm with various tv shows from HBO (e.g. Californication which I love) and the actual Oscars ceremony begins at 2 am.Thank God they have so comfortable seats for comfortable sleep - I slept through Lord of the rings (twice), second Matrix movie and Billy Elliot here so I can tell :)Speaking of Oscars.

Here's a link to a Youtube video - tell me what you think.And I recommend Atonement, too :) More About: Night

Window in a window in a window
2008-02-06 00:48:00 Zborovska street. There was a high school in Zborovska street called Zborovska high school specialized in math and science. It was well known in Prague, their students won a lot of prizes and a lot of my class mates went there after elementary school. They got a new name few years ago and I don't think they are doing as well as they were used to now.By the way, Czech name for "high school" is "gymnasium" which, of course, means something different in English. Please, be kind if we use it wrong :) More About: Window
