It could be very easy to sink into a habit of bad eating and emerge in a month or two a complete blob. I had two traditional Czech meals today, both of which required copious amounts of beer (mainly Staropramen at about 60p for a half litre). The first was some kind of sausage cooked in a dark beer sauce served with bread. The second, in the evening after some touristy stuff, was goulash with dumplings. And these aren't little cute dumpling like Mum makes for padding out casseroles. Oh no - they're big fuck off slices of dumpling - almost like bread. Waistline-killing giant mutant dumplings. But very nice.

I am smoking. Frankly, at 80p a packet, I can't resist.

Had a wander around to see bits and pieces, which included Wenceslas Square, the old town square, Charles Bridge and a few other little bits and pieces dotted about our path.

Out in the evening for bouncing. Because I never run for metros - but Graham does - I ended up being eaten by the metro at Jirího Z Podebrád (I'm sure they've changed the spelling since yesterday just to confuse me) as it was leaving. I got half way through the doors as they closed and it was easier to leave the train - as it started moving - than it was to try and force my way on it. Thankfully, Prague's underground is wired for mobile phone users, so I could arrange to meet Graham at Staromestská.

Initially we headed off to Friends for a couple of beers - Graham and I both afflicted by sausage sphincter - then ended up in Gejzeer, a really good club.

Gejzeer is quite big and has a dancefloor, a chill out room, a sofa area, a porn theatre and cavernous darkrooms (apparently) with slightly slippy floors (apparently). The etiquette seems to be to find someone you like on the dancefloor, snog them on a sofa in the chill out room then rush downstairs should the need arise to stand doubled over with your hands on your ankles as some teenage youth - or indeed however many you've collected throughout the evening - buggers you senseless. (Apparently) All wonderfully sordid. (So I was told)

Prostitution is legal here, which is why they're all so matter of fact about it. Doesn't stop me from thinking it a bit icky but never mind.
