Day 7: The Best Ships are Friend Ships

SUNDAY FUNDAY!!!

Words can't describe how excited Ally, Eliza and I were for Sunday brunches before we arrived to Prague, only to find out that brunch isn't big here. We were so upset but decided to settle for the next best thing...BAGELS! But not just any bagels, these were Bohemia Bagels! This is what happens when Americans move to Prague, they open up bagel shops. So far we have stumbled upon two locations which is wonderful because it was delicious! I have yet to find a food place that I haven't enjoyed which is weird because I am super picky.

After our bagel brunch we decided to head towards Old Town Square to check out the Tim Burton exhibit. It is a curated art exhibit but the location was also showing various Tim Burton films for free! It was so cool because the showings were in these cave-like settings. On the way to the screening room, we passed by some incredible art work and sculptures. Eliza thought that the film we were seeing was supposed to start at 2pm. When we had arrived to the screening room, the film had already started. None of us had seen the film before so we didn't know how much we missed. We were there for maybe 40 minutes and the film ended. It was then Eliza realized she must have mixed up the times for the shows. Overall , the exhibit was still beautiful and we got the opportunity to watch an American film in Prague with a Czech audience!

After the screening we decided to head back to the Institute so we could use and abuse the wifi for whatever reasons (let's say...homework! Yes, we went to the Institute to do homework!) On our way there we saw some street performers who were creating these huge bubbles and attracted a large audience. It was so cool to see all of the kids interact with the performers as they would pretty much attack the huge bubbles with their body. This one boy rammed a bubble and he got super soapy after it popped. He was like "WHAT IS THIS?? WAS THAT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN?!" It was really endearing haha.

After a while of procrastination we decided to czech out this restaurant/hookah bar. It was pretty much an awesome decked out Central European cellar. Narrow spiral staircase included! It was also an incredible atmosphere. Our busy day was soon accompanied by a nap back at the Institute (which quickly became called "The Prastitute"...."The Prague...Institute"...yeah, like no one saw that coming!) The day ended with some celebratory drinks after a few friends from UNCW came into town.

Na zdravĂ­ (CHEERS!)
