Prague, Czech Republic

So I arrived in Prague during the evening and it was a bit cold and drizzly outside. I exited the station and just kind of started walking and managed to miraculously make it to my hostel fairly quickly. I dropped off my things and went back to a square I had passed through in order to buy a sausage being sold out of a stall that was absolutely delicious (and cheaper than the ones in Vienna).
I went back to the hostel with my sausage and relaxed for a bit, uploading more photos to my computer and reading the tons of email that accumulate when I don't have internet access. That evening I went out with a few of the guys in my hostel to a local pub to watch a hockey game. I tried to find a salsa club, but sadly they all seemed to be closed. In their defense, it was Sunday night. Also, I went grocery shopping and got eggs to make for breakfast as well as the first appropriately priced Snickers bar I've seen in months. It was roughly 50 cents.
I started off the next day with eggs and sausage for breakfast before heading out to the Old Town Square to go on a free tour. I waited outside the huge clock that dominates the square because a corner near afforded me some refuge from the punishing winds. The tour began as did on and off rain, but I really enjoyed the tour as the guide pointed out a lot of the big sights in the Old Town and gave some historical context of a lot of them as well as a few jokes. I got to know some of the other people (Canadians) on the tour who were staying at a nearby hostel and they invited me to their hostel's outing that night, which I gladly accepted as my hostel had basically emptied out that morning.
After the tour we went to a pub called The Pub where they allowed you to pour your own beer at your table and used an electronic ticker to show how each table was doing in competing with other tables in the pub and at other affiliated pubs around town and in other cities. After this I made my way back to my hostel to relax for an hour or so before meeting at the hostel to go to dinner. The particular restaurant was chosen because they had an offer for 50 cent Czech beers. As you can imagine, people were happy.
We left and went to a bar near the hostel but I ended up going on a rather long return journey trying to help one of the girls I met find her scarf and unsuccessfully navigating back to the original restaurant. Eventually we found it with the help of a cabbie and made our way back to the bar. Eventually I made my home and returned to my still empty hostel.
Next morning, same deal with breakfast and I met some of the Canadians to wander towards the enormous Prague Castle, which is the largest castle in the world, because it's more like a castle complex with many interconnected buildings that serve different purposes, from museums to the presidential residence. On our way we crossed the famous Charles Bridge, visited the John Lennon wall, and the key bridge. Naturally, there was more sausage as well as delicious almond bread treat and a small sample of spicy chocolate ice cream.
I stopped by my hostel to pick up my things as I had technically checked out earlier and took my things to the other hostel where I would leave from. One of the Canadians turned out to be a chef and was making dinner for that night. I got a very good two course meal for 2 Euros. After dinner I took a tram across town to meet up with some of the Emory students studying in Prague for the semester before returning to the train station to catch my night train to Budapest.
