Prague

Went to Prague on previous week, again for O2.
Didn't go anywhere after work, it was 21:00 and 19:00.
Still can't figure out why I drink rezano pivo this much. It seems to be lighter than water...
 
In the 1990s at this market, you used to be able to buy a big cup (like a big college cup) of wild picked blueberries for 100 Kč / $2. I used to buy a bottle of gin, empty it by a third into another bottle, and fill it with blueberries. A few weeks in a dark cupboard and you’d have an amazing, intensely berry flavoured liquor, and as I drank it, there was a top-up ready to go. Blueberry jam all winter, pork or lamb with blueberry sauce, and plenty of Moravian wine. The past really is a foreign country.

Associated tangent: I just came across a post on Instagram that said something about growing up in the 80s being the best time, and a video played of iconic scenes from movies like Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Sixteen Candles, Flashdance, Indiana Jones, and music videos from Madonna, Michael Jackson etc. Overlaid was the song Live To Tell by Madonna. I was unexpectedly teary with nostalgia for a time that is around 35- 40 years past. Different world, indeed. Where did the time go? Anyway, back to Prague.

This is interesting. The Jewish community didn’t allow photographs in the cemetery historically. The best view of the cemetery is from the Museum of Decorative Arts Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague · Josefov
Most synagogues I visited restricted photography while some allowed it…I don’t recall any restrictions being posted in the cemetery though it could have been that I was simply unaware…usually my wife is the one to see the restrictions and enforces the rule on me and she didn’t say not to, so…
