So this week has been all sorts of fun, in my travels I found a pool that seemed interesting so we went on a quest to find it..... The Podoli pools are a few Olympic sized swimming pools both indoor and outdoor set at the base of a huge hill and across the street from the river. We took the metro and got off, and ended up walking through a big park which eventually took us off the path onto the hillside which was full of well used trails so we figured, why take the road down the hill when we can figure out how to get down by way of the trails....

As we were walking along these trails through sometimes thick brush, we stumbled upon small grassy meadows.... full of nude men... Apparently this is the spot to tan for the gay population of Prague because we probably saw at least 15 guys soaking up the sun in their birthday suits...

The pool was a fun time, the water was pretty warm and the pools were 15 feet deep which was cool since I am used to apartment complex pools that don't seem to be deeper than 4 feet... A little note on this pool... you get a ticket to scan and then go through the turn-style, KEEP that ticket! I lost mine and ended up having to pay to get out, the lady wouldnt let me leave without paying 60kc (about $3) (after I already paid 90kc($5) to get in! AND I didn't have exact change, just a few big bills that she wouldnt break them so I had to ask people for change lol.

Other interesting things in my travels....
Bachelor Parties in Prague- wearing costumes, asking to measure 'breast size' with a tape measure haha
We went on a pubcrawl which was fun, we went to the 'pregame' they host before it starts and you get to drink all of the watered down gross alcohol and cheap beer that you want.... yeah... its about as good as it sounds lol. Then you proceed as a huge drunk heard, led by Clara and now my roommate Kim works there too, to a bunch of bars.

Free Haircuts in the hall are fun, everyone sits on the stairs drinking and talking while someone plays guitar and Ellie and Matty give free haircuts :)
Bratislava! Not much to do there, we went by train on Thursday afternoon after our Czech language final. Stayed in the Film Hotel in 'Bruce Willis', saw the UFO tower, went to a sketch bar near a bus station, saw a castle and thats about all thats in Bratislava....
