We took a cab from the airport and never in a million years would I have expected the cab driver to be listening to country music. I mean the real stuff: Merle Haggard, Glenn Campbell, etc. Prague has a country music radio station. You cannot make this stuff up. Our hotel is just a tad outside downtown in an area called Nove Mesto (which means New Town in Czech.) We're in one of those artsy hotels that are becoming so popular around the world. There is funky furniture and silver ball lights and swirly sculptures made of dyed leaves of some sort.
Minimalism is the key - the long walkway to the restaurant is lit by an adjacent skylight.
Hanging in the skylight are dead trees - their trunks float a foot from the ground.
Our room is on the top floor and has a skylight. I popped my head out to look around.
Such a wierd contrast - the outside world is much, much older and decidedly less "funky."
