Where the Hell are Jake and Otter?: Prague Oct 8

Today while Adam and Otter headed back toward old town, I decided I would explore the part of town near the hostel, because I had heard that there was a lot to see there as well. I walked for a while, eventually hitting the river, then continued along that for a while. I eventually ended up in the Asian market. Prague has a small population of Vietnamese people in the north end of the city, who run the market and many of the convince stores in the area. The market was one of those places you can get just about anything from lightbulbs, to clothing, to switchblades, all very inexpensive. It was very interesting to walk around, but I eventually got hungry, so I stopped at one of the vendors and had a delicious meal. After a bit more exploring, I made my way back to the hostel, where lo and behold, Adam and Otter had just arrived back as well. They had spent the day at a museum for children's art that was done while in concentration camps. It was truly amazing to see how innocent the world is in a child's eyes. We relaxed around the hostel for a bit, talking with people we had met there, then eventually headed back out for food. Appetites quenched, we headed back to old town to see the city lit up. A majority of the famous buildings, the castle in particular, are lit up at night, and believe it or not, this is thanks to The Rolling Stones.
