Prague Anecdotes

While in Prague...

One night we're on the bus on our way back home (the bus, not the train as usual, as it is so late at night) and it's quite full, so most of the members of our party are standing. I can't recall everyone who was there (did I mention the hour, and all the beers consumed before that hour?) but I know that Kerry and I and Ann and Josh were there. In the two seats nearest the door was this couple. You could tell they were a couple because their tongues were in each another's mouths. They were all over each other. We're on this bus like 15 minutes and they never come up for air. The crowded, well-lit bus doesn't seem to slow them down at all. In no time the girl is crawling into the guy's lap and their hands are roaming and so are their lips. So we're all basically staring because, well, there's not much else to do. We get off the bus and someone lements that if we'd stayed on one, two more stops we probably could've seen them get to third base. I feel that every bus ride I take for the rest of my life will be a disappointment if I don't see someone headed for third.

Bowling allies have changed forever too. The bowling alley we visited had only like 6 lanes and more floor space was dedicated to the bar portion. While we were watching a bunch of European collegiates bowl for the first time, a guy dressed in camo comes in and drags a girl from another group up onto a karaoke-esque stage. Someone cranks up some music and he strips.
"Was he totally naked?"
"Well, he was wearing a camo bandana."
He proceeded to molest every girl in the party (even the ones who seemed decidedly against it), kept a careful eye on the clock and when his 20 minutes were up he gathered up his clothes and walked out. The party that hired him looked to be 6 or 7 girls. His audience was over 50 people, many of whom were young economists and political scientists far from home and snapping photos.
