My first time in Prague and it sure is spectactular. I am a big fan of my view from the room here.
We had quite a rude welcome, however, as we pull up to the hotel there are tanks and armored cars and 100's of police officers hanging about outside. We were obviously a little concerned about this so we inquired inside...apparently there is some kind of neo-nazi parade here today, the hotel is in the Jewish Quarter of Prague so I guess it gets that kind of attention...weird. In any case, later this afternoon the parade came by, I didn't get too close but here's a picture of the ruckus anyway. Hopefully there won't be anything like this going on tomorrow!

brian,
finally a place where everyone knows your name!remember that you're there on bidness and not to be organizing anymore parades. also keep in mind the stir you created in georgia? pure chaos.
Wait, haven't you run into parades before while on business? (Seriously) It seems like this does happen to you more often, for real.
I’ve been to Prague many times and I never get sick of it. Last time I was there for 15days. I found the city beautiful, like a fairytale land, the towers, the castles and the cathedral gives the city that mystic ambient that I love. I was in Prague in that day! It was crazy but it was nice to see how anarchists, communists or people without assuming any side come to fight the skinheads! I loved it!
I love Czech people they are very nice and friendly and also a literate society, as you can see here in this government document. Besides the small streets I loved the place we slept in I’ll leave you here a very good site about Prague hotels, they are cheap and very pleasant.
