How to find a door... and other lessons

Ok. Did I mention the irish pub? Apparently we are the only ones who go to bed around 10:00PM, everyone else is at the Irish pub right below our open windows. I'm old and have a day job which makes me cranky when the ladies from the hen parties start their drinking at 10 and then spill into the streets so that we can all enjoy the fun. They are all the same - they travel in packs of 4 or 5 and usually include the bride to be in a wedding veil or tiara and everyone in matching t-shirts that say:

Sarah's last day of freedom
Prague 2010
Celebrated with:

Samantha
Laurie
Catherine
Amy

And since I'm bilingual now that roughly translates into:

Olga's last day of freedom
Praha 2010
Celebratedenska with:

Sarka
Danil
Vera
Jarenka

Damn I'm old.

Which leads me to my next topic, How to find a door. How odd you may be saying, and yes you would be correct. So, because I have a day job and we are relatively responsible parents we were not out drinking all night but instead were trying to sleep so that we could get up and meet with our friendly bank lady at the local Ceska Sporitelna. Jarka was expecting us for 9:00am and it was a 10 minute walk from the apartment.

What they don't tell you is that in prague the addresses can be wonky. So you walk past one building and it is addressed as Ryterska 4 and the the building next to it is Ryterska 7 and the one after that is 23 and then you are back number 6. There is no rhyme or reason. But it gets even better cause when you find the building, they put the entrances behind big wooden doors and hide them from the public. So when you are already late cause you couldn't find the right address and then you couldn't find the door, you just become more latherer. And then you ask 3 different dudes on the street and they send you in 3 different directions AND one of you has some kind of gps thingy that couldn't possibly steer you wrong, that just makes you ..well..I'll leave that up to you. Lesson 1: go early and know your vystups.
