Potluck Picnic and "Rocket Launch" (Praha,CZ)

Saturday was a beautiful day for a picnic. We had a picnic at the same location like last time (Vysehrad) and had a nice relaxing day. After the picnic I went to watch the "rocket launch" at the tv tower in Zizkov. The videomapping on the tower was pretty cool and the rocket launch was great. There were sooooo many people there. It was a great day!

Makeup and Hair, Folklore Festival and Street Theater Festival (Praha, CZ)

Yesterday I had a full day of activities. First I got my hair and makeup done by a makeup artist who wanted to make a video for YouTube. Then I went to the Folklore Festival in front of the Rudolfinum. I was able to watch three different groups perform- Sweden, Israel and Austria. The group from Austria seemed like they would be nice so I asked if I could take their photos and they were all totally fine with it. Thanks guys!!! Then I saw a booth from Morocco, so I decided to ask why they were the only ones who had a booth. Apparently the dance duo from Morocco got in a car accident on their way to the airport for the Folklore Festival and had to go to hospital with serious injuries! Mr. Mohamed was sent as a representative of Morocco to show the dance on a TV screen and to give information about Morocco. One day I will visit Dakhla, it looks great! Then I met my friend and went to the Street Theater Festival. I'm very glad she told me about it because there were some really interesting performances. The first we watched was some crazy guy (Kitchen Prince) playing the piano, making a mess and causing fires (this was not my favorite). Then there was an alternative group that the audience needed to follow as they walked around. The last spot for this group was by far the best. There were a lot of crazy acrobatic routines and it was awesome. Then there was a very dark and intense show about the impacts on war. It was very interesting. I wasn't able to finish watching the performance because I needed to catch my bus. After that performance there was going to be an LED display, I was able to just catch a glimpse of it before leaving. What a great day!!

Street Theater/ Netwalking around Zizkov (CZ)

My friend informed me that there was a street theater festival going on in various parts of Praha, so I decided to check it out. I had a bit of time before the Netwalking event so I watched one performance. It was entertaining and fun to watch. I will watch more performances tomorrow with my friend. I came across the Netwalking event some how and I saw that it would include parts of Zizkov that I wasn't familiar with, so I joined. The group was MUCH bigger than I thought it would be. At 6:30pm we headed off to the first destination, Olsany Cemetery. Apparently there are around 2 million people buried there. Then we walked to an abandoned train station. That was quite interesting. Then we walked through a long tunnel to get to Karlin. The last destination was a makeshift bar next to the river. It was a fun walk and I got to meet several different people. I didn't get a chance to take everyone's photo, but I'll try at the next walk! It was nice meeting you all! See you next time!
