Harry has found an Internet Salonique in Prague!

Hello comrades, Harry here in Prague. I've only been here for about 4 hours so far. The most amazing thing is... the entire city is not in black and white!!! Film has lied to me. I was under the impression that there was going to be dramatic lighting and stark shadows... and where the hell is my fog?

I am currently in the most amazing building I've seen thus far. On the outside there's a whole bunch of foreign words, spires and a beautiful thingamagig that is just beautiful. I saw the word PRAHA and a bunch of tables, so I went in. I ordered some garbled words with a price that said 75 C to the side, and got a bread basket, jellies, spreadable cheeses and smoked sausages and other sandwich fixings. I then pointed at another word with 35 C next to it and got something called Urquell... the other word was Pivo... which I now believe means beer... but I am not 100% on that one. It's a most excellent Pilsner.

This is my halfway point to Kafka's Insurance Company. I'm afraid ol Gregor Samsa would leave a thousand roach eggs in my left ear if I didn't visit Kafka's Insurance company. So far I have noticed... indeed there are Cobblestone streets here, in front of me is a european couple making out... holy shit that's a nice titty. Man.... Oh hell, that reminds me.... They have big billboards with naked breasteses on them as well as asses. "Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas any more."

It looks like I have made a contact on the FROM HELL set, in about 5 hours I should be somewhere outside the city of (I can't pronounce it much less type it) where apparently the Hughes Brothers have built 6 blocks of Jack The Ripper era WHITE CHAPEL. Also, I've heard tale that somewhere in this city, Julianna Marguiles and Angelica Huston are shooting something. I don't know how late this joint is open, but I know I'm free for part of my pre-noon tomorrow...

Wow. Here I am, in Prague... writing an update from a computer with all sorts of extra letters while people with multicolored umbrellas walk the cobblestones out side. There's a blonde woman handing out sheets of paper, either political, advertising or pimping for a band somewhere. Nothing has really changed. Eaves dropping on conversations and hearing "vik sighr wror vbnbnn" Probably means "God he's fat", but I can't understand so I'm just blissfully ignorant. OH... for dudes... Girls that wear mini-skirts here, don't seem to wear underwear... Just a detail I noticed. Right out my window is the big building with a double headed eagle holding swords and olive branches all in gold... beneat that it says, "FRANCISCVS AVST.IMP. VECTIGAALIBVS.ET.MERCATVRIS.EXERCENDIS. FIERI.CVRAVIT. MDCCXI."

Tomorrow evening I take a look at A KNIGHT'S TALE, tonight I will enter the world of Alan Moore's FROM HELL as envisioned by the Hughes brothers and acted by Johnny Depp, Robbie Coltrane, Heather Graham and if memory serves Nigel Hawthorne... though that might very well be wrong... I don't have my regular tools here to double check things... Moriarty, Robogeek, Father Geek... double check that stuff for me if ya can!

I will see you either later today or tomorrow. Heh... I'm writing to you from 8 HOURS IN THE FUTURE!!!!

Prague Harry out.... funny... I'm changing...
