Dont go to Prague man.
Last time I was there, the friend of a friend "painter artist" dude who illegally served us as a hotel asked for 15 deutsche mark instead of the agreed 10 per night in his shady apartment once we go there, and then we drank some orgasms (50% vodka 50% tonic, cover tha glass with your palm, turn it around and bang it open side down on the table quick enough to not spill any, and gulp it down while its turning into 100% foam) and I fainted and was impossible to go on tour with th rest, while they were gone I had to pee an tried to find the crapper and almost confused it with the "landlord's" wardrobe (identified it and found the right bathroom in the nick of time). Meanwhile, my friend Freddy who manaeged to go on tour peed in his pants after bumping into a trashcn and rolling down the subway's stairs (I didnt see it casue I was knoecked out but they told me it happned). The next morning, some czech guy confronted us on hte subway for not having payed a ticket, we said oh sorry we thought it was still communist and subway was free, he said yeah no problem but we still gotta pay 12 deutsce mark punishment (which is about as much as it is to take the subway in germany legally). Then we went into some disco that lokoed liek a cathedral and my mexican fiend Inti (meaning Sun God in some weird mexican language) went to take a dump and wipped his ass bad enough that the showed through his jeans, and he almost scored with a chick till she saw him from the back. Then we went to Frank Kafka's birht place and philsophsized about "Der Prozess" and about it was all about how it was the guy's own fault that he didnt stick up for himself. Then some czech punks started buggin one of us about his sweatshirt, which had a socialist star with some barred windows and a fist sticking out of it. Those just didnt understand that in west germany it was still cool at the time. Then I took the train home and I was all panicky about omg-how-am-I-gonna-get-taht-weed-smell-out-of-my clothes and bags and everything... my moms a teacher... she knows....
Anyway, she and my sis pretended not to notice.
A few months later, I took the train (it was on the line Amsterdam --> Berlin) and who do I meet? Its Michael, who was there in Prague. Some weeks earlier I left school for summer holidays and was saying good bye to everyone but couldnt find Michael. As I took my parents car, I saw a police van parked ouside the school, and hten drove off with my parents home. Well anyway, Michale was on that train form Amsterdam to berlin, and he told me taht some arsehole teacher busted him for ween adn that he was in that polce van and he saw me leave, and cya he is going home to USA now to become a musician, and he hopes we can jam together again one day. Never saw him again.
Anyway, have fun in Prague.
Dont curse on the forums. I had to remove 3 different curses from your post. Next time you will find your posting rights suspended. Zelot
Do not interact with any spiders or insects of any kind. If it's shiny black with a red spot, it will kill you. If it's big, black and fuzzy, it will kill you. If it's living under a trap door it will _really_ kill you. If it looks kind of like a huntsman it's actually a wolf spider and (I'm not even joking) will literally chase you around if you anger one. If it's eating a bird, it'll eat you too.
Do not interact with kangaroos, wombats, emus or basically any wildlife. They all have claws which are sharper than the cute and fuzzy image some of them portray.
Do not attempt to eat any "bush tucker". 99% of the crap growing out here will kill you. The only way the aboriginees learnt what they could eat was russian roulette with five of the six rounds loaded.
Do not interact with bogans. They are dangerous. They also don't like foreigners. If you get called a "Pommie (+/- Bastard)", it is a racial slur. Your best bet is to buy a Commodore and try to blend in.
Australia day is coming up. January 26. You should peruse the following link if you're going to be on our end during this event: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4AchHTN-XQ
It's also the middle of summer right now, as opposed to your lovely Britannian winter. A typical summer's day would see the temperature hit somewhere between 35° and 42° as a maxiumum with 25°-30° as the minimum.
When you get to Perth, if you are looking to party some, go to Northbridge, just north of Perth City.
That is where most of the nightclubs and restaurants are in Perth.
For beach front partying......well, just about every beach in and around Perth has a pub near it.
Bring your dark glasses for unobtrusive 'bird watching'.
As mentioned in a few previous posts, watch out for spiders that are black with a red spot on them.
It is the time of year here for them.
If you see one don't mess with it, bug spray is your friend with those.... or anything handy you can smack it with.
As far as snakes go, if you see one, stay away from it. Most snakes over here are poisonous.

At least you don't get made fun of for being a wog.
I wasn't planning on getting so drunk I cannot stand in any place by myself, I'll likely find someone to get drunk with.
Thanks for the advice about animals, I'll avoid 'em.
I'm a pro at bird watching.
What is a 'drop bear'?
Quote:Turkey also has amazing food especially fish, if you're in Istanbul on the western side of the Bosphorous you support Galatasary, if you're on the eastern side you support Fenerbache, don't mix them up or you will very likely die.
Who/what are they?

I'm rather attached to my anus, so I'll avoid dark alleyways while I'm there.
