    • As you can see people touched a spot on each statue over decades. These spots look really shiny compared with the rest of the statue....

    It supposed to bring luck, when you touch it. So go there, close your eyes, wish something nice and hope that it might get true.

    • Can you imagine that these poor guards have to stand outside of Prague Castle even in winter and can't move?

    • Pour some Absinth in a glass and put a cube of sugar on a spoon on top of the Glass. Now pour some Absinth on the sugar and burn the whole thing. When the sugar melted, pour the sugar-absinth-liquid into the glass and stir it a bit.

    And now: Bottoms up!
