Trip to Prague, Czech Republic

I finally made it out of Poland and into another country. I am speaking about the Czech Republic of course. To get there, I took a night train in a sleeper car. I had never been on a train like that so it was cool to leave from Krakow and then wake up in a whole new country. The train conductor (I think that's what the guy taking care of the sleeper car was called) was a very funny Czech guy, and the Czech he spoke was hilarious. To say "Yes-Yes" it sounded like "Yoh-Yoh". Also in Czech the way you say "Hi" is "Ahoj" ("A Hoy"). I guess the pirates had to get it from somewhere.
So we woke up around 6:30AM and left from the train station. After figuring out how to use the metro, we made it to our hostel and luckily we were allowed to keep our stuff in the room even though it was really to early to check in. Once we were settled, we went and toured the city by ourselves. The first thing we got a good look at was called The Powder Gate which was a pretty city gate in the Gothic style. After passing that gate we got to the Old City Square where there were more churches and an interesting clock tower. The clock tower was unique because it showed the astrological time and positions of the sun and moon in certain constellations. On the hour, we saw the clock chime and a procession of the Apostles appeared through windows of the clock. We climbed up the tower to get a good look of the city, but I did not like the climb at all because I don't like heights. The view was great and we could see all around the city with all the red-roofed buildings. Then we made our way over the Charles Bridge. The bridge was beautiful again and had around 30 large statues along the walls of the bridge. Once on the other side, we just wondered and looked at all the different styles and architecture. For lunch we went to a nice place with Czech food where I bought sausage in dark beer and then Czech Goulash with bread dumplings. They were both spicy and tasty.
Our first night of going to bars and clubs I would consider a failure. At first we went to a pretty good pub with  a unique kitschy atmosphere. There were eyes on the walls and baby dolls in the windows. Also the illustrations on the walls were strange to see. After we got bored there, we tried to go to a dancing club but just ended up at a place called Bombay which had people there in their thirties and forties... way too old. After that we just gave up and went to sleep.
Saturday we had breakfast in the hostel which consisted of bread, cheese, and ham. There was also hot tea, but it definitely was not earl grey. The showers at the hostel we also a little different because you had to keep pushing the button to make the water come out like one of the faucet heads for a sink. During the day, we got our 1-day metro passes and made our way to a big hill next to the city that had an Eiffel Tower looking structure. We climbed all 299 stairs to the top and once again got a pretty view. Then we made our way to the castle in Prague. The cathedral was cool to see but there were tons of tourists. I really thought the stained glass windows were something to see. The rest of the castle was cool too, but I don't think we appreciated the castle as much since we were so tired from climbing the tower on the hill. Finally we made it to another Czech restaurant that was probably the cheapest, but it had great food. Then after some shopping by the girls we prepared to go out for the night.
Luckily, one of the girls had a friend in Prague who showed us around a bit. After dinner we went to a bar called The Pub. It was cool because there were taps at each table where you could pour your own beer. Everything was measured and you could compete with your friends about how much beer you drank. Also, a monitor kept track of the number of beers for each table. We didn't do too well since we were not a big group. Then the night took us to a five story night club with different music on each floor. As soon as we got there we saw the security roughly throwing three guys out of the club. I think a few of them had bad bloody noses, but that sight surprisingly didn't make us want to leave. There was a lot of smoke in the place, but it was a much younger crowd and much more fun. Apparently, it is the biggest night club in Central Europe.
The last day everyone was tired and not in the mood to spend anymore money, so we took it easy. The day mostly consisted of going from restaurant to cafe and sitting. We tried to go see the Jewish cemetery in Prague but it cost too much ($10 / 200 Czech Crowns). I liked that we took it easy that day and then finally made it back to the train. In the station there were a few prostitutes. I didn't know what the women were until I heard them proposition a few men walking by. The train ride back was uneventful, and the conductor was German I think and not quite as interesting as the Czech guy.
