7:36PM - uzbek food

Good heavens the food was wonderful. Its called, appropriately enough: Uzbekistan (aka: УЗБЕКИСТАН). I had salad Tashkent and the plov. The plov was prepared at the side of the table by the chef. It was taken very seriously. Plov, for the uninitiated, is pilaf. It was ... amazing. It can be found at ulitsa neglinnaya (Неглинная) 29/14 - 127051 MOSCOW.

11:38AM - mojito

Oh, Tacos y Tequila in Schwabing has good mojitos. Most near to Fonda's on Solano in Albany that I have been able to find. A promising place called "Cocktail Bar" in Alte Schwabing proved to make terrible mojitos but charged Schwabing prices.

10:30AM - as Jan Palach

A couple days ago a troubled young man by the name of Zdenek Adamec, self-immolated himself in Prague at the same place that Jan Palach did. When I was in Prague at that place it made me feel most uneasy. You can look at his face, as there is a death mask hanging near by. I know exactly where this boy just died. What does it take to make a young man set himself on fire? Perhaps he deserves that you read his suicide note. He was lonely, did not like war, wanted clean air, and did not like MS Windows. You can also find more about this at the Prague Post.
