This post has “R” rated content. If you feel you might be offended then I suggest you look the other way for the next picture.
The Sex Machine Museum with over two hundred and fifty “things” or so they say.
Well that’s the “R” rated bit out of the way back to proper Prague.
The Czech Republic is one of the most non religious countries in the world it contains just over ten and a half million people with 1.3 million living in Prague.
With a long and diverse political history Czechoslovakia became Czechia or the Czech Republic by way of a peaceful revolution in November 1989 and returned to a liberal democracy.
In 2006 the Czech Republic was recognised by the World Bank as a “developed country” this coincidentally was about the time McDonald’s, KFC, Burger King and Subway got there greasy fingers in the Chimney Cake Market.
The Czech Republic has the highest beer consumption in the world at 161 litres per person per year. Beer production started in 993 and they have been at it ever since. As a tourist I feel obliged to sample as much of the local product as possible and I have been giving it a good try, however I fear five or six days just won’t be long enough. Maybe I have to get up earlier.
Yes yes, pictures I know.
“Czech Musicians” – statues by Anna Chromy’ at Senovážné square. The dancing statues all play different instruments and are blindfolded. They represent the major rivers of the world. The statue with a mandolin represents the Indian river Ganges, the statue with a flute, the Amazon river, the statue with a violin, the Danube and the one with a trumpet, the Mississippi river.

By the way Belarus Has the highest alcohol consumption in the world by a comfortable margin at about 18 litres per person per year of full strength alcohol. Less comfortable are the eleven percent of the population that are physically dependant on alcohol.
