when asked in czech class for an important date in american history I said 1969...
and then it was the class's job to guess which significant event I was thinking of. I guess not everyone's dad was at Woodstock because no one knew.
The mystery pyramid is a theatre! That did turn out to be quite the adventure. We fueled up at McDonald's on the way and then walked there in the rain. Well it wasn't THAT adventurous.
Has anyone written a book about homeless culture all over the world? I'm intrigued by how begging techniques differ throughout. In prague you will only see people down on their knees with their heads bowed to the ground, maybe a sign, and a hat/receptacle of some sort. We had our own little anthropological discussion on our way to dinner about this behavior compared to some of the people of the streets of New York. Stories were shared about this regular here and that there who all shout at you, some more comprehensible than others. Of course they are only the ones who stand out. I'll have to look into homeless and jobless statistics here compared to New York because I've seen a total of 3 guys begging on the street here, I think. Maybe that's deceptive? Vamos a ver.

A theatre. Awesome! I love that you used Google Earth. What a perfect use for it
Czech is a socialist country, maybe there is a safety net for the very poor, or maybe lack of begging is a sign that there is tight security on the streets. Very interesting question. BTW, there was no begging in Cuba - socialist country with safety net, strict security.
1969 was the most important year of the revolution. Doesn't everyone know that?
