I was there in Prague just before it was restored. Not sure if the restoration would even register if I had been there afterwards. However, what I can say is that the plaza below is amazing when the clock does its hourly chime thing and I'd hoped the atmosphere hasn't changed much - its like a big celebration. The view from the top is excellent as well and luckily open when I was there. Really the entire town is a sight I recommend to everyone. The AT&T style globe I didn't think was as bad of a change as the colors - I'm sure its all in attempt to modernize it. Regardless, good post, fren!
Thanks fren - I know this is fringe but everything seems to be tied together.
In terms of THE "Great Awakening" my hope is that some true historical data is revealed to humanity. After all, it IS our history and not solely "theirs"

Any travel tips? Going soon,
zero :) - I was there with work for a few weeks - was put up in an excellent business hotel and took the tube to work with others daily. However this was years ago and I'm sure its all changed a bit. On the weekends I was basically on my own or with a couple others for part of a day... and I just saw it all. Just walking the streets lined with 900 year old buildings is amazing. I never did make it to the red-light area (happily married) but I hear its the best around. McDonalds had some crazy shrimp burger thing with a black bun :) - and generally speaking eating out was ridiculously inexpensive - found some great places on my own, but also did an excellent Argentinian BBQ place in the basement of a very old building with a co-worker - we had beers a-plenty as well as steak and other meats similar to Brazilian and total was like $20. I just really enjoyed the architecture - in particular the clock, a few cathedrals, some fancy bridge lined with statues and dudes playing the hurdy-gurdy in old-time garb. I can recommend getting little eat-while-you-walk fruit baskets from any of the street vendors - kind of a rip-off, but at the same time wonderful. Have fun!
