I'm a Geek!

I admit it. Instead of enjoying any number of cultural activities available in Prague, I went to see Star Wars: Episode III. After 8 hours of walking around Prague today, the air conditioning was nice. Plus, I didn't want to break my streak of seeing the latest Star Wars movies overseas. I saw Episode I in Tegucigalpa, Episode II in Hong Kong and Kiev and now Episode III here. They're just not the same to me without subtitles or dubbing. It gives you something to pay attention to when the movies get boring. I think most of you know my theory that most movies would be better with an additional 10-15 minutes cut out of them, and these movies are no exception. I saw most of the major sights of Prague on a guided walking tour and met a nice woman from Ukraine (of course) who knew some of the Americans who were at the Embassy when I was. Now I have one more person to visit in Ukraine. I think someone is trying to tell me I need to go back there again soon.
