When in Rome... wait, where am I?

So I have been haneously immature here in Prague and I have gone out and experienced the nightlife every night I´ve been here.
There are a bunch of Brits in my hostel, and you know how they love to drink. I´ve had some interesting nights.... one involved Absynth. The real stuff. The horribly vile stuff. Yuck.
The clubs don´t close down until 5 AM so it has been making for very long nights and not much sightseeing during the day for lack of being able to get out of bed. I did make it to the castle today. I was on a mission.
The clubs are hilarious. The one we went to last night was a 5 story megaplex. The only floor that was crowded was playing terrible dance music. Like Bruce Spingsteen. I didńt understand.
The Brits are really nice and very protective of me. They shoo away any guys that try to dance with me or talk to me. Itś funny now that I think about it.... we all became very close in a short amount of time..... I almost feel like they are family. Of course, we will all go separate ways tomorrow. So... I guess itś like a family that you are not around enough to get pissed at.

So here is whatś funny. Our hostel is in a very non touristy area. And what I don´t understand is how upset the Czech people are with tourists. We walk into a restaurant (a non touristy one) and get completely ignored. When we go ask for a menu or simply to order food, the Czechś dramatically roll their eyes and make a loud sigh... like we are completely inconveniencing them. IN A RESTAURANT! Itś crazy.

I have actually developed a bit of a British accent. I´ve around Brits for like 6 days straight and you can hear them everywhere. I say things like "oh, it was quite lovely," or "he was quite wretched." I´m silly.
