Preparations

This East­ern Europe trip is almost begin­ning to be organ­ised… That’s not the spirit of it! Well, never mind, I’d rather be organ­ised with a roof over my head than spon­tan­eous without. The hos­tels are booked for 3 of 5 cit­ies now, and we have more than enough time to sort out the other 2 when we get there. We’ve even organ­ised not only to meet some people I know, but to go and watch them sing in a con­cert… in a salt cave. As you usu­ally do on a tour of pol­ish con­cert ven­ues! I’ve also been on Lonely Planet pok­ing around for good places to visit and drink. Prague is fam­ous for its jazz clubs after all!

I watched a really weird film today (been watch­ing a lot recently, I watched Hotel Rwanda last night and it made me really upset) called The Life Aquatic about a failed sealife doc­u­ment­ary maker. There seems to be a bit of a trend recently, after the pre­vi­ous pat­tern of films being as real­istic as pos­sible, for films that are just a bit sur­real. This one had loads of weird people, fish and pir­ates, but it was still great. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bad film with Bill Mur­ray in it, although in a couple he hardly says any­thing (i.e Broken Flowers, Lost in Trans­la­tion).
