The American Bar at the Obecni Dum, Prague, Bohemia(CZ), 2015

Like most "American" bars in Europe, this bar bore no resemblence to any bar I've been to in the United States. It's in the basement of the Obecni Dum, or Municipal House, and features a fake waterfall build in an Art Nouveau style. Indeed, the whole of this very-large, very ornate building is constructed in this style. The main reason I didn't include the large number of cameraphone shots I took on this day is that I knew that other people on iPernity would inevitably have better shots with "real" cameras, and in any case I had too much material to go through given that I'm trying to catch up on an 8-year backlog of photos right now.

In any case, the anecdote from this visit that stands out in my memory was that the bar was playing Bob Dylan's "Blowing in the Wind" over the sound system. I was travelling with one of my Greek friends, and she asked me "Jon, what is this crap?" I said "It's Bob Dylan," and she said "NO IT'S NOT!!," and wouldn't believe me that this was how Bob Dylan sounded.
