Student agency is great. The nice, inexpensive yellow buses, with internet and power sockets make it possible for me to type up my first blog post right in the bus from Prague to Berlin.
Prague was a very nice first stop. Apart from staying with Tinka, it was sunny and warm all the time, which made ideal weather for my first street play on Vaclavske namesti. I have quite a few new of my own songs, plus new covers I want to include, thus sometimes I felt more like practicing. I dont like to play like that, but there was simply no time to practice in those barely 3 days between coming home from Ghana and leaving again. And it will improve, and I am sure that by the time I reach Oslo, I'll get into it.
In Prague, you cannot play anywhere, following some restrictions made couple of years ago. The map on the picture is what I guided myself with and although the best spots are forbidden, you can find a solid place for the performance. Apart from halfway up the Vaclavske namesti, I've also tried briefly place by Namesti republiky, both nice spots to play on (green on the map)
I had considered hitchhiking to Berlin, but Im not so sure it would be a good idea. My backpack is a bit more heavy then I expected - carrying the amplifier, microphone, all the cables, batteries and, of course, clothes and food, it might be close to 30 kilograms. Some days will be interesting :-)
Next stop - Berlin and a visit to Sebastian. Howgh
