After we spent a couple of minutes looking around the apartment, Mike and I dropped our bags and went to the closest restaurant to get a bite to eat. Our eating schedules were off and even though it was daytime, our bodies told us we should be sleeping.
Now our block and surrounding area has the most pubs per capita in the whole entire world. You would think a typical first meal would be at an authentic Czech pub... nope not us, we decided to play it safe and go the american route... PIZZA.

When we walked into the pizza place people were staring at us like we broke a window. The whole restaurant got silent. While the pizza place was called Einstein's Pizza, we were definitely not geniuses in the "cultural differences" department
We stupidly waited in the middle of the door way for a hostess to seat us, where in Prague every restaurant is self seating. Also the majority of the restaurants and stores do not have self closing doors, so every time you walk into a place it is expected that you close the door behind you... we did not do this. We were so accustomed having almost every door close behind us. To put the icing on the cake, we were the posterboys for various different american clothing companies.
Mike, who is from Minnesota, walked in with a purple and gold Minnesota viking hats with flashy writing, a Minnesota wild T-shirt, looser jeans ( as compared to europeans) and sneakers. I was wearing my Chicago cubs baseball hat and an Abercrombie and fitch shirt and casual shorts.
