I use to live in Globe way back when, lots of awesome memories, like the only time I worked for the Rodeo.

Granted, it's been over 10 years since I visited, but I had a great time there & the vibe from all over the city was great. Like it was just waking up.

Rep Power: 160 | | | Prague used to be magic. Just another tourist trap full of "travellers" now.

Rep Power: 153 | | | Ah, that's a shame. But it was getting a bit touristy even back then ... all the street vendors hawking "geniune Soviet-era souvenirs" and it was clear that they were all mass-produced "genuine" souvenirs.

Rep Power: 160 | | | Went out in '91 to train at the white water center out of town with the Czech slalom team. Was geared at the tourists even then but still fresh. It has changed a lot since.
