Hockey game!!!
Praha has 2 teams. Slavia Praha and Sparta Praha. The O2 Arena is 1 metro stop from my apartment, and it is the home rink to Sparta. So Kevin, Tim, Hayley, Kate, Annika and I all went to cheer on Sparta! It was different than NHL: no checking, much less violent than the NHL... (so not quite as exciting), a lot more advertising, and they played American 80's rock music during the breaks! It was so much fun! The fan were crazy, but not in a scary way. There is a home section right behind their goal and an away section. The home (Sparta) section was all in red and the cheering was constant and very organized!! It was hilarious to watch and try to participate. Although we had no idea what we were saying, it was fun to get into it. At the end Sparta was 3-2 and they lined up facing the home crowd and charged the boards and then all slid on their stomachs into the boards. It was hilarious!! Apparently a tradition if they win. Beer is so cheap and the fried cheese is incredible... Yes I can feel my arteries clogging with each bit, so I don't get it often. (I have no idea how they are so small here!)
Enjoy the pictures!!
