Re: recon report Halle-Wrocław-Świeradów Zdrój-Prague
1. Halle. Still quiet and provincial. Fewer drunks and baldies in the streets at night. Nice hotel opposite huge brothel. Great bookshops, scored Spengler's Untergang for 9 euros and two books by Austrian Ueber-detective Thomas Müller - fascinating stuff.
2. Wrocław. An elegant town, being diligently restored to its former glory. The Museum of Architecture housed in the former monastery of St Bernardine is interesting: modern Polish architecture seems to be very formalist and functionalist. Another thing that is huge here: Kalashnikov-shooting.
3. Świeradów Zdrój. A rural town in the hills bordering Czechia. Polish standard of living has visibly improved since agent’s last visit in 2000. Operating from a beautiful country house up in the hills agent did a language test. He spoke German to the locals for three days, to which they reacted either politely or aversely. He then spoke English with an American accent to them, to which they reacted enthusiastically. Local restaurants suck, but a peasant women cooked us up some delicious sauerkraut dishes. Polish tomatoes are something else: huge, meaty suckers, extremely tasty.
4. Prague. Agent has seen the Golem! Its name is ‘Tourist’ and it roams the inner city day and night, unable to speak, yet wreaking havoc on jews and gentiles alike. Prague used to be a sleepy provincial town; everyone who was born there and had talent went to Vienna, Berlin, Paris or New York. Agent suspects this is still the case; there is not a shred of the old Prague genius to be found, every hot spot is commercialized to death. The local passion is beer, thank heavens it is such great stuff. After agent walked out of the subway on Wenceslas square and saw that it led directly into a huge McDonald’s, he plugged his ears and raised his eyesight above street level for the rest of his stay. The river is still kind to everyone though, and so, amazingly, are the locals.
