So far things have been somewhat chronological. What better place than Prague to lose oneself in the myriad of twisting cobblestoned streets. And so my chronology is also lost.

The bigger the city the quicker the evolution, and from various chat’s to various people, it seems London is as multi-faceted as the people that live there. A city for anyone, in whatever their timeframe.
