Introduction
The Great Market Hall, like Nyugati Budapest, the train station right next to our flat, is a building that was designed by the guy who designed the Eiffel Tower, ... ummm ... Mr. Eiffel. It has the freshest of fresh foods, along with the highest concentration of paprika in one area anywhere on Earth. Vaci Utca is a pedestrian shopping area that leads away from the market back downtown. However, it has become really overpriced for most stuff because it's laden with tourists. Cafe Gerbaud is a very bourgeious cafe, restaurant, and sweetshop on Vörösmarty Ter (Square) where I convinced Luke to stop and eat an overpriced sundae, which I still defend. Last night I opened up Prague for the first time, a novel we carried here from the U.S. by Arthur Phillips. My redeemer -- Chapter One starts with a group of Americans sitting on the terrace in Cafe Gerbaud.
