Are we in a gay bar?

So we are at the halfway point of our trip and there are a few things that seem to happen everday.
1. Without a doubt, Peter will "lose" something everyday and get stressed out trying to find it. The things he misplace tend to be passport, but more than any its his camera.
2. I will always find something American to eat in every city and everyday.
3. Peter will not want to eat some American chain and we will walk around for an hour while Chris sees pizza places and Mc D's and complains about being hungry.
4. We will get lost and not have a map. But we always find our way back so its not so bad.

So there are the things that happen usually. Now we are in Prague and its an interesting city that took an adjustment period for us to get use to. Our first day was kinda rough. When we were taking the train from Berlin to Prague we crossed the border and the attendant comes through our cab and we promptly find out that our Eurail Global pass doesn't work in the Czech, so we need to pay him for a new ticket. At this point I'm kinda stressed but thankfully we have the cash to cover it otherwise we'd be stuck in some small town in the Czech for 2 hours while we get new tickets. Not good. Once we get here we're relaxed but over the course of the evening and night some pickepockets eye us up, only one actually tries to nick Peter, but thankfully he has the money belt on and he gets nothing. Another one I saw start to follow us so I turn around stop Peter and he does a 180 and goes the other way. So at this point we are not having a great day. Then we go to a club the person at the front desk of the hostel reccomends but unbeknowst to him that night was a gay night at the club and they only have that night twice a month so our luck was really rocky that day. So Peter and I get in there and have a few drinks and wonder where all the women were. We start wondering if its a gay club and we promptly leave. Turns out we were right, but yea.

Our second day was cool, we got to see Prague castle and the works. The city is gorgeous and the clubs don't close till about 5am, so pretty sick city all in all.
