In October Jasmijn and I both managed to score speaking slots at the 2nd Annual European Conference for Critical Animal Studies in Prague, interested as we are in esoteric socio-philosophical theories about human-animal relations. In particular, I was deeply interested in the troubled relations between the citizens of medieval Prague and the fabled Golem, which unfortunately seemed to regularly end in disaster when the Golem ran amok. And so we prepared our powerpoint presentations, gathered our cryptozoological research tools, and boarded our fateful flight to one of Europe's most haunted cities...

We stayed in a very up-market hostel at the end of Charles Bridge.
Actually, we stayed at the far (West) end, below Prague Castle visible on the hill above the palace district.
We stayed virtually at the base of the large tower of the West Gate to the bridge.
This was the entrance hall to our hostel. Art was everywhere, all of it for sale.
Our conference was in Charles University, opposite the Rudolfinum Concert Hall here.
The students of this university obviously had very broad-minded lecturers. Why didn't we get to learn witchcraft in vet school???!!!
After the first day of lectures we all participated in a service and march through the old city, to remember the billions of animals killed annually for human purposes.
After dinner, we headed for the social event at the K4 Student Club. However, it appeared to have been taken over by a heavy metal DJ and his fans. The 'screaming dinosaur' soundtrack scared us all away in search of a happier ambience.
We wandered the Old City streets in search of a decent pub.
