Wow. Had such a great meal last night, in the resturant opposite the hostel I stayed in. Spicy ribs; loads of meat, and the "slightly spicy" sauce was enough to be called hot by British standards, and yet was tasteful. Cheep nice beer too. Best meal I've had in months.

I'm now in Budweis . Much cheep beer abounds (say two pints for a pound). I'm not indulging.
