The urinals are the finest I have ever seen and I would probably hesitate to relieve myself in such a work of art. What's not cool at all are the trash littered streets. To think that discarding your trash this way is commonplace makes my head spin.
The only good thing about being a litter bug is that it creates jobs.
What a contrast between the streets of Prague and England. Stepping over liter every inch along the way has got to take away from what a tourist is there for, enjoying the sites.
When we were in new Orleans during the Mardi Gras, by the end of the evening, the streets were covered in debris, but by the next morning they looked like this.
Oh dude Fat Tuesday in New Orleans puts everything to shame. I've been through there at other times though, that's why I didn't rank it. Fat Tuesday, though, and the week of Mardi Gras, makes England look like Macy's. I'm sure I got a Fat Tuesday photo in here somewhere.
Wassup man? Stark contrast eh? Thanks a lot for the reblog. I don't know if you caught this comment section; one of my UK friends shared a link stating 2,000,000 (two million) pieces of trash are discarded on the streets here per day. I didn't place any of what you saw, it's everywhere, just point and click.
Fun fact: Last time I was in New Orleans for Mardi Gras, I still drank. That'll sober you up right now. Fact—I stayed inside when the sun went. Not a good place to be that time of year for a drunk outsider. Prague.. any time, any day, I can't say enough good things about it.
Much thanks Sweed, I appreciate you keeping an eye on me this whole time. Now where's that photo....
That's a lot of trash and with no street sweepers how the heck does it all get picked up. Lets say they have 1,000 people on garbage patrol that means every person would have to pick up 2,000 pieces a day. Some of the shit in the street I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole.
When we went to New Orleans we booked the stay without realizing that it was the start of Mardi Gras. It was a whirl wind. The day we went to leave it took us better than 8 hours to get to our car. We were right in the middle of it all and couldn't find a way out, surrounded by the continuous parade. After walking around with our luggage in tow for several hours trying to find a way out we sat on a corner for another 4 hours before being able to cross the street.
Glad to have experienced the utter chaos, but would never do it again.
Love the masks!
