Cultural science experiments gone wrong

Breaking news: After a controlled science/drinking experiment, more than a few Aiesec researchers/trainees from Prague have sworn they will never do that again!


Like the guy who tried to see how many times he could get a slinky to slink (fell of a cliff), or that dude who put Chinese finger cuffs on all his digits, we were inspired to do something great for science.

The question was innocent enough. How many traditional drinks from how many countries can you slog down before you start speaking your own brand new language? Unfortunately the results are corrupted because in our excitement to start researching, we forgot to assign a control group. The only conclusive evidence points to Czech Republic as having the largest variety of oddly collored and equally odd tasting traditional "drinks." Of course they had an unfair advantage as the liquor store was just down the street. This led to just about anything highly alcoholic becoming a "national" drink. In any case, we are hanging up our lab coats as we all seem to prefer being lab rats to scientists.

And no, I don't have any party pictures for you. I left my camera in the hotel room that night, but you can click on the title of this entry to look at another trainees photos. I'm in a few of the shots.

The photos I've posted here are from the normal waking hours that weekend in the towns Pardubice, Kutna Hora and Seč.
