Prague Day One (April 24, 2007)
Spring 2007 Europe Trip

Its April 24, 2007 and I am with Basit taking an evening walk around Prague to try to beat back the jet lag. Fine trip here from San Francisco via Amsterdam. I lived in Prague of and on from 1990-94 whilst working for Elixir Technologies Corp, the company Basit Founded. I lead the charge in setting up a software development laboratory and hiring superb former cold warrior engineers here. Now there is an Elixir office here that supports European sales and integration whilst the development has moved to Basit's native Pakistan. Come with us now as we take an evening stroll through all the main highlights of the "New Town" and "Old Side" of Prague!
