Manes and Dancing house

Prague - Manes and Dancing house
Manes tower on the left, Dancing house on the right (the one with a ball on the roof). If I remember it right our former president Vaclav Havel lived in this street before our velvet revolution and the state police was looking into his flat from the tower to see who visits him and what they are doing. The "watching place" is still inside it although devastated. As is the whole tower. It needs restoration very badly.

Dancing in Prague

Dancing house in Prague
This is where old meets new. The left slightly curved house is Prague's Dancing house (build in the late nineties).

You can read at Wikipedia article about Prague's Dancing house that our former president Vaclav Havel lived nearby. I can confirm this. My aunt was a postwoman in this Prague's district and she was delivering post to Vaclav Havel himself :)

Vaclav Havel is, after all, a writer, too. And a brilliant one. You can check his books and theater plays at Amazon
