After my day tour around the major sights in Brno, I met a bunch of new friends from all over the world: Chris from England, AJ from the US, Helena from Czech Republic, Ray from Nigeria, Angie from Sweden, Antonio from Brazil and Daria from Russia. We had dinner at Stredoveka Krcma, a medieval restaurant near the Freedom Square. Earlier that day, I have seen a guy standing on the street in a medieval costume while holding a placard with Czech words. I never thought that he was the walking advertisement for this particular medieval restaurant. The entrance to the restaurant was a bit creepy. It was a bit dark. We were led down a flight of stairs by the hostess who was also in medieval garb.
We first had wine while we figure out what to order for our main course. I'm not really a wine drinker so it took me a long time to finish what I ordered. The other guys had ordered their second drinks while I was still halfway through finishing my first drink! I liked how their drinks were served in classic medieval mugs. It made me feel like I time-traveled centuries ago!
Since I didn't understand most of the food written on the menu, I ended up ordering grilled chicken just to be safe. It wasn't cheap though, it cost me 140 CZK or around 345 PHP. Thirty minutes after we made our orders, our food finally arrived.
As we were eating, two tall, well-chiseled men in medieval costumes were roaming around the restaurant to warm up for their "battle". A while later, they were already punching each other, rolling on the ground and doing all sorts of silly things just to entertain the customers.
They likewise got some customers to join their "battle". First they got Ray to act as a slave and Angie to do the whipping on him. It was really funny to see them participate in the whole medieval "battle" experience. Later on, one of the guys pulled me from my seat and told me to whip another guy. I was so embarrassed! Haha!
