as you can all see from my lack of posting, my computer obviously decided to die on me for the first time during my third week in a foreign land. this is why i havent updated in so long...sorry buds. im also using a czech keyboard right now so typing is a little difficult and i dont know how to type a smiley face or an explanation point or an apostrophe...so excuse the blandness and bad grammar. ill try to give a quick rundown of the last bunch of days here in the czech lands...
we went on an overnight trip to a small city about three hours south of Prague called cesky krumlov. theres a gorgeous old castle, which is normally closed during the winter because its so damn cold inside, a brewery, and lots of little fun tourist shops. theres also an old synogogue that has been abandoned since WWII, so that was kind of an intense experience. after dinner one night at the brewery..i had fried cheese, obviously..we danced the night away with a gypsy band, which was awesome. they played all this traditional czech music...kind of like ten rounds of the horah for a few hours. then we all headed to a small bar in town that opened just for us americans to watch THE SUPERBOWL, which began at midnight and lasted till the weeeeee hours. really weird not only to watch with czech commentary, but also with a bunch of czech people who have never seen american football in their lives. they found it all really boring. the city was completely abandoned during communism, and was recently revitalized as a huge tourist attraction, so czech people have different views on the town, depending on how old they are. i have tons of pictures but i must wait for the return of my computer before sharing...
more study abroad programs have begun since we arrived, so the american student population is slowly starting to take over prague. its nice to have some fellow badgers in town to hang out with and i get the chance to see some neighborhoods i normally wouldnt have ventured to. hellooooo jill brad grant sam vender.
i think thats enough for now.
czech ya later
