went to see Alice in Wonderland here in prague...we had to do a little extra work to make sure we were seeing a version with czech subtitles, rather than czech dubbing. i honestly didn't think that every major blockbuster would be coming out in the czech republic at the same time as in America - shows how much i know :p it was actually really nice to sit and hear the English language for 2 straight hours. i've always loved the alice in wonderland story and i think tim burton is fabulous, so the combination for me was great. definitely recommend!
some other girls on my program and i have started making brunch every saturday...its kind of adorable. this past weekend we made fruit salad (verrrrry limited fruit selection here) and potato latkes (potato pancakes, for my gentile readers)! the only thing we could find that was close to apple sauce was baby food...so we just used yogurt to eat them with, which was actually a delicious substitute.
last night i went to see a play called Money From Hitler (Penize od Hitlera) which was in Czech with English subtitles on an overscreen projector. after getting past the annoyance of watching a play with subtitles, it was a really great show. it was about a German Jewish woman whose family was living in the German occupied Sudetenland in, what was then, Czechoslovakia, at start of World War II. when she returns to her home after her concentration camp experience, she is faced with a new family living in her home and many other issues. the play takes place in 2005, when she meets the descendants of the family who took her house and must deal with a whole other set of issues. it's amazing how seeing just one play can tell you so much about czech history.
i think that's enough for now.
Ahoj!
