Cab drivers aren't your friend......


...either they are ripping you off, or they are trying to run you over. Thats all they are good for.


Anyhoo, spent last night wandering around, getting down the roads from my apartment to Old Town square to Wenceslas Square, and back to Republic square and my apartment. Hopefully that prevents any more getting lost issues. Found Sarah's favorite restaurant, so she can be mad at me now :)


I never thought I'd say this, but I am getting sick of beer. It is a great drink, but its the only cheap drink. Coke often costs twice as much. Coffee is not coffee, order a coffee and most likely you'll end up with an espresso. McDonalds still has a dollar menu, so I'm happy (actually here, its a 20kc menu, which is just over a dollar). You also get a bottled water and a drink with your value meals there.


Gluhwein is not too good, that is something I can cross off my list of drinks to try.


First day of classes went good. Learned a little Czech alphabet, and what the goofy symbols mean. R's are horrible, normal r's are rolled, which I can't do and ř's have a g/j sound to them, kinda like juh. Oh, and Novak like we pronounce it should really be Novàk.


The picture is from Wenceslas Square. More of my pics can (maybe) be found here: http://mtu.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2042187&id=6603926 and http://mtu.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2042125&id=6603926. Dunno if that works for non-facebook people or not, so let me know if it doesn't.

It is so not fair that you have a TGIFridays in Prague and we can't even have one in Houghton!!! Now if you find an Olive Garden, I'll REALLY be angry :)

I miss you and I love you :)
