So I finally have internet in my apartment, at least for the time being! The past week has been nothing short of exciting! We moved in a week ago now, and until now I haven't even had a chance to relax. Most of last week, orientation week, we just figured out our way around town and did some site seeing, of both sites and bars haha. We went out every night last week to some of the most popular bars here: U Sudu, Radost, M1, Chapeau, and many more. Last Saturday we did a pub crawl which was fun, but kind of a rip off unfortunately. But in reality, nothing is much of a rip off here since you can eat a full dinner with appetizers, main course, drinks, and deserts for no more than $10, and a beer is around $1. I have made some great friends here and we are starting to feel at home. At first I was lost almost everyday which made me feel very disoriented, but now I'm feeling much better about everything.
We started our intensive Czech classes on Monday and this language is not easy! We have been in class for about 5 hours now and I know about 3 words, not a great percentage. Oh well! Other than that, we start actual classes in two weeks and I have a pretty good schedule in terms of traveling.
We are starting to plan trips, and have been brainstorming where and when to go. Our newest idea is Dubai for spring break, so we'll see if that actually happens
As Far as the food goes here, it is decent. There are a lot of pizzerias and a lot of ethnic food, so I have been able to find things I like...although I eat about a loaf of bread a day it feels like. I have tried the traditional Czech food which is a lot of pork and potatoes, so it is really heavy, but I had to try it at some point I figured.
The next post will have some pictures of my room, some sites, and some friends, enjoy!
