Oh, how I have missed thee so.
One week of Czech intensive done- the last week starts tomorrow. Booked tickets to Budapest for this weekend and Krakow in Octobter. Here's the thing- I will be on a guided tour of Auschwitz on... Halloween weekend. I.e, while my fellow American peers are using this Pagan holiday as an excuse to wear scant lingerie in public at massive keggers, I will be touring the most notorious Jewish extermination camp in the history of the world.
Wah-wah-wawawaaaaa....
But I suppose it should be pretty amazing regardless. Went to see Goran Bregovic in Old Town Square a few nights ago- the guy who did the soundtrack for Borat, categorized as "gypsy music". AMAZING! Checked out a Vino festival yesterday complete with "young wine" which ferments in your stomach and a dude on stilts. Can't complain. Well, I guess that I can complain about the fact that I have neglected to do laundry since the day I arrived. But I suppose this is one upside to the standard of hygiene I've experienced. Heck, I'll just pass as a local even more so.
No word from the President yet. He's probably too busy bathing....
Naht.
Ohhh Maria, this post is amazing. So, you get to the golden arches pretty frequently then? Is Czech food really that bad? haha.
ReplyDeleteI'm really jealous you're going to Auschwitz, even if it is on Halloween! I'm sure it will be amazing. I hope your next week of language class goes well! Miss you!
