Arrival-1/22/14
I got into Prague today at about noon and have been unpacking (but mostly fighting off sleep) since then. We just went out to dinner, checked out the supermarket, and walked around some neighborhoods to start getting an idea of the area. I am continually going through different stages of nervousness and excitement, but I think after a couple days I will be much better adapted to this new environment. On the bright side my roommate (Jon) and I seem to get along pretty well so that is making the immediate transition a little easier. I'm starting to learn some of the basic phrases and also getting better with the totally different monetary system. Hopefully, I will get some pictures tomorrow to post and give an idea of where I'm at...too tired right now.

So happy to hear that you're safe and sound...I remember the exhaustion factor, traveling from one continent to the other...hopefully you'll have much time for sleep in the near future...look forward to the pictures...thanks for letting us know you're there and getting started! luv ya!
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a good time in Prague, or should I say PRAAAWG!
ReplyDeleteTwo things two remember:
1 - Besides "ahoj" (hello), all you need to know is "Chtěl bych si koupit pivo, prosím" (I would like to buy beer please).
2 - Only change money in licenced exchanges and check prices before buying anything. Gypsies will only target you if you look like an easy target. Or just become a gypsy and call it a win-win.
Take care of yourself. Na zdraví!
