Just a quick one today, I have to catch the train to Pilsen in about 20 minutes...
The vending machine in the dorms has beer in it, 20 crowns. It's not cold, but--and I don't know how else to emphasize this--YOU CAN BUY BEER IN A DORM ROOM VENDING MACHINE HERE!
Aside from discovering all sorts of new things to see and do without even leaving my dorm, I spent yesterday at a football (football=soccer) game. I took a lot of notes, so that'll be the subject of the next substantial blog.
On Saturday night, Ashley and I went to a little bar near our class building called Duende and had beers there for a while. Surprisingly, we met an American there who was practically in love with us when he learned that we were from the University of Montana because he loves the poetry of Richard Hugo, former creative writing chair at UM. But rather than discuss poetry, he told us why Jersey girls were so much better than New York girls. He got no arguments from me.
Some personal notes:
Josh and Dad: I have raised my glass for both of you. Several times, in fact.
Kate: I was looking for a map of the subway, and found that the travel notebook you got me already has one. Stupid Sean...
Curt and Terri: Glad to see you're enjoying these, I hope to keep doing this in some form or another when I get back to the states.
John: There was a restaurant nearby that had about 4 or 5 Northern Pike dishes. Weird, methinks...
To all of you who think Ashley's blog is cooler: You are jerks. Especially you, McKee.
OK, that's it. Gotta jet.

Sean, This is "McKee Ma"-not your Ma-or Mommy. Ash told me to check out your blog, that it was very interesting. And she was right. (I had wondered how you were doing anyway) It's so interesting to "see" Prague through both of your adventurous eyes. I had begun reading about the Romany and the situation or their situation over there when I first heard about your project. (I've actually been fascinated by the Gypsy culture since I was a very young girl-another story for another time-we'll have you over for dinner and wine again and discuss lol) It sounds like there is some intersting history and attitudes to explore. Enough for now-I've been at "work" for an hour now doing nothing but reading your and Ash's blogs-the State dollars at work! take care and ENJOY!
that is very strange. My impression of what people though about Northern Pike in Europe was that they are a nuisance.
I haven't caught a single fish since you left. ya.
