Arrival in Prague

Arrived safely (and early) in Prague today. The weather is almost to good to be true, 28 degrees celsius in the sun. It will only last for 2 days according to the local people - but I still enjoy it. Marek was kind enough to escort me away from the local taxi-maniacs and to the right dormitory. Marek seemed friendly, but unfortunately he do not live in Prague for the moment. Hope we can meet again though. After 20 minutes searching for the right papers, the clerk at the Masarykova finally found my name on a list. I will stay at the Masarykova for about one month. The apartment is ok. 2 people sharing 12 square metre bedroom, and 6 people sharing hall/kitchen. Currently I am alone, but I think more people will come on Monday when the language course starts. No livingroom or TV, but luckily I have internet :). Decided to take the Metro to town to look around. Did spend 3 hours walking from Müstek, over the bridge most legii, through the large castle at the top of a long staircase and finally managed to talk to an old man to show me the right direction to Dejvice. The plans for the rest of today is to find a place to eat nearby, drink a few beers and take it easy.

Todays strange thing: Staid in a park for about 20 minutes watching 3 old people selling homemade pictures, one man with no legs and a woman with some toy of a kind. Then all of a sudden everyone starts packing at the same time and rushes away to a nearby bench and hides their stuff. They did probably not have licence for selling stuff on the street. It was funny to watch though :)

Please let me know if you want me to tell about something in particular in my later posts.

Todays meal: Chicken stuffed with ham,pineapple and cheese
Todays alcohol: 3x0.5 Urquell
