Vitam Vas V Praze

Prague is beautiful. I don't really know if that emphasizes it enough, because every corner, every nook of this town is gorgeous. Every street is amazing and every building is adorable. I'm been freaking out a bit the last couple days. I didn't have keys to my apartment, my phone here wasn't working, and I couldn't get Internet. But, now things seem to be falling into place, and I'm really starting to love this city. The language barrier is so strange. I've never experienced anything like it before. The dilemma becomes should I try to say something and risk it being wrong, say nothing at all and risk being rude, or should I speak in English and risk being a tourist. Hand gestures have become my best friend.

I'm at an internet cafe at the moment, and by internet cafe I mean bar. My beer was 75 cents, and absynthe is on the menu for about $2.50. I haven't had much of an opportunity to go out because of the overwhelming exhaustion that comes with the jetlag and with the constantly getting lost on the maze like streets here. But, yesterday after class, my roomates and I walked around Stare Mesto which is the big tourist area. Plus, since it is the week before Easter, there are booths lining the streets selling painted eggs, puppets, and hot dogs, amongst other things. We eventually ran into the river and could see the castle across the way. Nothing has actually sunk in yet. I just keep thinking that I'm stuck in Epcot center.
