Escalators, Crepes, and To-Go Boxes

So far this week is off to a great start. The stress level has risen and that is to be expected. I am really pushing myself this week to get things done ahead of time so that this weekend I can enjoy my birthday! That's right for those of you that forgot my birthday is Saturday March 29th! YAY. I will be 24.

There is a reason that I titled this blog entry the way that I did. Mostly because I have had interesting experiences with all of the things listed; Escalators, Crepes and To-go boxes. Here is why:

Escalators are so steep it is scary. I mean it is like going up a hill in San Fran. I took a picture so take a look at it. From the bottom you cannot even see the top. People here actually run up and down them. Not me I enjoy the ride. Then there are the young guys that try to go up the escalators that are going down. One kid did it witha huge back-pack on! Props to him for making it to the top. When he did finally get to the top there was this huge crowd there cheering him on. I admit I clapped for him because it was nothing short of amazing.

Crepes... for those of you that have talked to me over the past month or so you know that one of the things that I gave up for Lent was sweets. So the other night I could finally have one and I did. Easter Sunday I had an authentic Czech crepe with my roomie Tina and Josh (the guy in my class from FL). It too was perfect. You could order it with so many different things inside. I had the one with coco and butter with powdered sugar on top. I talked Josh into getting the one with Nutella because he had never had Nutella before. Needless to say he will not be questioning my reccomendations again when it comes to food. A side not about Josh he is a great cook as well. So he and I often talk about different cooking techniques and food in general. We both agreed that it is hard to cook here without our own cooking tools. Anyway the crepes were great!

To-Go Boxes... well you hve to pay for them. It is not very much but you do have to pay. I was shocked the first time I had to do it. I thought maybe it was just at that one resturaunt but it seem to be the norm here. You have to pay for grocery bags here too. So it is important to always keep those things or I guess bring your own to-go box if you don't want to pay for one.

That is all for this entry. I will try to write another one soon! Enjoy the pictures. Ha ha ha
