I have made it safe and sound to Prague. YAY. It was a long journey and a few hiccups on the way but those are all sorted out and everything is fine now.
Prague.... well it is a beautiful city with more history that I knew about. This past Sunday I was given a tour of the city including most of the well known places such as the Castle, King Charles Bridge, The Jewish Ghetto (yes that is the correct way to say it), and the Astrological Clock which is really just a large Koo Koo clock. We did see the Prime Minister out walking with his lady friend and their out of wedlock child. There was no security with him either.
The people here are wonderful. They are all very friendly and patient if I cannot pronounce my Czech properly. Although I was surprised by how many people spoke broken English. The Czech Republic is the drinking capital of the world. I believe it. Locals drink beer with almost every meal and you can get a class of beer anywhere you go to eat including Mc Donald's! Ha ha ha. Oh and for those of you that have asked.... yes there is a Starbucks! YAY for that.
Class... well there is only one word to describe it... INTENSE! I have loads of work everyday after being in class and teaching for 8-10 hours per day. They say that we will be busy about 80 hours per week. I thought there was no way that could be but after being in the class for three complete days, I believe it. On the second day of class we started teaching in pairs to Czech students from Prague that have paid a less price to be taught English by those of us that are going through the course. Thank goodness they are patient!
