Excerpt: Bits of Prague

I haven't been great about updating, but I attribute this partly to my difficulty in logging into this blog. I finally figured out how to connect my gmail to this blog so I can now post it without logging out of my e-mail. Yay! Expect more updates, perhaps.

Here is something I did write about Prague a few days ago:

I do really like Prague, although I think I'm affected by Rome syndrome, which is to say that nothing is exceptionally impressive anymore. It is pretty and interesting, though, from what I've seen so far (not much). I really want to see the dancing building. There are a lot of things I like about here. I like all of the natives I have met and conversed with so far, and I like that they have four different types of recycling bins on the street for every garbage can. It makes me happy. I like that their public transportation system is easy to figure out and I like that the city looks very unplanned – just layers of different architecture styles built across various centuries without regard for how the whole city fits. It’s fun. It’s eclectic. I like that you can purchase frozen frog legs at the local supermarket (though I don't plan on doing so), that the 24/7 stores are labeled "NONSTOP" and that groceries are incredibly cheap. I like that I don't understand the language - I am going to be taking courses soon though. I like that I am slowly learning the area (too slowly maybe but still).

I will post today's separately so I can backdate this!
