Czech Orientation

Yesterday was our summer school orientation we figured it would be a quick morning of getting to know our classmates and some advice to help familiarize ourselves with Prague. Little did we know it would be a 3-hour Czech history lesson from 955-1989. While the lecture was interesting, jet-lag and a slight hangover made the morning pretty miserable. The best part of orientation was meeting our neighbors! We met two girls (Tara and Morgan) from New England Law School in Boston that live in the same small apartment building as us.

In order to save money we decided to go grocery shopping walked half way across the Czech Republic (or at least it felt like it) and found a huge chain grocery store called the Billa. I attempted to take pictures of the store but got yelled at by an employee, at least I got one! Grocery shopping is much more difficult when everything is in Czech we had to guess what everything was, poor Erica bought liquid sour cream instead of coffee creamer.

After trying a few days of trying Czech food (which is pretty interesting) we all agreed it would be best to hunt down some Mexican food. We found an awesome place pretty close to our apartment we had delicious Mexican food and even got free tequila shots. After dinner we wandered around and found a trendy bar called Harley’s, the bar was full of Harley motorcycle décor it was a pretty rowdy place but seems really fun, I’m sure we’ll make it back there in the next 6 weeks.
