In the last few days I went to a place called Beer Factory, toured the Jewish Town, went to Tesco about three times, went to the Louis Armstrong Restaurant, and made fun of New Jersey.
But then again, it's New Jersey. How could I not?
More (not making fun of New Jersey) after the jump. This one's a long post.

Czeching Out Prague
I know, I'm hilarious, right?
So I finally made it around Prague- I fell asleep at about 5 the first day and didn't wake up.
I had my first beer- it's a little bit sharp, but I suppose I'll have to adjust to like it.
I also had my second beer. The director of the program wasn't kidding when they said the beer was strong! I had one before going to bed and it was just the thing I needed- slept like a baby.
I went to a bar with a friend, and after walking in and sitting down at the bar, the bartender asked if I was 18. Oh well.
It's cold here, but not much colder than in New York. Unlike New York, I have to worry about falling icicles and snow. Every few blocks there will be an area with police tape up- that means there's a lot of snow or ice on top of the building that might fall and hit you. Fun stuff.
This is a place a few blocks down from my dorm. It has something to do with a tailor- Krejci (the C should have a hacek- the little V mark) means tailor.
I'm still working on figure out the proper key codes to add haceks to all my letters.
Going out to dinner shortly!
Na shledanou! (Nah Skleh-dah-nou. Think Canadian oo for the ou)

They don't have signs like this. There are a lot of signs, but they're all in Czech.

Prague Arrival!
Finally arrived in Prague today!
From JFK to Paris
I don't think this is Prague. I think it's like the Newark to New Jersey, or the area by JFK to Manhattan. Close, but the "flyover area".
A rainbow followed our plane from Paris to Prague, which I thought was a good sign.
More after the jump.
From JFK to Paris
(Paris lit up at 4 am their time)
and from Paris to Prague!

Photographs of Home
This is mostly for me when I get homesick.
Some of the things I'll miss most from home.
Image heavy, so the rest is behind the jump.
