SPAIN: Eastern Europe.

Three of my friends and I went to Prague for the weekend! I was so excited to see Eastern Europe until my Hungarian friend told me there is still a Russian mob in the Czech Republic. Whatever the language is called makes me very thankful to be studying Spanish. Thursday night we want to a see a Jazz Band play. We met some Americans as they were taking shots of Absinthe. Always great to see an American. We stayed at a hostel which was slightly comparable to a fraternity house. When times are tough we all have to make sacrafices.

Overall I would say that Prague is so beautiful, the architecture is stunning, and it looks like a fairytale. The Czech people are not the nicest I will have to admit. Maybe because I was cheering for Spain while the were playing the Czech Republic in soccer. Or because they were communist not too long ago and tourism didn't exist until 1989? Kind of strange, eh. I learned some interesting facts at the Communist Museum that we visited. The Charles Bridge was beautiful! And the Prague castle! If anyone has ever seen the movie Chasing Liberty with Mandy Moore then you know what I am talking about. The food was tasty, too. Goulash is a typical Czech meal. They sold sausages everywhere. We kept seeing advertisements for "Thai Massages" and it cost about $17 bucks. Naturally, Sara and I decided to get one and it was one of the best decisions I've made in a while. Three out of the four of us got sick while we were in Prague.

I finally got back to old Alcalá sick as a dog. Don't worry, my Spanish sister assured me that if I ate some ham I would feel better.
