I'm here
in my first workcamp in the Czech Republic. I have spent the last few days
in Praha, which is a great city. The train ride was pretty cool and my
first night in Praha was also very fun. The next night I hung out with
one of the people in the dorm, Steve, who is from Michigan. He is a pretty
cool person and just a young guy wandering around Europe on his semester
break. During the day I hung out in Praha, walking around old town and
across Karlove Moot, the bridge across the river in Praha. Walking around Praha
is very nice. The town in not like other large cities in Europe
that I have visited. It is difficult to place my finger on the different
qualities right now other than the feel of the town is not like a major
city. Praha also has some very beautiful women. The Czech men are very
lucky.
The next day my sole objective was
to buy some soap and some shaving cream. I also had to get my ticket at
the bus station so I could make it out to Broumov. These three activities
took most of the day. In fact, after eating breakfast I didn't make it
back to the hostel, except for a few minutes to ask for some directions,
until past 4:00pm. When I got back I shaved my head and face and then talked
to some English guys in our dorm. They had some great stories about being
in the military and life in general. I was pretty hungry so Steve and I
made our way down the street and ate and then hooked up with the English
down in the bar. We had a pretty cool time drinking and talking. After
the hostel bar closed we headed out and messed around, eventually ending
up in some bar where we drank until about 3:00am. We all had a great time
as, once again, the English have proven to be a lot of fun. It's getting
late and I want to make sure I'm on my toes tomorrow so I will be bailing
for the evening.
