Pretty Webby Things
It’s about 10am here and I’m done with my first batch of laundry for the day. Hooray! Plus = I like the smell of the cheap Euro Shopper blue colored detergent. Minus = no friggin’ dryers in this country which means I gotta go old school.
Ok, I Photoshopped some stuff…..as per usual, click for bigger. *Note: these are ’saved for the web’ images and as such, they are seriously downgraded. Web images lose a lot of color and ‘pop’ but of course smaller images are easier to upload and take up far less space. Just know the originals are better than what you see here.
1. Cool metal dudes at St. Vitus
2. Pretty windows at St. Vitus
3. Stained glass reflections at St. Vitus
4. View of Prague from the top of one of the Charles Bridge Towers. The sun was out briefly that day, so it was nice!
5. This guy is at the top of the steps of the Tower from #4. I don’t know who he is or how old he is but I like how creepy he is without a face just standing there greeting everyone.
6. This is about 2 blocks from my crib. The Powder Tower is right next to it but I’ll post a photo of that at a later time.
In other news, I got a job yesterday. This is a good thing. Feel free to ask The Google about Skrivanek. Already have a seminar on Friday. Hot diggity!
Hmm… someone asked me the other day if I was still buying strange food just for the fun of it. Well, the ham roll is still the weirdest thing but I did see a new aspic-laden item at Albert yesterday. It was some kind of fish (with scales) rolled up with stuff inside and under a thick layer of aspic. Mmm, delicious! I did not buy this. I did however, get some kind of cheese spread. I don’t know what it’s called but since it had SYR in one of the words, I know that’s cheese so my awesome powers of deduction figured this out. I will report it’s delicious.
It’s our (re: MY) responsibility to take out the ‘new class’ at The Language House. I will gladly go in and tell them to meet up with us so we can all go out. However, these people will not be coming to my abode. Why? Well, I don’t think I’d invite 15 of my real friends over–not even when I had an established residence in the US. Not gonna happen. Anyway, the drawback is that I do not want to be the ‘leader’ in the actual bar crawl as I have no fucking clue where to go in Old Town. The bars are EVERYWHERE and my sense of direction is fucked here as the streets do not follow an orderly pattern. Boo! When we were given the drinking tour, we ended up following some drunken English broad that didn’t know where she was going so we got to experience our first time on the night tram. Hooray!
Ok, the sun has been out since I got up 2 hours ago. This is insanity. I must go enjoy my day!
