More things....

More things I have seen and heard

-So all over Europe they do not care…
We were walking back to the train station on Friday at midnight (in Prague) and some guy starts to relieve himself in this little median with trees, next to the sidewalk. So sketchy!

-The Prague train station (Hlvada-Nminski or something) is Sketch
Arriving at 10 pm was not the best time to arrive for the first time. My friends has a terrible first impression of Prague. Poor and homeless people were all over, sitting and standing everywhere, talking to us in Czech and asking for money. I had to remain calm so they did not freak out. (We are fine you guys, no one is going to do anything, don’t worry)

-Czech teens are possessive over their ATM machines
We walked to the ATM to withdraw money and a crowd of Czechs were clustered there. The people were about our age, and looking like a gang. The ringleader girl saw us coming and moved to the front of the ATM to block it off. We waited a ways away and she just glared at us. We left when they didn’t move after 5 minutes. When we went back a few minutes later, they were gone and we were able to withdraw crowns.

-Tourist t-shirts are fun
A bunch of us got shirts that say “Prague: Czech me out.” (Czech is pronounced check, in case you were wondering…) We wore them in class today. I love it!

-I should have bought an IPOD
Train rides are very long. Six hours from Salzburg to Prague, and this is considered a short train ride. I had no music, but it was okay. It would have been nice to just put on headphones and zone out. Instead, I studied German and slept a little bit.

Ich will besseren Deutsch sprechen.
Deutsch is nicht easy. Meine class ist gut in die Profesorin is freundlich. Heute sprecht Eva “Ich bin schönes.” Haha Sie gibt ich die antwort im der examen. Das ist sehr gut. Ich verstehe oft nicht gut.
(Translation: I want to learn German better
German is not easy. My class is good and the professor is friendly. Today Eva said “I am beautiful” [to tell us what beautiful was in German] haha She gives me the answers on the test. That is really good. I often cannot understand well.

Um yeah, There is some Deutsch for you. It is hard to translate exactly. Word for word does not work. You just do what you can. More later homies!
