Czeching in
Greetings. I am now in Lübeck but was in Prague for 3 days. I left Bettina in Hof on the 20th take the train.. well for the most part. I changed at Cheb in Czech into an old train which after a few stops had to call it quits and we had to move to a bus to take us 20 mins or so to another train station. I had no idea about this but luckily this Czech woman, who couldn't speak english, and I no czech or german, tried to tell me this. I realised after that what she said made sense but it didn't click in, but she was really nice and waved for me to follow her and made it to the train and then onto Prague.
Well, I think I may be the only one to say this but, I think Czech guys are pretty hot. Not all of them of course, but the ones that were attractive were very nice looking. The girls are very beautiful too. Maybe it is just the Polish part in me to find this.
Anyway, Prague is a very beautiful city. The architecture is quite amazing, though many buildings are a bit run down and need some cleaning up, was still an amazing place. On Thursday, Christian's friend Clair played tour guide and showed the visiting friends myself, Jack and Malorie (friends' of Will, Christian's roommate) and Dina (cousin of their friend Illiad?) around prague. Showing us the Prague Castle which is more just a huge palace, the royal gardens, Charles' bridge (which was made back in the 1400s and they used eggs in the concrete to hold the bricks together) and the touristy streets.
The first night I was there Christian and I went to the old tow square to watch the Germany vs Equador game (Germany winning) and later saw the England vs Sweden game (Sweden winning and now Sweden and Germany play tonight, perhaps my last game to see in Germany). Then on Thursday it was the big game for the US vs Ghana, but also Czech and Italy were playing, and since we were with many Americans we had to try to hunt down a place that was showing the American game live. Took a while but we finally found a sports bar that out of 6 screens, 1 was of the American game. But both the US and Czech lost. ("They're going home, they're going home. US is going home").
Now you may ask, how did I get from Prague to Lübeck which is in northern Germany? Well luckily for me Christian had a Red Cross meeting in Schwerin, a beautiful city in northern germany, renting a car and let me join him on the 7 hour drive. We left at about 6:30am and drove through Prague, which seemed even more beautiful with the early sun, and by the Czech countryside. Occasionally you could see castles or fortresses on the hill tops. Was really beautiful. Right before the German boarder there is this small town which is full of erotica shops and bars. But at 8am we didn'T see any prostitutes walking around, damn. Then once we got to the Germany Christian decorated the Czech car with a German lay and German flag. We travelled through many small towns, Christian really itching to finally get to the Autobahn. When we finally got to the highway, Christian decided to try out how fast the little rental car could go and I think he got up to almost 200km/hr. I couln't believe I was in a car going that fast. Then most of the rest of the way he was driving steadily at 160km/h as if it was only 100. When we did drive at 120 or 130 it felt so slow. But it was really cool to experience that. The trucks though or only allowed to drive the max 80km/ which is much better than in Canada at like 120km/h.
but I have to jet. cheers and talk to you from Sweden.
