Reggae and Football

Ohmygoodness! So we all went to the Tesco Extra and I bought milk, shoes, and earrings that were on sale for half-price. I was also able to break my 2000 kcz bill. The shoes are adorable, and actually fit and were less expensive than the other ones.
We all got back to the dorms and made a big pasta/chicken Alfredo dinner. And by we I mean two other people who slaved over the stove because I can't cook. I did rub the garlic on the bread we had, though. And I cleaned the dishes after everyone was done. It was delicious.
After dinner we went to the Old Town Square because they have a giant screen set up for the Euro Cup games, and tonight was the Czech Republic vs. Greece. We were all in a group going toward the metro and I heard live music so I darted off. It was a Czech band (I know because they spoke Czech between their songs), but they sung in English. One of the songs was about how the guy was glad he broke up with his girlfriend, and he doesn't miss her, but he is mad because she stole his blue jeans. I only stayed for 3 songs. I also saw a lady with an Irish Wolfhound. <3
I took the metro 2 stops to the town square, and as I was walking I saw a guy with a violin and a guy with an accordion standing, not playing music, with the violin case open. I decided to wait for them to play. They were amazing. I grabbed a card from the violin case that seems to be a list of concerts, and I put a few crowns in the case. The violin player seemed happy that I stayed for their whole song and clapped at the end, while most people can't be bothered to stop along the street.
I then go to the town square and easily found the rest of my group; we all got our faces painted with the Czech flag. We caught the very end of the game, but the Czech Republic won!!! http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/index.html
Right after there was a reggae concert. My roommate and I bought a CD.

We walked around for a bit feeling like we needed to do something, but ended up taking the tram back to the dorms. It rained rather heavily for the few block walk to the dorms, which is unfortunate because I was wearing my new cloth shoes. My feet got really wet.
Tomorrow we tour the Jewish Quarter!
