Nazev Prispevku

So my page has translated itself into Czech...it took me a while to find the "new post" button. >.<
My roommate and I chilled out a bit last night, got some super cheap Chinese food and tried to figure out what time I had to set my phone alarm so we would wake up at 9am Prague-time. We are 9 hours ahead, so I set my phone for 11:45pm. For some reason, my brain kept thinking it was time to wake up; I slept for what I thought was the entire night and woke up almost 100% sure it was time...only 2 hours had gone by. I think I woke up every 2 hours thinking it was time to leave. Needless to say, when it finally was time to leave I was only-kinda-a-little-bit rested. Oh well!
We all got ready and went to a meeting on the top floor of the dorm building then walked to breakfast. Breakfast was very far away. And I was hungry. Which means when my teacher saw me she looked startled and asked if I was OK. After my croissant with the Czech version of nutella and scrambled eggs I was fine.
Our breakfast place:

Memorial for a student who set himself on fire in protest of Communism, at the head of Wenceslas Square:


We then went to Wenceslas Square and Old Town. There were so many amazing picture opportunities!

I also took some video, and by the end of the day my camera was telling me my 4GB card was full :/ (That's the problem with the RAW jpeg format my camera puts video in...going to see if I can change that).
We broke up into smaller groups in Old Town, and 9 of us went to the Charles Bridge (super famous bridge that was lined with statues), and the John Lennon Wall. We also ate and went to this 5 story supermarket/clothing/target/walmart store of beautifullness. I bought some groceries and shampoo, I'll take pictures of the labels to put on later. (added 6/3 and 7/1)
