Prague is beautiful! As the locals tell it, Prague has not seen as much snow in years combined as we've seen in the last few days.
People are busting their stuff everywhere on Prague's beautiful but irresponsibly slippery sidewalks, streets and stairs. NOT COOL. And yet you can forgive it all because its well, Prague.
These past few days have been spent gallivanting by myself, getting lost in the streets, braving pub life where
I don't speak a lick of the language, meeting up with new friends and playing up the tourist role for all its worth! Prague-ians love this city so much that they'll forgive even the worst, (butchered) attempt at their language.
One of the
gems we came across on our school sactioned tour was this little ditty not too many people consider as they narrow down their list of, "must sees" when they come to Prague.
David Cherny's, "Pissing Men". In real life you can text the sculpture a message and
it will actually pee out your text onto the sculpted pool of the Czech Republic Border.
I'll let you interpret that message yourself.
If you need to see it in action and can't make it out anytime soon, check out this YouTube Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnPkaOSvqeg
But seriously, I'm here to learn how to teach not to go sledding and check out the crazy art. (Okay, maybe I am). Today was my first class in my one month certification course. Lets just say this... intense.
Tonight we wrote our first lesson plans, tomorrow we teach our first group of Czech students.I don't even know how to say, "I don't speak Czech," in Czech yet.
