Praha

Prague, Czech Republic

I was very excited just to get out of Russia, even though there are still many Russians in the Czech Republic.

When I arrived, it was a monster of a day. I had to wake up at 2:00 AM to leave my horrible host mother (who was complaining the entire time) and sit next to a huge group of 60 Chinese men blasting music from their stereo in the airport.

I arrived in Prague and found my way to the city, but couldn't find the hostel. I have an excessive amount of things (due to my four months in Russia) so lugging it around is very heavy. So, my body tired and weak, had to take a break from the wandering of the streets.

Then a car did a u-turn and a woman rolled down her window and gave me the finger. I must have looked like a jerky, tired, fat, lazy American.

Then I finally found the hostel, but had to wait outside for 45 minutes for the desk man to come. There was a number to call, but of course my phone doesn't work in the Czech Republic and I had just arrived (so how could I make it to a cell phone store if I wanted).

Then, to top it all off, while sitting on my luggage, hungry, waiting outside the hostel, a dog runs up to me and pees all over my luggage.

Thank you Prague.
