Bill and Ted Take Prague: The Blog

HEY HEY HEY

The first week in Prague has been a complete whirlwind, but here are the highlights J

The schedule for the first week was basically orientation sessions in the morning, followed by afternoon walks in the city,

and exploring the city at night

The view 2 blocks from my apartment

In fact, the first 2 days were so busy that Bill and Ted did not even see each other until Friday!

Unfortunately, attempt 1 of Bill and Ted navigating Prague was unsuccessful. My apartment is conveniently located 15 minutes from Bill’s in real time and 2 hours in Bill and Ted time. Clearly we both were not paying attention during the afternoon city walks.

Clearly Bill does not have Googlemaps on her ghetto T9 Czech phone

Luckliy, we still had fun after the many detour(s) that were made by dancing to 80s and 90s music. Thank you, Madonna and the Backstreet Boys.

And then it was the weekend!

My first weekend was adventure-packed.

On Saturday, there was apple picking and sightseeing from the Petrin tower, which has amazing views of Prague.

On Sunday, we visited Karlstejn Castle, which is located about 40 minutes outside of Prague and is absolutely beautiful.

Basically a fairy tale town.

After the long weekend, it was time to hop on the struggle bus for Intensive Czech for beginners, which started on Monday.

Interesting things about learning Czech:

1. Czech is hard.

2. The number four is impossible to pronounce (čtyři).

3. New goal: pronounce 4,444.

4. Bill’s favorite number is 8 aka osm (pronounced awesome).

5. Czech is hard.

6. “Ano” actually means “yes.” Tricky, tricky.

7. “Sul” does not mean sugar. Do not add a half cup of sul to the peanut butter cookies you are making unless you are positive that it is sugar and not salt.

8. Even if you are really excited about the two words that you can actually pronounce in Czech, you probably should not say them to every Czech person you meet because then they will talk to you in Czech. And then there will be confusion and disappointment and you will awkwardly walk away.

After Czech class this week, we also went on some field trips during the week, one of which was to Prague Castle, which was pretty much the bomb.com
