Today was the day that the Czech Republic played the USA in the World Cup. Being in Europe for a world cup is a pretty unique experience I think. Even though I am not a huge soccer--EXCUSE ME-- football fan, the atmosphere is contagious. Tonight we went down to Old Town Square, where huge screens are set up to play all the games and coverage all day every day. The amount of PEOPLE was ridiculous- not to mention, huge Czech flags, beer bottles and rolls of toilet paper (randomly thrown up at various points of the game. keeps things interesting I guess--or people are too cheap to buy streamers.) Its kind of cool though, Canada would never let anything be so free, so spontaneous. We'd have beer gardens sectioned off, probably seats for people, a whole list of things. And though there were sponsor tents set up in the square, there was only a 1/4 of what our commercialized city would have allowed.all in all, very "authentic".
In other news, I booked my flight from Croatia to Milan for after my trip so post school and Prague stress will be diffused on a beach on the Croatian coast of the Adriatic Sea. How will any other semester EVER match that??
And oh yeah, the sweet surprise. Friday evening, guess who shows up at my door? Adam. Like I said, best surprise ever. Best weekend of the trip, hands down.
oh, they're down.
take care team,
jd
