Day 3

Ahoj. Jsem zde v Česká republika. Je to zde výborné. .... .. ... . Hey. I´m in the Czech Republic. I love it here! Its absolutely beautiful. I went to school today for the first time.. it was a little intimidating at first but the kids were very friendly. My host family has a daughter out on exchange in New York and before she left she talked to her friends and told that i would be coming. They treat me very nicely and the whole class is great. One thing that is different about the school here is that you only have one class of kids that you stay with. You are with those kids all year and take all of your classes together. So i´m very fortunate to have a great group of kids with me. Most of the time, the teachers come to the kids and not the other way around like in the Okanagan. We stay in the same class room for most of the day and the different teachers come and give their lesson. The class rooms here are quite bare.. only the essentials in each one that i was in today. Desks ( two people to a desk since they are fairly large), the chairs 2 or 3 small chalk boards and last but not least, a picture of their president mounted on the wall (in the top left hand of the main wall in every class) watching over the class... in a very Big Brother esq sort of way ( from the novel 1984 ). It´s exciting having all of these new surroundings and new people to meet and get to know.. I do notice that my English is actually becoming worse, the more and more I start to think (well try to think) in czech..

Travels were long and boring but i´m here now and thats all that really matters. Everyone is just so nice and helpful! My host my parents are amazing and really laid back.. i have a key to the house so i can come and go as i please as long as i let them know whats up..

So in the end there was nothing to worry about.

I better head off to bed.. school in the morning and it is 1030pm.. Iĺl try to keep in touch....



Dobrou noc... Ánichká (anna)
