Day 58

So today a band from California came and played at our school. It wasn´t really my kind of music but it was fantastic to talk with them after the show... they stuck around and talked with the group about life in the States and theirs tours.. They have been in the Czech republic for 5 weeks touring.. I stayed with them for a bit afterwards helping them with clean up to talk about their thoughts and experiences in the Czech Republic. It was a great opportunity and Im soo happy they came.

After they left and I cought up with my friends.. I found it really hard to come back to the czech reality. It was a pretty tough afternoon, their was a part of me that wished I could go with the group (touring some of the czech republic then head back home), but their was a greater part of me that realized what a mistake that would be. I can´t imagine walking away from an opportunity like this. It truely is fantastic here and my friends are really great! Supportive and kind, we have tons of fun together. Ive really bonded with a few of them. Im starting to see more of the subtle differences between the cultures and really starting to appreciate being able to see from a new perspective.. Its been really great and I look forward to the rest of my stay!

I messaged Vanessa and we met up in the center.. It was time for an exchange experience talk. We talked about our families, about home, about the ups and downs.. Its really great to have someone to chat with thats going through some of the same things.

The evening ended well with a chat with home. I got the chance to talk not opnly with my mom but with my dad and my brother for a bit. It really helps to ease your un easiness. Coming into the exchange I expected quite the opposite, that after chatting with home I would find it reaqlly hard to come back to my Czech Reality, but it really helps me actually. I guess its different for everyone.

So after it all it was a great day!

Love you all. Dobrou Noc,
