I still haven’t started class and I’m still just wondering around this beautiful city, discovering cool new shit everywhere. Yesterday we finally were able to pick up our metro passes so we have unlimited use of the metro for the next three months, even though the public transport in Prague runs on the honor system- there are no turnstyles or ticket takers but every once in a while a police officer might ask to see your pass and fine you if you don’t have one. I don’t think any US city public transportation could run on the honor system. The trams are actually really efficient and super cute and I fully intend on riding to every stop just to see what’s there.
This morning we went to see a special performance by the Czech Philharmonic as recommended by Zuzana. We figured it would just be a daytime open dress rehearsal for their new program that opens this weekend. It turned out to be a special educational performance for what seemed to be every middle school student in central Europe. We were the only college students, and definitely the only ones who didn’t understand the Czech jokes and explanations of each section of the orchestra. It was still cool nonetheless and the conductor was a dreamy young Czech.
In the afternoon I had a 4 hour ordeal of doing laundry that involved taking the tram too far, going to a Laundromat that reeked of pot, paying too much, and coming home with damp, smelly clothes. I am very disappointed by Czech laundry.
Tonight we pubbed and now I’m exhausted, even though “late” pubs close at 1 am. This is my kind of city!
