I just came back from an Erasmus students welcome party. I am no Erasmus student (but Erasmus Mandus wannabe) but I was invited. It was nice meeting new people and making friends. I've gained a few. Great!!!
It was an exciting night; it was not because of the party but the fact that I had to catch the last bus home @ 0055 @ Hlavni nadrazi (train station). I took the Night Bus @ 0042, thinking I would make it as the bus stop I was at was not far from Hlavni nadrazi at all. 3 minute would do. What I didnt know was that the bus would take a 10 minute detour to get around the city a bit. Once, it stopped to wait for passengers at one station for one whole minute. I was very agitated at that time as I didnt want to spend the night waiting @ Hlavni nadrazi for the first bus to come @ 0435. It was also too dark too walk back. Fortunately, I got to my destination @ 0052- 3 full minutes before my bus came. Yay!!! And the next 10 minutes, I was warm in my room.
And I still have a drawn Czech flag on my face.
Small stuff during my 18 days here....
The traffic lights here dont work on weekends and at nights
I get stared at a lot.
It isnt hard communicate with the ladies in my dorm though I dont speak Czech and they dont speak English. But we manage to understand each other somehow.
90 - 95 percent of people here smoke. I even saw kids as young as 13 smoking.
BAJA is actually a Czech brand.
I finished 2 jars of jam and HUGE amount of bread.
I tried typical Czech drink called svarak (red hot wine). I didnt like it. It's bitter and it's just not my cup of drink.

In the morning, one lady at the bus stop was staring at me. She kept looking at me no matter where I turned or walked to. Quite a while later, she spoke to me in Czech. I went 'I dont speak Czech'. She said sth in Czech again but this time I could guess. I should have spoken to her in my broken German. I might be lucky to have a little chat with her.
