Very interesting :) I am Czech, lot of things is tipical :))), but a lot of these things is special for Prague (pay for WC, salt, pepper, water in restaurant). You are right with McDonald - I was allways surprised, if somebody said, that it is very cheap, for pure people...The toilet paper you find in public places is one of the cheapest, you now, but we normally have a good one as well. Dogs MUST have lashes, but in the past it was not a rule and lot of people do that like in the past :) In Brno I know convenience stores with over the counter meds. But your are right, it is not typical...High Speed Washer/dryers - in public loundry there are not very modern machines :) But we normally have high speed program, really (about 45 min). And take the meal home is really normal here, I do it every time, because I never can eat everythig from my plate :) What is very interesting to me is your point about suburbs. I was allways wondering, where the people in US movies live :) Beautifull houses, but not village...In CZ we have towns, cities and villages. On the end of city is usually housing development (prefab). So you can live in centre, , on ond the edge or in village near city. I would like to live in suburb like you have in US (in films :), I have never been there). And the KETCHUP!!! :) You have different one?? How taste it? Wheres different? I really woul love to recognise your country, it seems so interesting :) I am sorry for my english and hope you understand :) Are you still in CZ? Have a nice time, Eva

I really enjoyed your Poland post. I have always wanted to go there. My blog is looking for travel photos. If you have the time, email us at dirtyhippies@gmail.com or check us out at dirty-hippies.blogspot.com Continued fun on your travels, Eric

LOVED this entry - especially the part about the old woman who helped the troops carry supplies through the tunnels. What a great ending to your semester abroad - can't wait to see this Sunday!

What an adventure! You deserved a good dinner after all that!

Unbelievable!!!! Don't know what else to say!

great blog, thanks for the updates!
Hi Tori,,,your blogs are wonderful. You sound like you are having the time of your life. I'm so proud of you and so glad there are level headed young adults like you and your friends who are gaing a global perspective. Love, dad.

The boys LOVED the "Poo Poo train" story!

Hey
Hey, I am just dropping by to say, that I lived there In the spring of 09. I am in room 109 or 108 i forgot. How are you liking it so far? Have you done any traveling?

Thanks for the update on Turkey
Hi Tori, Praying you will be safe and have fun in Turkey. What a culture shock from Mont Vernon I suppose. Love, Dad

Yikes! You really caught it close with that excursion - are you sure you're related to me (smile)? Sounds like it was worth the risk - such a beautiful city! I love that you were able to use your Spanish!

So glad you're loving all your classes! Love the colorful descriptions of your professors!

bahahaha that old lady sounds awesome!
