...Not yet.

Believe it or not, there was a dearth of blogs dedicated to young counter-culture chicks moving to Prague, so here is mine.

My name is Lilly. On November 6th, 2008, I am starting a new life in Prague, teaching English. To quote family guy "I've always wanted to spend a year in Prague teaching English. Slacking off a bit, but really getting to know myself." (I totally stole that from here, but it is apt. I promise it will be the last time I quote Family Guy).

I'm going to get my tefl (teaching english as a foreign language) via a four week course at the Language House. I will live in Zizkov, which from what I gather is Prague's pub-choked punkrock Haight-Ashbury. One of My best friends Kayla absconded for Prague last February, so I will have an expat buddy.

I had to leave my life in Portland, Oregon a week ago. I moved there when I was 18 under the pretense of going to college, and stayed for five of the best years of my life. I am in my homeland of NJ now. Going stir crazy, as I can't drive and there is nowhere within walking distance. I brought my dog Tux from Portland with me, and he will have a lovely retirement home here in Jersey with my parents.

I will probably update this often while pacing around my parent's house for a month. If I could go in stasis for the next few weeks I totally would.
