I made it!!

After a long, cramped flight I finally landed in the Czech republic. The inflight safety video skipped horribly and the lipsyncing was off, but the effect was charming. The dude sitting next to me was nice, but wearing really strong cologne. I read all of the first volume of Maus and played Spore on DS. I tried to sleep but it was really awkward. We flew really close to Iceland and over Great Britain I think.

When I landed, I had a driver waiting for me with a little sign with my name on it. Pretty posh stuff. He listened to bad american pop music the whole way and I kept my eyes glued to the windows. We drove into the city and the architecture got less blocky and soviet and more classical and ornate. We finally made it to Kayla's (the friend I am staying with for the week) and I accidently woke up all her roommates while trying to figure out the buzzer.

We schlepped my heavy luggage up to her fourth-story flat. We had breakfast and then I fell asleep around nine am. I woke up when she got home from work. I have been unintentionally keeping vampire hours, this is pretty harsh jetlag. We went out and got pizza, which was yummy and I couldn't help eating the american way (in my hands). VH1 classics was on, and I saw the new Britney Spears video and some junk from the Jonas bros.

I met a bunch of Kayla's friends and they are all very nice and welcoming. We went to a goth night at a bar called styx. They had these giant mushroom scultures that you can kinda see in this picture. Um, or you will, as soon as I figure out how to post pictures. We took the tram part of the way back and then walked up the hills (Sooo many hills!) to the Blind Eye by Kayla's house.
