Prague, you are full of surprises.

My bed.
Desk. Dresser. Shelves. The other side is Devon's part of the room.

We were met at the airport by the student representative of CEECE our study abroad program, Natasha. She helped us get some money out of the ATM, NOTHING IS IN ENGLISHHH. We hopped in a taxi and ventured through the city to our apartment. There are a few inches of snow on the ground, but the buildings and the landscape is still beautiful.

Surprise #1.
While we all thought I was getting a roommate (GIRL) to fill our 4 person apartment, the numbers were off, and its me and 3 guys :/

We were a bit shocked at first, but there is honestly nothing we can do about it. There is one larger bedroom that they have sectioned off with all the furniture, so it is basically two rooms. I'm in the back part and Devon is in the front. Our other roommate, Donnie, is from Minnesota. He seems nice and friendly, so I'm sure it will all work out =)

When we all arrived, Natasha (the student rep) took us on a quick walk to show us all the bus/metro stops and the nearest grocery store, then left us on our own!

Surprise #2.
In the area we are living, no one speaks English since we aren't in the main part of the city.

So the four of us head to the local grocery store, where we are quite overwhelmed to say the least. Not only are all of the labels in Czech, but we have no clue what to buy! The one nice thing is the food is so cheap! We got loaves of fresh bread for 5o cents! So after an hour of throwing random things into our baskets we decide we might have what we need. Then comes the line.

Everyone is talking to us in Czech and we have no clue what is going on. We stare blankly. Four hundred Czech crowns ($15) later I headed back to the apartment.

Surprise #3.
They don't really know what a kitchen set it, or should have.

Lets just say that there are no sharp knives. 3 bowls. A pot. A pan. And TONS of empty shelves. I think our idea of cooking well just went out the door =)

BUT needless to say, it is quite nice and cozy! I'm all unpacked and moved in. I guess I'm calling this home for the next four months!
