Hockey games, classes and the Infant Baby Jesus of Prague

Hi everyone!

Classes started this week. They are good. They are taught very European though. But other than that, I am really enjoying them!

On Friday (yesterday) we went to a hockey game! Soo much fun! Rules to know about a hockey game:
1. DO NOT get up when people are on the ice. If you do, beware of Czechs blowing blow-horns in your ear. not fun.
2. Boo-ing=Whistling.
3. 5 beers=10 bucks. FAKE. At Dodger stadium, one beer would have cost you 10 bucks.

Other than having to figure out these rules the hard way, I had a lot of fun! The Czech team lost, but it was still really fun.

I went to the church were the Infant of Prague is. AMAZING. The Infant of Prague is this wax figurine that was brought to Prague after the battle of White Mountain. It was given to the Catholics in Prague who won the battle by the Spaniards who originally got it from God. Sooo...basically its this huge thing in the Catholic church. It was sooo beautiful. I didn't take any pictures in the church because I thought it wasn't respectful, but it was sooo beautiful! Anyone who comes to Prague should definitally see it!!

One last story. If someone asks you if you speak english---answer them and hold your purse tightly. My roommate and I were walking home one night and speaking english and a crazy man came up to us and asked if we spoke english. We didn't answer at first, but finally my roommate yelled, "NE!!!!" They guy grumbled something in czech and then proceeded to spit on us! It didnt get on either one of us, but it was still kind of shocking that a guy spat on us!!

Anyways, I will be posting another blog soon! We are going to Cesky Krulomv (sp ?) this weekend and its supposed to be BEAUTIFUL!!

Bye everyone!!!
