We are in Usti now, designing posters with czech students. Yesterday I was put in a group, being the only one from NC State, and the only one who speaks only English. We have to design travel posters.. and we decided to go out and explore Usti.
We walked outside, found a homeless man and asked, where do i go now?
When we finally made it to that place, we asked someone else, and did it again. We walked around for about 2 hours! It was actually a very cool way to go out and get to know the city, no map -- no direction... and one translator. ha Our path took us from the middle of the city all the way to the top of the valley.
It has been such a great experience, we are spending every waking moment at the studio or out at night because they want to take us out while we are here. Yesterday we got the opportunity to see the "Senior Show," which was awesome. Of course that included a couple pivos, its is like water out here, and much cheaper!... might as well.
Tonight we have saved up for the club because one of the guys is a DJ, should be fun! Hopefully I will be able to post again before we go to Cesky Krumlov... I heard rafting was possibly on the agenda.
As for my English.. after paying close attention to the language here and listening to translations, I have realized how my syntax had changed. It changes things when you have to start thinking about how to simplify what you say.
