Yes, street dogs can be dirty, they sometimes growl at you or try to bite you, and they MIGHT be rabid. But we hardly saw any of that (except at night in Mae Sot)… what we mostly saw were sweet, loving dogs who clearly needed a home! In no order of preference, here they are…
They say a picture speaks 1000 words. So, here are a whole ton of words for you, in photo form. Sometimes it’s hard to really explain what it’s like living in Prague from day to day, so I’m hoping that these pictures will shed light on the whole experience a little more…
In my time here, I’ve seen a lot, done a lot, learned a lot. It’s not often that I put these things into words, exactly, but I’m going to try. So, here are things I’ve learned from Prague, about Prague and the Czech Republic in general. Hopefully they will give you a window into Czech … More 33 Things I’ve Learnt From Prague

As you know, I’m not in Japan anymore. It’s sad. Sometimes I really, really miss being there so much that I want to cry, and other times I think how glad I am to be away. Well, here I am in Prague, and while we all might like to pretend we don’t compare our hot … More Prague vs Hamamatsu, Japan – Round 1

It was intense, challenging, and a lot of fun – and definitely not made any easier by my quest to find jobs and an apartment within the first two weeks of my being in Prague. After lots … More Prague: After TEFL – Damage Report
Hello everyone… If you’re wondering why you haven’t been inundated with pictures of beautiful Prague yet, it’s for two reasons – 1) my internet connection here is really slow, and 2) I’ve been SO busy! The course really is intense. I laughed at the thought a few weeks ago, arrogantly assured that they wouldn’t teach … More Life: Busy, busy, busy….
