I still haven’t really seen the city but I’ve walked over Charles Bridge twice, seen the castle, consumed a lot of beer and eaten some dumplings. The people on our course mostly seem really cool, so we’ve been hanging out a … More Prague: The course begins
Well, it was a long and arduous journey, but I’m finally sitting at the desk of the place that I can call home for the next four weeks. On Sunday, July 24th, Jeff and I made our way from our home in Hamamatsu, Japan, to Tokyo. After throwing away more bags full of our belongings … More Prague: Here I am…
