Or Praha, as they call it down here.
So my Easter break just started. In Prague. We left Norway Saturday morning, and spend Saturday evening and night in Amsterdam. I travelled with 3 schoolmates who had never seen Amsterdam before so to them it was a big thing. They really liked it, even though they were a bit shocked over the red light district. We made it safely to Prague Sunday morning, where we went straight to bed in our hostel after a long night in Amsterdam. We are a total of 9 people from the school, a very good mix of nationalities, and 1st/2nd years, so it is very nice.
Prague is more than wonderful. It is completely amazing, and I encourage every soul to pack his/hers bags and go right away.
Forget Paris or Berlin. Prague is the place. Everything is stupidly cheap, and they city is SO pretty. If you've ever heard rumors of soviet block, and uncivilized. Forget about it. People here are extremely friendly and helpful and the city itself is the calmest and most authentic place in the planet. Its as beautiful as Paris, yet 10 times cheaper. (I bought half a liter beer for 1 dollar/6Dkr, in a bar last night). And then is doesn't have the arrogance of Paris. Furthermore the city is very clean and organised, in opposition to my prejudices.
The old town is gorgeous, and this place in general is a true heaven. I'm already planing on taking a study option here for half a year or so.
Oh yeah. I forgot. I got reply from university this Saturday. I got 4 rejections Thursday and Friday, plus one "incomplete" which turned out to be a bummer from the universities side. (I had sent them all my material twice, and yet they messed it up). Anyways.
I got a letter of acceptance from Middlebury College this Saturday. I'm very happy. It looks like an amazing place. I don't know what the situation is when it comes to financial Aid. But hopefully ill know soon enough. check out their homepage www.middlebury.edu.
So yeah. I'm happy in Prague. I've gotten a spot at a good university. and the beer down here is cheap. Several things that suit me very well.
