Prague and Back again

So I went to Prague this weekend and it was really really great. The city is just beautiful. It's not really all that big and there's just something kind of charming about it. Jake being there made it a little nicer as well. Getting there though...CDG airport...I HATE that place. It's the worst airport I have been to. Granted, I haven't been to a lot, but seriously. I got so lost. I did the whole train thing fine and then the using the metro to get to the airport just fine. Then I couldn't find the check-in. And then I tried to follow the signs and ended up trying to go through security with my itinerary and not a boarding pass. I was so frustrated and tired of carrying my bags around and I was dehydrated and starving. But eventually I figured it out, though check-in wasn't open yet because I was there too early. But I got there. Czech airlines was quite nice too, they gave us food and drinks on an hour and 20 minute flight. Not bad. I get there, Jake is there, and we go back and I crash. The next day we walk around and just kinda check out all the sites Prague has to offer which are all in Czech so no I don't remember their names and even if I did I couldn't spell them. But it was nice. Saw James Bond at night because they only subtitle movies not dub them like the French. Jake's homestay is real nice and I got food and stuff which was much more than I expected. I also had to get used to hearing Czech all the time and not having ANY idea what was going on. Jake's czech was actually really impressive to me. He's not doing too bad! The next day we go to the opera (Don Giovanni) which was subtitled. My first opera! It was pretty fun actually. I wasn't sure I would like it, but it was fun. Then we made chicken pot pie for dinner! Yum! The next day we went to the zoo, which was of course amazing and we saw some amazing spider monkeys and a lemur just hanging out. Then we made our way to a Kladno hockey game (we won!) and had a beer at the pub waiting for the bus. On Monday, we walked around some more, got me some gulash and then we went to the Slayer concert, which was really fun, but then my body gave out from standing and walking so much, so we left early. And then I left at 7:15 in the morning.
It was a real bummer having to leave. I really did not want to at all and I don't feel the same being back here. It's home and all but I just enjoyed my time there so much. Prague has so many parks and it's really quite peaceful that you don't feel like you're in a city. Yet you have all the options of a city. Here, it's always crowded, but there it just didn't feel like that. I enjoyed my time with Jake, and it's always hard to leave him, but we'll be back together in a month. No biggie. The Czech people, they aren't "friendly" like Americans with all the chatter and all that, but they aren't unfriendly though. I was only there for 4 days granted. But they do make a mean fried cheese sandwich! It's a funny city too with the mixture of older buildings with communist era building with modern structures that are ugly. The language is a trip though. Not used to not being able to read a darn thing, not even guess. Completely different. But it sounds pretty cool. I thought their trams were funny looking because we have like space-age trams here but Jake was pretty offended by my laughing at them...haha.
It was a really great trip over all and it was so nice to get out of Montpellier and do something with myself again. I've kinda been atrophying these past couple of weeks. Coming home, I got lost coming out of the Montpellier train station...how bad is that? I did alright though traveling for the first time by myself. Especially since it was in a different country. I think I might be getting the hang of this whole multi-national thing. Maybe. Well back to school, back to school...
