Quick one before midnight...
Another quick update as I just want to share some quick impressions with you before going to sleep...
Here are the highlights of the past days:
On Thursday, I was at Chodov with Solnitchka (Jana), having a relaxing evening and also learning a lot about the Czech Republic and the history of the area where I work. We were having dinner in the shopping center and enjoying the first Christmas decorations.
It was cool to discover the story behind the statue at the metro stop where I work. Before the revolution, Chodov was called Budovatelu, referring to the workers ethic of the communist period. We also discovered that by night the brand new business park looks even more futuristic than during the day. Thanks for the nice evening, Jana.
On Friday I had to work although it was a Czech national holiday. This is a small disadvantage of working for the Belgian market. However, AIESEC Prague was organising a whole day event called "Communism Day", which ended in a small visit to the Jan Palach memorial and a nice trainee dinner. I was lucky enough to be able to join for these last parts.
On Saturday I spent half of the day studying Czech, and the other half in the city with Judit's friends. This weekend it was her turn to host a lot of visitors. (5 of them, mainly from AEGEE Budapest)
On Sunday I spent most of the day at home. The weather was not exactly inviting, as you can (not) see in the picture below.
For my next post, be prepared for a Prague by night photo report. I'll show you a bit more of the beauty of my current home city.
Stay tuned...
