4 x 4

I realized that it's been forever since I did one of these, so here one be:

4 words/phrases I overuse:
  • like
  • your mom
  • that's what she said
  • I know, right?!
(I mean, seriously, how old am I sometimes?!?!)

4 awesome things about Prague:
  • trains (Metro, international, all of 'em...so cheap, easy and efficient)
  • beer is cheaper than water
  • a relatively strongish dollar makes things pretty inexpensive
  • amazing architecture...castles, abbeys, mansions, churches. I'm not sure I'll see everything in my six weeks here!
4 unawesome things about Prague:
  • dog droppings on the sidewalk. Sick.
  • smoking is allowed in restaurants and bars, and therefore my clothes and hair reek of smoke. Ick.
  • some Czechs don't seem to like Americans much...even when we're mellow and blending in, they spot us and dislike us (disclaimer: I've noticed that this is more prevalent with the older Czech generation, which I had heard of before arriving)
  • the language - a word'll be made of 8 consanants and 2 vowels, with three different accent marks. Language learner friendly? I think not.
4 computer programs I'd be lost without:
  • the internet (that counts!)
  • Excel (I could probably make a spreadsheet about spreadsheets...I'm a dork.)
  • Word
  • any photo upload aide (I refuse to decide between PhotoShop & BreezeBrowserPro, or the classic ol' Nikon program)

  1. Sometimes its the un-awesome things that are the best examples of the "broadening" effect travel has on people.
