Velvet Revolution’s Roots Obscure 20 Years Later →
Yes, I was in Prague during the 20th anniversary of the official beginning of the end of communism. What did I do? I woke up late at 1, hung out with people in my dorm as we watched the sunset at 4pm from our top floor sunroom, went into town, got sausages, went to a freakishly crowded concert for the 20th anniversary where the first song we heard was “we shall overcome,” and then...

I usually don’t sleep before a long flight. I spend all night packing and then around 5 am decide to shower where I go through my mental check list and then an hour later get a cab. However, since today’s flight was in the evening instead of the morning, I didn’t think I’d be able to function on no sleep. So this morning, I set my alarm for 5.30 to go running. After...
I’m living in these renovated apartments that used to be a former ham factory. The apartments seem huge. Good thing because I’m living in a room with 3 other people. Its in this up and coming neighborhood Holešovice on the other side of the Vltava river - not in the main part of Prague where my classes are. I’ll have to either walk to class, which will take like 45 minutes or...
So I had this dream maybe a week ago that I was already in prague, but it was… kinda still communist. Not like super soviet russia, but I kept running into all of these issues that my sister deals with in China. And now, because of this dream I keep forgetting that Prague is not a modernized scene out of Dr. Zhivago. Its not like I’ll be living in a 3 story shack with a bunch of...

I know that once I start saying them, I won’t be able to stop thinking of them, saying them out loud, and coming off like a nerd.
But I can’t help myself - I simply love puns! Let’s get some fish and chips at A Salt and Battery, get a hair cut at Curl Up and Dye, and call it a day.
