The Internet reached 4A!

Finally I can be connected to the world once more.

We’ve been in a feud with the kids across the hall for the past few days. See, we have the biggest apartment on Templova, but last week, for some reason, the six guys across the hall got an extra roommate, making them seven. Now they’ve been complaining to us and CEA that their living situation is “unlivable” and we should either switch apartments or take the extra roommate. CEA told us we had to make a decision soon. Before today, it was an easy decision because our Internet sucked. Now, I don’t know. We’ll see how this saga shapes up this weekend.

I have one more class before my first week is over. I like my classes; it’s refreshing to have class sizes of 15 instead of what seem like 1,500. The classes are comprised of mostly American students, but some international student, too, which is pretty cool. I’m interested to see what their perspective is on the United States.

Two nights ago we went to a bar called The Beer Factory. Each table has a keg below it and four spouts from which you pour your own beer. There’s a counter at the top that computes the amount of beer and the cost, then you pay on your way out – don’t try to skip out on the tab; it doesn’t work. It was all good until Henry fell of a statue he climbed from about 10 feet, then got ridiculed by the Czech police. After about a 10-minute dispute, he and Tyler avoided a 1,000 crown ($50) fine (bribe) and we got the hell out of there. Last night Max got pepper sprayed by an angry Czech taxi driver for hitting his cab as it drove by. I thought they said Prague was supposed to be safe. They also said not to be idiots in a foreign country. I guess being the latter doesn’t guarantee the former.
