Prague Stories

After yesterday’s stress of trying to turn in a rough cut of our final film and finishing an Art History paper, today was supposed to be a stress-free day. Well, almost. I woke up late and went to Bohemia Bagel with Molly to finish the paper I had told myself would be finished by Thursday night.

Side note – For all of you who do not know about Bohemia Bagel, you should definitely check it out. It’s probably the ONLY restaurant in Prague that serves American-style food. They even have pancakes! Molly will be saying more about the greatness that is Bohemia Bagel, so I’ll stop talking about it.

Though I love the city of Prague and European culture in general, I’m sort of ready to go home. I don’t think I can handle one more serving of goulash or any more pivo (beer) at two o’clock in the afternoon! Yes, yes – that is Czech culture in a nutshell.

I’m ready to be back in Texas eating a plate of real Mexican food. That reminds me - if you’re ever in Prague and homesick for Mexican food, DON’T (I repeat DON’T) try it here. Molly and I made this mistake a couple of days ago. To say the least, the nachos were on nacho-cheese Dorito-like chips. They weren’t even real Doritos, and, even if they were, that’s just not good.

So, I guess the moral of the story is… if you go to Europe for over a month, be prepared to get REALLY, REALLY homesick for American food, but stay strong! Don’t give in to your cravings (like Mexican food) because they probably won’t be satisfied – except in the case of Bohemia Bagel. Come to think of it, I should probably be getting paid to be their spokesperson right now…

Last Thought – I tried Thai food for the first time tonight with Molly, Chase, Brian, and a Korean girl that Brian met on the Metro. It was a fun experience, although our waitress was the rudest person I’ve probably ever experienced in my life! That didn’t ruin our time though. The Thai food was actually pretty good. So, when in Europe, don’t be scared of trying Asian dishes at Asian restaurants. I would, however, still steer clear of the Mexican food!
