As most of you all know the Czech Republic is kinda small, it's smaller than the US of course but that's a given. It is six hours from one end to the other east to west and north to south the longest possible is 3 hours. Other things that you might find small are streets,cars,everything but appetites at lunch time. They have their main meal of the day at lunch instead of at dinner. Ok driving... there are no lines i would say unless your at a major city street the roads have no lines so its like a race track not really but with the road being a couple feet smaller it just feels like it. It is hard to describe i will put pictures up soon enough to show you.
Martin[host parents grandson] has taken me under his wing for the week before school :] , he went to canada on exchange and got back 2 years ago he speaks english very very very well. We went to a cafe and saw some jazz music which was very enjoyable, he was surprised i knew any of the names of the songs, when we walked in Satin Doll was on it was funny. We just listened to music and a few of his friends came and they spoke english so i could talk to them, i am learning CZ slowly. The next day we woke up early and went by train out of Opava to Siroka Niva. His friends were staying in a cottage that their parents owned and it was fun to meet more Czech people around my age. We played futbol, went fishing ,and went on a long walk around the area of the town.
thats all for now more later.

FOOD!
Alright i know that some of you might have been worried about what not with me maybe starving or something but thats not possible, not at all. My first lunch i had Tony tried to feed me like 6 mini sandwiches saying that a growing boy would eat those easily and that his grandsons did all the time i was just like....(wow im a pansy). I have mostly been eating breads with what they call butter but its as thick as cream cheese and really good... our butter in the US sucks no joke its not even edible but this stuff is amazing...anyway bread butter then some kind of sandwich meat and Milada (host mother) will put on either cucumbers or bell peppers and tomatoes random stuff i dont understand because it way more healthy than what i am use to eating. their staple foods here are meat and potatoes which makes me happy like some huge kind of beef with spices and herbs anyway its good...yea i dunno ill tell you more later

ahoj! Jak se máš?Neumím moc česky.prominte! Mluvíte dobře česky? Ano. Kdy vlak přijede? dobrou noc!
Thats what i have been hearing everyday
Hello, how are you, my czech is not very good, excuse me, my czech is good,yes,when does the train leave,good night (translation)
I arrived saturday when it was 1 o clock here , Tulsa is 7 hours behind that time. My host dad's name is Antonin but he goes by Tony luckily and my Host mom's name is Milada (i think thats how you spell it). They are a retired couple and very nice. Saturday after i unpacked i got to have a nap before we went to the castle in Frydek Mistek which is walking distance from Stare Mesto (europeans walk everywhere), ps Frydek Mistek is where my host club is and it has about 70,000 people living there Stare Mesto has about 1,000 living in it, and Ostrava (if you were interested) has about 300,000...any way getting back to my nap we never went to the castle because when Tony came to wake me up he said i was sleeping like a baby and so i slept till about 1 the next day and i had a good sleep of around 20 hours :)
After eating breakfest sunday and taking a shower, we went to a renisiance type faire in Frydek Mistek (we walked) if you have been to one of these you know they can be very corny with all the men running around with replicated swords and armor and stuff but its even funnier when its all in a foriegn language..
well so far thats all i've got so enjoy and i will most likely update this profile with pictures and other things soon
