read me!!

Well this is my last post for a while, tommorow morning Jeff''s host father will pick myself up and the other exchange student thomas for our language camp. It lasts 2 weeks and is located in Jindřichův Hradec (don't worry its hard for me to pronounce also), it's in south Bohemia.

Ok food, wow its gotten better if possible! Naps oh my gosh they are my best friend as well, but first food. My host father was in China for 10 days and he got back yesterday, and since he got back my host mom it seems to me at least has been making really good food for him and us (martin was still here). We got steak it was tough but still really juicy good, and two days in a row i got french fries for lunch! (my fav. american food) The milk here is quite different, Martin said that you can buy some milk and if you don't drink it within 3 days it goes bad..no preservatives i guess. Other milk has a longer shelf life but it is still quite hard to drink plain, i have to drink it with food in mouth already because of the sour taste. My family has even gotten the higher percentage of grease in the milk ,and its still like wow...no one at home would say this milk is fresh...but it is so i drink it. :)

Next naps, like i said they are really good. It's been raining here like for 3 days straight so i have nothing to do really, i mean i do but naps...way better! Yesterday i woke up at about 11 o clock.. had breakfast, had a nap woke up maybe played some guitar or bass, had lunch..got on facebook or myspace e-mail,then had another nap woke up...and time for dinner...not a waste of a day at all! :) Also i had a nap today after lunch, this weather is perfect for them, but if i was to keep it up i would get fat real soon.

I mentioned i played guitar or bass, no i didn't bring them from home. My host dad's brother i think his name is Pavel loaned me his daughters guitar...haha its an old classical acoustic but i like it. On it is a sticker that says Come Back To Me (translation) its in the shape of a heart its funny. For the bass i bought an electric (because acoustic basses do not exist in this country or so it seems!) 4 string, it's pretty good it's an apollo.

Ahh tea, they drink that here like we drink pop in the US or whatever your favorite drink is, in the CZ its Chai Tea. I'm getting used to it, but at first i refused it (after trying it first of course). I have drank it like the last couple nights im starting to like it...its kinda odd because in the US i basically hated tea.

not much else to say for now, i don't think i will be able to post while in language camp so this is it for a bit.
