Well, the time has finally arrived: it is my last week in Prague.  It seems unreal to me still that I will be leaving this Saturday.  I almost feel like I will just be going on holiday and soon return to Prague afterwards.  I absolutely loved my time here.  I truly feel that I have…

Today marks my last full Saturday in Prague, and with a heavy heart, I am dreading to say good-bye.  Three months was not nearly enough time for me in this amazing place.  Prague itself is a beautiful city.  The architecture of all the buildings is astounding, and the history of it is inspiring.  I usually…

I traveled to Berlin, Germany as a day trip this past Saturday, and while I was there I walked through a crypt.  It was dark, quiet, and cold as the coffins lay lifeless like the bodies within them.  The most heartbreaking part of this crypt was seeing the coffin of an infant or small child. …

I work in a recruitment agency.  I am finding out that not a lot of people know exactly what recruiters do, and though I am not here to talk about what we do I will say that the gist of our job is to sell people…at least that is how my co-workers phrase it jokingly. …

I would not say that I am missing home, but I will say that I am missing the ease of grocery shopping and ordering food for myself at a cafe or restaurant.  I know that this is a bizarre thing to miss, but it is true.  Grocery shopping is very different here than it is…
